About Melissa...

You might read the same backstory as other photographers; we pick up a camera at a young age and the rest is history! Well, that is how it all started, photographing people and horses since I was 13. I took a film course in high school and what an experience that was! Before digital cameras were released, we had to develop our own film, go into the darkroom and process our own images. This gave me the chance to learn the beginning fundamentals of settings and exposure. I'm not into heavy editing or filters that take away from the real look. I keep everything light and true to color.

I have been a member of many photography groups over the years and stay active in continuing education. I have won numerous awards and continue to challenge my craft. Working with various country clubs and magazines have given me the chance to meet amazing people and visit gorgeous locations all over the US. Below is a small list of those wonderful people and the awards I've had the honor to achieve.
