We truly love Melissa! She drove to Chicago to shoot our engagement photos. She's super flexible, accommodating, personable, and professional! We can't wait to spend our wedding day with her.

Melissa was the perfect photographer for our wedding. She is so easy to be around and talk to that she took away all the stress of a "photo shoot." We loved spending time with her for our engagement session and the final pictures looked amazing! We cannot wait to see what great shots she captured at our wedding. Our guests LOVED the portrait booth that she set up for the wedding reception. We cannot recommend her highly enough. We're excited to work with her again in the future for other photo sessions.

What drew me to Melissa from the start was the creative fine art quality of her work. When I met with Melissa for the first time, her warm personality stood out. Melissa is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is highly regarded by her wedding industry colleagues. Everyone had nothing but lovely things to say and rave about Melissa. She is not only an amazing human being, she sets you at ease. Melissa is such a real and genuine person that I felt comfortable having a boudoir session with her. We hired her for an engagement session and wedding day photography. Melissa was able to blend in with her surroundings such that my fiancé and I did not feel self-conscious, even in public. She is flexible and willing to change things up on the go. We had planned to just walk around downtown for pictures, but then decided to go to the Arb Peony Garden. She gave minimal instruction and kept the shots looking natural.

Melissa and her assistant Kerri were great at helping to keep the family picture time rolling smoothly. They had our list of must-have shots and went through them effortlessly. Melissa, even threw her body over mine, when my groom caught an accidental glimpse of me pre-first look.

More than that, Melissa is professional and a great communicator. She was quick to send a few sneak peak shots within a short period of time. Her work was stunning and there were never any mistakes by ways of duplicates/etc. that I have heard about with other photographers. I hope Melissa will continue to share her talent so that she can photograph more of our family milestones.
