Labor Day Weekend was a whirlwind for my oldest. She’s never slept so little and played so much. She ran (and swam) around non-stop with some of her favorite people. She did it all and I loved watching. Like always, I kept my camera nearby and even asked my mom to snag a few with […]

At nearly every family and newborn session, the subject of printing and sharing images comes up – AS IT SHOULD! I am happy to talk to each of my clients about how best to share their images from within their client gallery once it reaches their inbox.

We had some flights that were about to expire so a trip to the SUNSHINE STATE (when Pittsburgh was like -20 degrees) sounded like a good idea. It’s been a really wonderful “off season” and this little family getaway was the unofficial end to the slower months of the year for MLP… Lots of sessions […]

Where your story is turned into something you can come back to. I take photos of the life you’re living and the legacy you’re building.

Life moves faster than we expect. Seasons shift, kids grow, businesses evolve.

My role, on either side of the work, is to handle what gets in the way so you can stay present in your own life. Photography that documents what matters. Systems that protect the time and energy behind it.

You want images that reflect who you are, what you’ve built, and where you’re headed next.  That's the story.

Hi, I'm Melissa.

Maternity sessions, for me, are a celebration of your incredible journey, and the overflowing love you already feel for the little human you're about to meet.

The early days with your newborn are like nothing else. We’ll capture all the precious moments that make the sleepless nights and diaper changes all worth it.

Your family, senior, and portrait photographer in Pittsburgh, PA for every season.

Good stories are worth telling.

Documenting and celebrating, before that next big chapter begins. Senior sessions focus on natural and effortless 'posing' to create confident imagery!

Say goodbye to unnatural photoshoots. I use a child-led approach to guarantee a fun, stress-free experience. Roll with it and we'll make magic.

Your non-profit is making the world a better place, one event or community outing at a time. I'm here to document that so you can tell the world about the impact!

Approachability matters and everyone needs a solid headshot! Your small business or personal brand should have images that speak to what you have to offer.

A place to land for everyone.
Pick the one that fits, and I will only send the info that belongs to you.

Let's keep in touch!
