We were saying goodbye to my mother-in-law when I found out that I was pregnant. My husband Chris was by her side in Massachusetts taking care of her for weeks alongside his siblings. Meanwhile, Ava and I were home just trying to stay on top of ​life and to be there for everyone from afar. […]

This past weekend, I shot a wedding on Saturday for The Leeann Marie Collective, a newborn session on Sunday morning and a family life session that same afternoon. Another busy weekend (loved it all, so thankful). While I’m away, sometimes I can only imagine what goes on at home… in a good way! My husband is […]

I simply cannot believe that 365 days have past since our little girl came into this world. She is the most wonderful blessing.  My husband and I can’t imagine life without her. We are both better simply because she is here. The past year has been an absolute roller coaster -one that I’d gladly ride […]

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!
