I went ALL IN with Showit website designer, Wolf + Willow to celebrate 10 years in business, after learning that I would need another new website and all new social media accounts, based on restrictions and buyouts beyond my control. How’s that for taking lemons and making lemonade?! It felt right, teaming up with a…

The anniversary of the loss of two great women, that I loved very much, falls around this time of year. Those days on a calendar are tough for my family. They are tough because they are both missed in ways some people cannot even imagine. Know what helps? Photographs. A lot of looking back, and…

Mama… get in the picture.

I only know motherhood. I can’t write about what it is to be a father to a child. I know what it is to be a daughter. A granddaughter. I know what it is to be a wife to a man who is a father. My father and my husband… they couldn’t be better at…

Where your story is turned into something you can come back to. Photography for 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 work.

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.

Two lists, one for each side of the work. The right one will find you. Early access to availability, occasional notes, and the things worth sharing before they go anywhere else.

Let's keep in touch!
