behind the scenes
"The children loved her and were so excited to have her take their picture. She has the sweetest disposition, so kind and patient, and has an incredible eye! When I had my daughter’s christening a few months later, I knew I had to have Melissa shoot the photos. This time she wrangled my three children with ease, capturing their attention and smiles for the camera. The photos she took were pure magic! Looking forward to working with her again!”
“I’ve worked with a variety of photographers on Staten Island and unfortunately not all are meant to work with small children. Thankfully, I totally worried for no reason. Melissa was absolutely incredible!"
"She is a pleasure to work with and has always brought my visions to life. Melissa has captured some of the most special moments in my life and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone!”
“Melissa is an extremely personable and professional individual, with an artistic eye!"
"She gave us memories that we will have for our life time. We can’t thank her enough for all beautiful work! We highly recommend Melissa and she will be definitely apart of our future events!”
“Melissa, was all around great. I felt like I knew her from the moment we met. And what’s even better than that, is her amazing photos."
"Throughout the whole experience from booking the event to receiving the photos, Melissa was communicative, professional, and kind. She is extremely conscientious of her clients needs and is dedicated to capturing the picture perfect moments. I have and will continue to recommend her to others!”
“Melissa is truly an outstanding and professional photographer. All of the images are beautiful and exactly what we wanted."
"Communication before and after the session was excellent and turnaround for edits was very quick. She kept me in the loop the entire time, which is something this mama truly appreciates! She made me feel comfortable from the get-go, and my daughter had so much fun she didn’t want to leave. I would highly recommend Melissa for any of your family photography needs!”
“Melissa was an absolute dream to work with! She took a mixture of posed and candid photos, where she captured my daughter’s personality perfectly."
" I was so pleased with my session and the birthday party she worked for my daughter. The final photographs are beautiful and I know I will continue to use her in the future. Her pricing is also unmatched.”
