I spent high school completely engrossed in singing. Choirs, plays, even some piano, I was sure that was going to be my life. I even started a music education degree at UNH. But it ended up not being where my heart was. When my son was born, I started taking copious photos of him and the more images I took, the more I saw images everywhere. A friend asked me if I'd be interested in photographing his daughter's wedding.

I told him I had never done that. He said 'yeah, but do you want to?' And did I ever! I photographed that first wedding and a new love was revealed. Now - over a decade later - I'm still so in love with making tangible memories. Babies, families, weddings and events, there are moments to remember. When I say "fall wedding" I mean you're going to FALL for this Bull Meadow Barn Fall Wedding The warm-colored velvet dresses?

Holy sh*t. The brown suits and bowties? Yes, please. The perfectly behaved pups? Wait - what!? They have monogrammed bandanas too? Ok, just - can it get any better?
Services
Allowing you to be yourselves and ensuring you have maximum fun at your wedding are my top priorities.
Photos are the bi-product of that!
NH Wedding Photographer for New Hampshire Non-Traditional Weddings, New England Queer Elopements, Maine LBGTQ+ Engagement Photos, and more.
My hope is that you and your future generations have the best reminders of your love and laughter on the day you started this part of your life together.
Planning a wedding can be scary and overwhelming and I completely understand the thought process of 'so and so can do it cheaper' - it's expensive and anywhere you can trim the budget has to be good, right?
I have yet to photograph a family who fits inside a nice neat little box.
As your NH family photographer, I'll capture your personalities in a fun photography session that's all about you!
It's not about being perfect.
It's not about losing 10 more lbs or wearing matching clothes.
It's about being your own person.
Kindhearted, silly, loving, mildly-inappropriate, excited, apprehensive, quirky, unique, YOU!
And really, please, skip the matching clothes.
In most cases, there will be availability on my schedule within the month.
I've been caring for newborns since I was 3 1/2 and my brother was born.
My mother used to wake up startled she'd slept in, only to find me in my brother's crib, with a bottle, his diaper changed and playing happily.
I have patience and experience.
Most clients call me the baby whisperer and ask if I can come back at 2 am.
In a nutshell - I love babies.
They're my zen.
The session is a relaxed process and usually involves a lot of patience, waiting, feeding, and inevitably, I get peed on, or otherwise, and that's ok! Newborn sessions are my favorite, and with mine grown past 6' and moved out, I relish in every nuance of your squishy bundle of love!
My love of capturing those moments shines through in every single image I take.
Plus, I'm ridiculously organized and super stealthy so those moments are not staged, they are true, natural and real.
We just enjoyed our first 'mini-session' with Melissa.
Picture three people, two who are mega-self-conscious (to say the least) and one nine-year-old who bounces every minute of the day, and imagine the wizard who makes time stand still.
That's Melissa.
This sneak preview has me certain that we will be clients, and devout fans, as long as she'll have us.
