Hi there! Besides my passion for photography, I love spending time with my two daughters, hubby, extended family and friends. I adore being outdoors as much as possible and some of my favorite places include Maui, the beach, Colorado river and Mammoth. On the weekends I am usually watching my girls play sports (soccer, lacrosse, flag football and track). I may be slightly (wink wink) competitive when it comes to games or sports of any kind! I love a yummy cup of coffee or vanilla latte first thing in the morning as well as cuddling our King Cavalier, Charli and my sweet kitty Hadley. I enjoy pilates, going to the movies, doing jig-saw puzzles, shopping (what girl doesn’t!), walking our dog, baking and cooking. I’ve always had an interest in photography, but it wasn’t until I got my first DSLR camera in 2011 that I became obsessed with improving my skills and eventually had the desire to make a career out of it. I really look forward to meeting you and learning the story of you and your family through my lens!

XOXO,

Melissa
