"Melissa and Joseph are amazing photographers. As a family we have used them for years after going through many different ones first. They are a beautiful couple and it shines in their work. They capture the most real and beautiful moments. They always know exactly what to do and how to pose, as well as making it fun while you do it. They capture everything I want and more. Every time I get a gallery back I’m amazed! I can not rave enough about them as photographers, can’t wait to work with them for many more years to come! Thanks for capturing our family and always being fast, inspiring, and efficient!"

"Wow, Melissa is amazing!!! We did a family photo shoot with her and I cannot gush enough! She easily dealt with uncooperative kids and made the entire experience so fun. She is a master of lighting and posing, I cannot pick a favorite from the photo shoot because they are all masterfully done. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!”

"We have had several photo shoots taken through out our lives, but this one was one of my absolute favorites. Some of the reasons include; Melissa was super fun, funny, creative, and created a great ambiance. She did great at helping with positions, helped with awkward moments by talking and laughing, and she made us feel comfortable since the beginning. She was also super easy to work with. She did great communicating. She did great planning in advance the location and the time. She was very prepared and on time. I highly recommend her. Will be calling for future shoots."

"Melissa was wonderful to work with. She instantly made us feel comfortable and was very fun and creative with how she posed us. She also showed us pictures periodically when she captured an especially great shot (which was fun for us to get a sneak preview!) Overall, great experience. Thanks Melissa!”
