“I am an artist. I create and capture moments in time with a photograph. I love children. I love the care free, and unbiased nature of a child. I love families. I love the moments when love can be seen from a mothers touch or a father’s eye’s. I take the time to capture the true nature of your life in that moment. So when you look back you will smile, and remember.” ~Melissa

I am a on-location and studio photographer. I love to use the beauty of natural light and gorgeous backgrounds. I can work outdoors, in your home, or in a studio when natural light is not sufficient.
When your children explore a new place, or are in the comfort of their own environment, they are more relaxed and I feel it is the best way to capture your true child.
I can recommend several locations throughout chilliwack and surrounding areas.
Each session can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours. Newborns and babies take time to photograph so we leave time for feedings, soothing and changing time.
Newborns are best photographed before they are 2 weeks old, so booking prior to baby’s due date is advised. Maternity is best shot between 6-8 months. Babies photograph best at 9 – 12 months.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
I will be happy to go over them with you.
I have always had a love for photography, but it seemed to be just a hobby. When my first daughter was born, she lit a love within me – not only for her – but for wanting to capture every waking moment of film. That is when photography became a huge part of my life again.
Being able to capture a moment and re-live that same feeling over and over? That’s magical
I love using natural light and the beautiful backdrops god has given us. I love to capture the “Real” moments in your child’s life. The one where he explores a new turf, or how she lives comfortably in her own area. A smile, or even a frown…
I love meeting new people and creating a lifetime piece of art for you and your family.
I am based out of chilliwack, BC
and surrounding areas.
