testimonials

"I'VE WORKED WITH MELISSA FOR NEARLY A DECADE AND SHE'S ALWAYS PERFORMED ABOVE EXPECTATION. HER PHOTOGRAPHY IS DETAILED, ARTISTIC, AND ALWAYS HIGHLIGHTS MY PROJECTS IN THEIR BEST LIGHT. SHE LISTENS WELL TO REQUESTS AND IS CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE SHE GETS ALL OF THE SHOTS I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT ON A PROJECT. SHE IS POLITE AND RESPECTFUL WHEN WORKING IN CLIENTS HOMES AND I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO OUR SESSIONS TOGETHER. SHE'S ALSO VERY FAIRLY PRICED AND DELIVERS A SURPRISING QUANTITY OF EDITED IMAGES! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WORKING WITH MELISSA!" ​

"OUR FIRM HIRED MELISSA TO PHOTOGRAPH A RECENTLY-COMPLETED CUSTOM HOME THAT WE DESIGNED. THE ENTIRE PHOTO SHOOT WAS AN ENJOYABLE AND EFFICIENT PROCESS. SHE MANAGED THE ENTIRE SHOOT HERSELF, WITH LITTLE-TO-NO INPUT FROM US. WE ARE 100% SATISFIED WITH THE FINAL PRINTS WE'VE RECEIVED, AND THE HOMEOWNERS COULDN'T BE HAPPIER WITH HOW THE PHOTOS OF THEIR NEW HOME TURNED OUT. MELISSA IS TALENTED PROFESSIONAL, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH HER AGAIN ON FUTURE PROJECTS!" —ANDREW, MANAGING PARTNER, FOUR SQUARE DESIGN STUDIO

"MELISSA HAS BEEN A GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER! HER ATTENTION TO DETAIL WITH PROP PLACEMENT, USE OF NATURAL LIGHTING, AND EDITING HAVE BEEN VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. SHE WILL WALK INTO THE SPACE AND STAGE IT AS WELL AS PHOTOGRAPH IT. HER EYE FOR THE SHOT, THE HEIGHT FROM WHICH THE LENS SHOULD BE, AND HOW THE SOURCE WILL BE PERCEIVED IS AUTOMATIC FOR HER. PHOTOGRAPHY COMES NATURALLY TO MELISSA AND I INTEND TO USE HER ON MANY MORE OF MY JOBS. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK." ​ —TERRI, PRINCIPAL DESIGNER & CO-OWNER, HERMITAGE KITCHEN GALLERY

"MELISSA WAS AN ABSOLUTE DELIGHT TO WORK WITH—PUNCTUAL, PROFESSIONAL, AND VERY PERSONABLE. MY SHOP IS SMALL AND HAS TRICKY LIGHTING, BUT SHE DID A SUPERB JOB OF CAPTURING THE INVITING COZINESS, AND I’M THRILLED WITH THE RESULTS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER AND WILL DEFINITELY CALL ON HER AGAIN IN THE FUTURE."  —JOELLE, OWNER, HER BOOKSHOP
