Hi, I am Melissa!

A lifestyle photographer and graphic designer based in beautiful Southern Ontario. I specialize in capturing real, heartfelt moments with a timeless, natural style that tells your story just as it unfolds. When I’m not behind the camera or designing, you’ll find me chasing after my little boys and going on adventures with my spotted sidekick, Frank the Dalmatian. Whether it’s your wedding day or updating those family photo's, I’m here to bring your vision to life with creativity, intention, and a whole lot of heart.

My photography style? It is light, honest and genuine. I believe that everyone is photogenic and has a beautiful story to be told. I make it simple by keeping it light-hearted, and focus on those precious candid moments that naturally occur between two people who are madly in love.

If you’re dying to hear more, here are five things you might not know about me.

  1. I snort when I laugh
  2. I love hard cider or sour beer
  3. I am a wanna cheese connoisseur
  4. I have over 50 pairs of shoes and still counting
  5. And I design wedding invites for my clients
