“Melissa is amazing and my go-to photographer for the past 4yrs! I have my own interior design business - Jenny Welton Design - and whether it’s headshots, branding, or shooting my design projects, Melissa always does an outstanding job! She is so easy, fun, & knowledgeable to work with, and her photos are always incredible. I’m so proud to share what she captures on social media & my website! ”
“Melissa is the best! She helped me realize my vision for my product photography project. It was a very difficult to capture my lamps in a way that showed the detail and true colors of the lights. Her technical experience really shined with this project. I received breathtaking photos of my products that exceeded my best hopes for how they would turn out. I will continue to hire her to do future shoots. I highly recommend her.”
“Melissa took photos and raw video footage of our event so that we could build out promotional material for future events. Working with her was delightful! She was able to understand what we wanted with ease, adapted to the variety of settings we had on location and seemed to capture the essence of our team and participants. She also delivered the final product very expeditiously!”
“My company used Melissa as a professional headshot photographer at our trade show booth and she was fantastic! She delivered the items on time and went above and beyond at the trade show helping us capture everyone’s contact information. 10/10 would recommend.”
“We had a great experience with Melissa shooting lifestyle and product photography for a new line of nutritional supplements. She was very responsive, especially given our compressed timeline and website launch targets.I appreciated her efficiency, attention to detail, and ability to work effectively with a celebrity endorser. We are delighted with the project’s overall outcome and will use her again for subsequent product introductions!”
