Hi, I’m Melissa — a commercial and editorial photographer helping brands and businesses show up boldly and stay unforgettable.

Based in Austin, TX and available for travel, I specialize in creating imagery that brings brands and spaces to life. From product photography and branding to corporate events, real estate, and portraits/headshots, every project is approached with a thoughtful mix of creativity, enthusiasm, and a sharp eye for detail.

With me, you're not just booking a photographer — you're gaining a creative collaborator. From concept development and art direction to seamless execution and refined post-production. Together, we’ll create a shoot that feels intentional, effortless, and uniquely yours.

When I’m not on assignment, you can find me cooking at home with my husband Skye, paddle boarding on Lake Travis with my dog Roadie, or enjoying live music in Austin, Texas.
