AUSTIN CONFERENCE & EVENT PHOTOGRAPHER
Intentional. Strategic. Story-Driven.
For brands that want their events seen, shared, and remembered.
Austin-based, capturing events nationwide
From keynote speakers and panel discussions to branded activations and candid attendee moments, I’m an Austin event photographer capturing conferences and corporate events with a polished, editorial approach. Based in Austin, Texas and available for travel, I create imagery designed for marketing, PR, and social media.
I work with brands and organizations to capture the energy and essence of each event—whether it’s a corporate conference, product launch, networking mixer, keynote, or private celebration.
With a documentary-style approach and an eye for clean, compelling visuals, I deliver images that reflect your brand and the moments your guests will remember.
From single-day events to multi-day conferences, I create galleries built to perform—ready for social, press, internal marketing, and wherever your story needs to shine.
“Melissa was amazing to work with for our Hostchella event in Austin. The photos are incredible and truly captured every detail, every candid, and the full vibe of the event. She made everyone feel so comfortable and somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever being in the way. I’m obsessed with how everything turned out and can’t wait to work with her again.”

“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.”
“Melissa photographed a professional event for my organization and she was fantastic. Asked all the right questions in the run-up to the event, arrived early, did exactly what we needed, and was quick with her turnaround on the images. Can’t say enough and would absolutely contact her again for future events in the Austin area!”
“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!”
