“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! ”
“She creates inspiration! Ever since I began using her exclusively for our listing photos, we’ve not only seen exceptional (and higher quality) photos but the turn around is unmatched. She’s extremely responsive, has affiliates that are just as reliable and has been an absolute game changer. Highly recommended, 10 stars!”
