I’m Melissa, a senior and family photographer serving the Orlando area with more than 16 years of experience behind the camera. Over the years, I’ve learned that confident portraits don’t happen by accident. They come from thoughtful guidance, intentional light, and taking the time to truly understand the person in front of the lens.
My style is rooted in warm, editorial portraiture. I focus on clean composition, strong posture, and natural expression, guiding each session so seniors feel comfortable, supported, and confident throughout the experience. You never have to wonder what to do or how to pose. I’ll lead the way while keeping the experience personal and true to who they are.
I approach every session with care and attention to detail, from planning through final delivery. My goal is to create images that feel elevated and timeless, images that hold up years from now and reflect this season of life with honesty and intention.
If you value an experience that’s guided, thoughtful, and focused on quality, you’re in the right place.
Based in Winter Garden, I photograph seniors and families throughout Orlando, Clermont, Winter Park, and the surrounding Central Florida area.
