Hi, I'm Melissa.
It was a non-traditional path that ultimately brought me to photography. I majored in neuroscience at Allegheny College and ended up with a bachelor's degree in nutrition & community health from The Ohio State University. From there I went on to earn a Master's degree in Public Health. ...and then I got married and had three precious babies (my little bees!)...and then I had one more bonus bee after starting my business (but FOUR Little Bees just doesn't have the same ring, does it?)
Despite credentials in science, I'm a true creative soul. Painting, drawing, writing, and of course photography really make my heart soar. After my last baby was born in 2018, my husband gifted me a Nikon DSLR and told me he believed in me. It was love at first click and the rest is history.
On a more personal level, I absolutely adore babies and capturing the raw tenderness of motherhood. I love to talk birth stories, share my own experiences, and coo over the sweet details of little ones during sessions. It's truly an honor for me to capture your special moments.
