Welcome. I’m Melissa, a fine art portrait photographer based in the Twin Cities, dedicated to creating meaningful, heirloom quality artwork for families who value authenticity, connection, and legacy. With over a decade of experience, I specialize in fine art family portraits, children’s portraits, and pet photography that beautifully reflect the heart of your relationships.

As a mother and grandmother, I understand how quickly childhood changes and how often parents are the ones missing from the frame. My mission is to change that. I don’t simply take pictures; I craft refined, timeless portraits that celebrate your family’s unique story with honesty, elegance, and emotion.

Every session begins with a personalized discovery call where I learn about your vision, your family dynamic, and the moments you want to preserve. Whether we’re photographing spirited toddlers, beloved pets, or multi generational families, your portrait experience is designed to be relaxed, intentional, and fully guided from start to finish.

Following your session, you’ll be invited to a private photo reveal and design consultation. Together, we’ll create artwork that complements your home from museum quality canvas and handcrafted albums to modern metal prints and custom wall displays. Each piece is created to elevate your space and preserve your legacy for generations.

I offer a concierge level experience for families across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the greater Twin Cities area, ensuring every detail feels seamless, supportive, and unforgettable.

For families who value fine art presentation, meaningful moments, and a photographer who walks beside you every step of the way, I would be honored to create with you.
