Hi friend!
    I'm Melissa! 

Your goofy, laid back, 
here for you every step of the way
photographer & friend

Chicago is home & it’s a beautiful life that I’m deeply grateful to live here with my husband, Jason, & lil girl, Mila! I'm plant + flower obsessed, always ready for an oat milk latte, and most weekends you can catch me boppin around some thrift stores & going for a run! 

There are hard things in this life, of course, but there’s so many beautiful in-between & mountain-top moments. 

One of my own mountain moments was my wedding day. It rained buckets but we didn’t care. We had our first look in the rain, complete with smiles and giddy joy. Then we celebrated with friends & family over breakfast for dinner. It was a glimpse of heaven on earth!

And it’s because of that day, and many others, that I do what I do. I love your story and fleeting/in-between moments. But I don’t just love them - I believe in them.
