About me

Hey hey! I’m Melissa, mom to two wild boys (energizer bunnies is more accurate) + two dogs, and photographer to fun and care-free families in the greater Boston area. I’m not sure if Boston family photographer is *really* the most accurate job description though, and I often refer to myself as something more along the lines of a toddler-whispering, child-taming, photographic ninja. I promise, I’ll find humor in just about every challenge that comes my way, so don’t worry about your kids’ behavior for family photos :). If you’d like to catch a glimpse into my own crazy world (proof that I’m right there in the trenches with you all!), check out the family film below.

In addition to mom-ing and taking lots of photos, I spend my weekdays as an elementary Reading Specialist. My two jobs complement each other so well and I really can’t imagine choosing one over the other (thankfully I don’t have to!). If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the last few years, it’s that time is a sneaky little thief. With my camera in hand, I’m here to help slow it down.
