"I definitely recommend "

Always a great experience with moments by Meli! I’ve had a few sessions with Meli and she always makes it very easy and comfortable and is great at directing you on what to do. The pictures turn out fantastic and she’s awesome at getting back to you as quick as possible!

"It is always a pleasure working with Meli "

She is so professional, calm, collective, amazing with kids and scopes out each spot before your photoshoot to ensure you get the best photos in the best spots. She knows all the good angles and is always up to shoot those “trending” pics.

" We love all the special moments she captured "

We have worked with Meli twice for family photos. Once when our daughter was an infant and again for her first birthday photos. Both times she was patient with a cranky and/or hungry kiddo and managed to make us feel at ease throughout the whole process.

Daniela H

"Meli was absolutely wonderful "

From picking a spectacular location, to helping us get into the right poses, she did all the right things. We shared lots of laughs and felt very comfortable. Then came the best part, the gorgeous pictures which we now proudly display in our home. I am looking forward to working with her again.
