I am so glad you are here!

A little bit about me and my photography style.

I love the Pacific Northwest, there are so many beautiful areas for photoshoots. I aim to use local areas as the backdrop for my shoots. During the shoot, my goal is to make you and yours comfortable and supported. I do this by smiling A LOT and often times joking around. I like to keep things light and fun!

More about me - I have 2 amazing kiddos, 1 awesome husband, an English bulldog, and a red-footed tortoise. I shoot with Nikon which is the first brand my grandfather introduced me to when I was little. I love comedy, SNL and Seinfeld are two of my favorites!

I look so forward to working with you!

 

Hi there, I'm Melissa

PHOTOGRAPHY is an ART of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. It has little to do with the things you see & EVERYTHING to do with HOW YOU SEE THEM - Elliott Erwitt

Melissa led us in such an organic way that we didn't feel posed or stiff, it felt like a walk around the park :)

Melissa was fun to work with. She took the time needed and carefully considered lighting, locations and angles. Her manner is comfortable and relaxed. The pictures turned out amazing!

Swell Lens Philosophies

Playful pets

Busy body kids

Headshots

Worried about your kiddos getting fidgety and not posing how you would like them to?  

Don't be. The Swell Lens philosophy is - allow them to wiggle and move. They are more likely to smile and engage if they are able to get the wiggles out. Some of the best shots come from kids just being themselves.

Are you thinking about how in the world you will get your pet to pose for a family photo?

Do not stress. The Swell Lens philosophy is - allow your pets to get comfortable. Don't be concerned about them posing for the camera. Allow me to capture those fun moments along the way. These are the moments you will look back on and smile.

Not sure about what to wear for a headshot?

The Swell Lens philosophy is - wear what you feel the best in! Your confidence and beauty shine when you feel good about how you look. Just leave the rest to me.
