Hey, I am Melissa!

storytelling family & wedding photographer based in North Vancouver.

From this personal experience, I realized how important it is to preserve the raw, authentic moments of life. I want to hold space for you, to create something that beautifully reflects this chapter of your life in all its authenticity. To capture photos that feel like you, at your most real, at your core.

My love for nature often inspires my work, bringing a natural, light, and earthy touch to each session. I aim to create images that reflect the unique essence of each moment and the deep emotions behind them.

I've always been drawn to photography, the art of freezing moments in time and making a second last a lifetime.

My journey began with the simple act of documenting my own family, capturing the moments as my children grew from newborns into the little people they are today. For years, I was the one behind the camera, never in front of it. Like many mothers, I was often absent from family photos.

We tend to forget our own place in the story. We capture our children, our loved ones laughing, playing, and sharing precious moments—but how often do we step into the frame ourselves?

Always the ones behind the camera, never in the picture.
