{I had to create a world of my own, like a climate, a country, an atmosphere in which I could breath, reign, and re-create myself when destroyed by living. That, I believe, is the reason for every work of art.} - Anais Nin
Hi, I'm Melissa - a vintage-inspired pin-up, boudoir & intimate portrait photographer in Upstate South Carolina. When I'm not creating, you can find me perusing through flea markets looking for our newest props and wardrobe, getting lost on trails in the mountains, and in my garden. I'm most in love with emotive captures, old Hollywood glam, telling stories, and preserving memories through photographs. I especially love seeing you light up seeing the back of my camera. My mission is to help you celebrate YOU, and enhance the way you view yourselves through my lens!
