Melissa is an excellent photographer. I purchased a LivingSocial deal for a one hour on location photo shoot and so I contacted Melissa to setup an appointment. She suggested that we shoot at the beach at sunset to get the best lighting, and that was a very expert and very great suggestion. On date of shoot, she met me at the beach, was very prompt, professional and went to work right away, giving me ideas on what poses and which directions to face so that the photos would come out flattering. I wanted a lifestyle shoot that capture the most natural sporty side of my personality and she did that extremely well. She even got a couple of great shots of me skateboarding. During the shoot, she gave me suggestions on posture which was very helpful and at the same time allowed me to fully be myself and do what I wanted to do. After the shoot, she emailed me a link with the proofs, and they turned out really well. A week later, I received a CD with all the high resolution photos in the mail. I really love them and would definitely recommend her!
