Melissa Uroff Artist and Photographer

I was able to meet Melissa at an event I worked at a few weeks back and I can honestly say that she is one of the best photographers I have observed, ever! She is a delightful person and is obviously a professional at what she does. After meeting her and watching her perform her duties in person, I checked out her website and was equally in awe of the professionalism in her work. Her photos have an amazing depth and character to them. Couple these great photos with a wonderful persona and you have yourself one great event photographer :) highly recommended.

I met Melissa about a year ago when she was working as one of the photographers at a couple Unilocal events. I found that while working Melissa was very professional, friendly and enthusiastic. She did a great job continuously moving around the room capturing moments whether they were candid or posed. Melissa is always ready, excited and happy to take a picture.
After following her on facebook I decided to take Melissa up on an offer for a photo session. Melissa was extremely personable and came prepared. During our shoot she made me feel comfortable and came up with a lot of great ideas. It felt more like we were friends than just photographer and subject. I was a little worried about the lighting at our location but relieved when I saw Melissa had brought her own lighting and box of props! Our communications were mostly made through facebook, email and text. She was prompt in responding and getting me any information I needed. My photos became available to me through an online gallery soon after my session. Then, after I had decided which ones I wanted, final touches were made and the negatives and copies on dvd were sent to me shortly.
I was extremely impressed and satisfied with the final products and and highly appreciated her work. Melissa is creative and innovation with her photography. I highly recommend Melissa Uroff Photography for your next photo-​shoot. Check out her website and facebook her portfolio and some of her other work. Because of her great professionalism and personality my fiancée and I are even considering hiring her for our wedding. Call her up for a quote or chat and I’m sure you’ll get a feel for what I’m talking about.

Always available, always prompt, always friendly, always professional. That pretty much sums up every experience I’ve ever had with Melissa. I’ve had quite a few bad experiences with photographers who talk a big game but deliver shots that I could have probably taken myself. Not the case here. Melissa has a unique eye that brings out some of the best of the events that I hire her for. I have no doubt she’d be good to hire in any situation, from wedding photos to documenting a party to just getting some fresh shots of yourself.
Madame A summed Melissa up the best by saying, «She is personable, intuitive, intriguing and inventive.» That sums up her skills in a nutshell!

Great Photographer for Fast-​Paced On-​the-​Move Events
SITREP
I’ve enjoyed Melissa at work for a few different events and have appreciated her talent and dedication for putting together great event albums.
SETUP
At a few Unilocal-​events that she has worked now, Melissa has taken some great group, portrait and single person captures. She is always happy to grap that shot of the group of friends that you have together and make it a memorable moment to keep.
TEQUILA MUSEO
At the Unilocal event held at Tequila Museo, I first met Melissa and was impressed with how she captured such vivid pictures of the colorful surroundings and the «fun chaos» of the event with so many people, Unilocalers and participants. She did a great job of keeping up with the various things going on in the big room.
SIENNA
Most recently at Unilocal’s Sienna event in El Dorado, there were a number different lighting environments — both inside and outside — of the elegant Unilocalers all decked out in their fine fashion that she was able to capture and make look marvelous with her wonderful eye to detail.
THE LOWDOWN
Melissa will create a wonderful picture album package for you to remember those special moments.

Melissa is amazing. She is personable, intuitive, intriguing and inventive, I like to call her a bunny rabbit with a camera but I won’t share the secret about that nickname, its so worth finding out about her talents on your own.
Though she was recommended to us by family, it was her love of hand developing and incredible adaptivity (portraits and candids are her in born gift) that attracted me. But buyer be aware, her prices are so reasonable you might wonder, she needs to charge more, she is just that good. And this isn’t just about her talent with a camera, my other vendors and my guests adored her! As did my fiancée (now husband) and I upon our first meeting. I could go on and on but let me say this, I did not cry at my wedding, though I loved and recall each moment, but in watching the DVD she gifted to us, I was overwhelmed, second by second with emotions spanning families, childhood, private moments, I lived it all again, as an observer connected and involved.
Only family can take pictures this intimate, telling and cherished, and so, we can’t wait for a baby to bring Melissa back into our lives, developing, creating and capturing the moments that make us who we are in one of the most beautiful ways we will never forget-​FILM.
Remember to ask her prices for hand developing and digital, its worth it and will rival your parents photos in authentic replication of who you know yourselves to be, embellished only by an artist who knows how to make you more timeless than you might be ready to be.

The best time ever with three of my great friends shooting pictures in downtown Sacramento. Melissa was awesome. thank you for our black and white photos.
