We all know how the saying goes that says “the days are long, but the years are short…” It is the truth, and it is why I got into photographing all of the special moments in life… because the day we meet for a session with your family, is one of the days in your book, part of the current chapter of your story that is being written.

In all of your seasons, I want to help you remember today. The right now, in the middle of the imperfect moments, the messy and wild days…I want to capture for you what the heart does not want to forget. Because these are the days that we will want back… and the effort and investment of getting everyone ready and booked for a session will be something you are so glad you did… portraits that will forever be ways to be transported back in time in your heart.



I Want to Remember…

- Karlee Kennedy

Melissa has shot our family photos at the Cape for 2 summers and we couldn’t be happier with the results. She’s patient, engaging with the littles, and works quickly so we can get back to vacation! We highly recommend her!

THE DETAILS

I happily offer mini sessions 4x per year. Spring in the Apple Blossoms, Summer Minis at the beach, Fall sessions in the foliage, and Winter sessions at a Christmas Tree Farm.

These are 15 minute sessions, and always sell out quickly because of limited space. I always love to offer these for families looking for a way to just get a handful of family pictures, or for families with a family member who likes to keep photo sessions short and sweet! The way these schedule themselves is with a 5 minute buffer between families, with a total of 4 families per hour.
