Hello

I’m Melissa

I have owned a wedding photography business for 12 years and still love capturing all the little things that make your life special.

What started out as a husband and wife team has grown into a family business. I, Melissa, am still the primary shooter and who you’ll be in communication with throughout the entire experience. Keith is busy these days with his home remodeling company, FLEX Roofing and Construction, and helping me behind the scenes with all the technological details of photography. My main second shooter is Olivia, our daughter. Her talent continuously amazes me and of course, makes me proud! She is just as passionate as I am about creating beautiful images and providing excellent client care.

Melissa’s STORY

I never planned to become a photographer. Keith bought our first “nice” camera when Olivia was little and I loved capturing her sweetness and daily life. It grew from there.

I went on a field trip with Olivia’s school class to the Louisville Zoo and took my camera. I was so excited to get good pictures of such a fun day. She had a friend whose mom was unable to come to the field trip. I made sure to grab some shots of her friend so her mom could experience the day as well. Surprisingly, her mom loved the photos so much that she asked me to do a photo session with her and her daughter! I was shocked and very apprehensive about taking photos for someone, but I was also intrigued with the idea, so I said “yes”.

When I look back at those first images, I can see plenty of mistakes and areas where I needed improvement, but it was that shoot that birthed in me a new passion.

After posting those photos on Facebook, I began having many friends and family members ask me to do sessions with them. The more I did, the more I realized I really loved it. After shooting for about a year, a friend asked me to shoot her wedding. I was a little terrified, but I couldn’t say “no”! That day was hard and exhausting but so much fun and from that point on, wedding photography was what I knew I wanted to do.

We have been in the Lexington wedding industry for about 12 years now. We’ve worked with so many amazing couples and wedding vendors over the years. We have been published on numerous blogs such as Martha Stewart Weddings and Southern Bride as well as in magazines including Kentucky Bride and Bridal Bliss Magazine. We’re just getting started! We have so much more to do!
