Make Your Business Stand Out
Stop patching together stock photos, old headshots, and images from your phone. A branding session gives you a full set of images — the kind that boost your SEO, and make people trust you before you say a word. Use them on your website, LinkedIn, social, and wherever people find you.
She'll Love Them; You'll Frame Them
Senior portraits she'll actually love — and you'll want to frame. No stiff poses or forced smiles. Just real photos of who she is right now, right before everything changes. The kind of photos she'll want to post, you'll want to print, and grandma will display proudly on the piano.

—I'm Melissa Prior, and I create photographs to show the world how memorable you truly are—
Hi, I'm Melissa.
I believe great photos should feel like you—not like you’re posing for a camera.
Whether I'm photographing a high school senior stepping into his next chapter or a business owner ready to show the world what she brings to the table, my goal is the same: to create images that feel confident, authentic and unmistakably you.
I'll guide you through the whole experience—from what to wear and where to shoot to posing and those little moments that make the images come alive.

Working with me, you'll get:
Professional results
With years of experience and professional gear in my camera bag, your images will be stunning! Thoughtfully strategized sessions allow more room for creativity and the pursuit of excellence.
High-quality, stunning images
There's something to be said for composition, depth of field, and posing. These photographic tools work together to bring you striking, unforgettable images.
Capturing the moment
Capturing a moment on camera is pure magic. You can't go back and recreate that smirk in a family portrait, the anticipation in the eyes of a high school senior, or the progress of small business.
Improved confidence
Few people are really, really comfortable in front of the camera. And that's ok! Making you feel comfortable and more confident in front of the camera is one of my specialties—
Peace of mind
Working with a professional allows you to focus on the essentials, like coordinating schedules and outfits! It also guarantees that your images will be keepsakes for years to come.
Personalized representation
Photos should show your best side—and convey your personality! We'll work together to create shots that meet your vision for your session.
