What our Clients Say:

I've hired Melissa for two separate photo shoots (executive portrait photography and another commercial photography session). She's super knowledgeable and does an excellent job of capturing the images needed. Highly recommended!

Melissa was fabulous with our 11 week old English Bulldog puppy! She was very patient and loving with her and just let her do her thing! She captured beautiful images and made excellent recommendations for settings and backgrounds that complimented our puppies coloring. Highly recommend Melissa!

I had worked with Melissa for portraits of all of my grand dogs, and she was able to capture each of them so perfectly and uniquely that I hired her again when I adopted my own dog. Melissa takes her time to get it right, and her final product choices and results are exceptional. I highly recommend her!

Working with Melissa was fantastic. She is truly an animal whisperer!! The photos are amazing, fun, and sweet. How she is able to position sleeping animals in positions is pure magic!

We took our four little kids to see Santa with Melissa. They had the best time with the life size snow globe, treats and Santa himself! The experience was personal and we were able to take our time with Santa. Photos delivered were bright and edited true to life. We will definitely schedule again next year!

I am so glad we chose to work with Melissa to get photos of our beloved, elderly cat! She is a real professional at every step, and even though our cat was uncooperative in our studio session, Melissa's patience and compassion yielded some stunning photos of our grumpy lil' guy. My husband and I are really grateful for the many clear, artful images she captured for us. They will be precious keepsakes for years to come!

We used Melissa McGee for professional photography services at our OBGYN office for the second time as we added a new physician. Once again, she was incredible - so fun, kind and professional - and the results were fantastic! Could not be more pleased and would give her a hearty recommendation without reservation!!!

Melissa is awesome and very talented. She is both patient and very helpful. Melissa has taken our puppy's photo on three different occasions and they have all been amazing!

Melissa did a photoshoot for my foster dog. She was very scared and shy, Melissa was so patient and sweet with her! The pictures turned out amazing and she got adopted so quickly because of those pictures! I highly recommend Melissa!

I enjoyed my time with Melissa and my photos came out great! It was a seamless experience, with a great client portal and quick delivery. She's very professional. I will definitely use her again in the future.

If you are looking to have your senior’s senior pictures taken choose Melissa!! She is amazing!!! My daughter has had such a great experience and the photos exceeded our expectations!!

The Santa experience was the coolest experience I’ve ever seen. We are still waiting for photos but I’m sure they’ll be worth the 5 stars.

Melissa does a phenomenal job! She did such a great job with my head shot and family photos!!! She has a great eye, very talented, great attention to detail. I will definitely be using her services for years to come!!

Melissa is awesome and all the photos of my puppy are fantastic. She has a great eye and the ability to help get my dog to sit still for a photo. The end result will be enjoyed for a long time! Thanks!

Amazing service and quality you'll always cherish your memories thanks to Melissa McGee!

The investment was well worth it! I will be able to use the photos for a variety of different business projects and social media, etc. The storyline you crafted of the photos was a surprise gem for me!

Every time I have pet friends over, I whip out my photos of Catapult & Daisy & give them her card. I legit need no prompting to do that.

My sister said it was the most charming thing she had ever participated in (that's a direct quote) and the kids were talking about it for days. We plan to make it an annual tradition, based on the experience alone!

We plan to do it every year. So worth it. The session was amazing! The kids had a wonderful time, and are still talking about it! They LOVED IT! They loved the detail and the stories. Describing The Santa Experience was the focus of Thanksgiving for us. My favorite part was watching the awe on their faces. My sister suggested that we do it, and I'm so glad we did!

"I just purchased my Santa Experience for next year! It's a whole year away, and I am still excited."

I must say, everything was perfect. You did a beautiful job with the setting...and that Santa was the BEST! We are still getting compliments on your shots and how bright and cheery the pictures were. The atmosphere was very relaxed which didn't make anyone stress. I could tell you put your heart into it as always. I tell people to sign up now, because next year, it's going to get booked fast.
