Hi, I'm Melissa

I’m more than a Personal Brand and Creative Portrait Photographer. I’m a small business owner, wife, mother, military veteran, and cheerleader for go-getters like you who have a heart of service for others.

Since 2015 my mission has been to help you step beyond the typical photos that feel stiff with a lackluster experience.

You are worth investing in. Whether you need to stop hiding behind your business logo or want to celebrate yourself, I want to guide you to show up as the best version of yourself on camera.

owner of Melissa Raelynn Photography!


This is because I have a deceptively easy process to make sure you know how to prepare, what to do and how to be in your photoshoot. 

When we’re finished, you will finally have those fresh, professional photos - like you see online - that actually feel like you, that will have your audience excited to work with you!

I have THE ability to put YOU at ease so you show up better in front of the camera

You are my specialty and I’ve got you!

"Melissa is an absolute master of her craft!

- LIZZY GORE

Somehow, through the lens of that camera, she captured my strengths, my joy, and my uniqueness. Whenever I start doubting my strengths, looking at these branding photos helps me remember."

"Doing this shoot with Melissa was like a spa day for my soul.

KINDS WORD FROM CLIENTS

- DORIAN

"I have always been camera shy...Before the session I was a mess, but she was a rockstar from giving me pointers on what outfits to bring to the session to making me feel beautiful and empowered. After the session I felt like a rockstar...I felt like a different person...she made me feel important, strong, and beautiful."

"Melissa got me out of my shell...
