THE PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE

We are ever evolving women.
In our new seasons we need to find a way to celebrate that with an experience that allows us to see ourselves fully.

Creating Extraordinary Portraits for every day women

This chapter of your life deserves to be seen too.

You’ve spent years doing everything for everyone else—now it’s your turn. Invest in yourself and finally get the photos that reflect the strong, radiant woman you are.

You don’t need to wait for the perfect moment—there's never a "perfect day". 

It is never selfish to invest in yourself and be seen—it’s powerful and you've earned this.

You’re not ‘too late’ or ‘too anything.’ You’re right on time. Let’s celebrate you with photos that make you feel seen, strong, and stunning.

The Portrait Experience

I proudly photograph every day women and want to show just how extraordinary you are.

No problem.

These sessions are Custom for each client. They are also so you can celebrate the journey you're on now. Every session is custom tailored to the woman I'm photographing. If you want to sprinkle in some boudoir or even headshots with your portraits, we can do that too! We talk about all the things on your Discovery Call, but feel free to email us at hello@melissaraelynnphotography if you need any specific questions answered before booking a call.

What type of photos come with this session?

Questions are welcome! I provide a myriad of insights and guidance during your Discovery Call, but if you need a quick chat, simply email us at hello@melissaraelynnphotography.com if there's anything holding you back from booking.

CAN I ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE I BOOK?

I get it! Over 90% of my clients tell me they're, "not photogenic", "awkward in front of the camera", "never know what to do", and are overall pretty nervous to start. The good news is you don't have to know what to do. I'll be there to help you through everything.

WHAT IF I'm worried I won't look good in my photos?

Yes. I have monthly payment plans available for up to 6 months of payments. Images and any products you purchase delivered after payment in full.

Do you offer flexible payment plan options for my photo products after the shoot?

Additional images start at $250 each and every client investment is different. Some just use the image credit and others spend $4000-$6000 and love albums, and wall portraits to decorate their home.

How much are your photos and photo products?

After purchasing, you’ll receive an exciting email series from Melissa! The series will include tips on how to prepare, what to wear, and we can also have a planning call so you are the most prepared.

WHAT WOULD I NEED TO BRING TO THE SESSION?

FAQS

Can I just get the digitals?

Digitals and prints are the same price. Each image you purchase comes with its corresponding web-size digital.

I had such a great time with Melissa. I am extremely unphotogenic and her professionalism and humor made me feel so comfortable, as you can see in my picture. It took me 65 years to see such great photography of myself, I guess it's never too late."

"I'm extremely unphotogenic...

- 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...
