Sherwood Park & Edmonton Photography Studio

Be Your own Everything

My name is Melissa and I am so happy you stopped by to check out my portfolio and website! Photography is a passion for me and I wish to bring my skills and passion to clients, models and creative projects. I have been photographing for 6 years professionally, as turning a passion into a business takes some time.

I am highly creative, but I also love helping clients achieve a vision or experience with photography. I live in Sherwood Park, Alberta with my family and 3 kitties . I love to read, and explore new and unique areas for photography settings, and locations. I also have been a Seamstress for over 20 years and this can help with achieving a clients vision for a specific shoot.

I love to have fun at my shoots and will often use puns and dry humour to put my clients at ease. If you are looking for photos that tap into your creative mind, look no further.

Contact me today for pricing, availability and let’s see if we can’t make your dream a reality. We are all pictures in the end so leave behind amazing photos of yourself!

Frequently Asked Questions


Do you have a studio?

YES! I shoot many photography sessions in my home studio, and am equipped with a specially decorated Boudoir room, however,

I am completely mobile and can set up a photo shoot in your home or preferred location for ease and comfort.

I also offer Luxury Hotel locations at no extra charge to my clients who would like a different feel to their photos.


Are you a Female Photographer?

Yes and as a female photographer I offer a unique perspective on photography.

Your comfort level is my number #1 priority and I want you to feel like you can be yourself around me.

Many men prefer a female photographer as well for Male Intimate Photo’s and couples Boudoir photography.

 

Do you offer Hair and Makeup services?

Yes we have a trusted network of professional Hair and Makeup artists that will travel with us to your preferred location to

work some of their talents. We want our clients to be 100% floored by their images and we take any steps we can during

Hair and Makeup to aid in that vision. Our network of Hair and Makeup artists work tirelessly to bring out that inner beauty

and show it to the camera. Hair and Makeup services are included in out Session fee so there is nothing to worry about.

 

Can you edit my “problem areas”?

We use every perfect angle, lighting scenario and scene to capture you in just the right way

that you will fall in love with your images from the very start.

We do some minor re-touching of blemishes, fly-away hairs and oddly' placed clothing but we prefer to not warp

the original image so much that it is unrecognisable. All professional retouching is included in our session fee.

 

Wow! This all sounds really expensive?

We believe that when you invest in yourself it comes back to you threefold. Our clients spend an average of $1000 to $3000 on their albums, wall art and prints from their photo sessions.

We know this seems expensive but when you see your final images you will know how worth it you really are.

We use high quality printing services that are discreet and fast and never ever share your images anywhere.

We want you to have a reminder of how amazing you are. Packages can be discussed upon our initial phone call meeting.

We Now offer pre-payment and monthly payment plans for all of our Photography packages.

We use a CRM for this service and it can be paid through credit or e-transfer. For more details please contact us.

We also have bonuses for prepaying you entire package before your shoot date!
