 I am so glad you found your way here. My name is Melisa and I am a Houston–Rosenberg based photographer who believes photography is more than images — it’s storytelling. I am all about preserving life’s raw, beautiful, and fleeting moments. I want every photo to take you back to that exact moment, allowing the story, emotion, and connection to live on long after the day has passed. I like to envision that any moment & place is a memory engraved & that is where my joy in photography comes in. Can't wait to capture your story.

I am glad you made it here!

get to know me a little more

I still remember the excitement of unwrapping my very first camera at my Quinceañera — a plum-purple Nikon that quietly sparked my love for photography. Over the years, that passion remained a hidden hobby. I was afraid to put myself out there… yet here we are, finally taking that leap.

At the heart of who I am, I strive to be a woman after God’s heart. My faith guides my creativity and fuels my dream of one day traveling more, capturing the depth, wonder, and essence of His creation wherever my path may lead. I’ve always admired nature deeply, finding peace in golden sunrises and the gentle beauty found in God’s creation. When I’m not behind the camera, I love serving and spending time with my faith community, that i am honored to be apart of. I also enjoy driving out to Galveston to catch morning sunrises, and you’ll often find me discovering new coffee shops — spaces filled with stories, inspiration, and quiet moments in between. Yet ironically I am not fond for coffee but matcha instead.










So here I am honored and looking forward to— capturing your moments and turning them into memories you’ll want to hold onto forever.

Family Portraits – These sessions focus on your immediate family—the ones you share everyday life with.We’ll capture candid laughter, sweet embraces, and the little in-between moments that make your family unique. Whether it’s playful giggles with the kids or a quiet, heartfelt glance between parents, these photos reflect the beauty of your bond in a way that feels natural and timeless.

Extended Family Portraits – When the whole family comes together, it’s a celebration! These sessions are perfect for reunions, holiday gatherings, or simply making time to cherish the ones who have shaped your family’s story. I'll take a mix of large group shots and smaller combinations, ensuring everyone has a chance to be part of the memory-making. These portraits serve as a beautiful reminder of the ties that hold us together—no matter the distance or time apart.
