BECOMING
START
work featured in:
This is not the finish line. It's a roadmap.
→ BECOMING is an act of defiance against the idea that you must have a destination to be worthy of documentation.
→ Whether you're celebrating a milestone birthday, launching a new venture, or navigating the "in-between" season, this session is a celebration of the evolution.
You're celebrating a milestone—or quietly standing in between chapters
You’ve changed, grown, or evolved, even if you can’t fully name how
You’re over 40 and want to honor who you are now, not who you used to be
You admire strong, expressive portraits and wish you could see yourself that way
You're a woman 40 and over, who knows life doesn't move in straight lines.
This experience is for you if...
You don’t feel “photogenic,” but you’re open to being guided
BECOMING meets you exactly where you are.

The Signature Presence Method
Throughout your session, I'll coach you through gentle movement, breath, and expression.
This isn't about perfect posing. It's about helping you feel grounded and truly yourself so what comes through feels expressive.
You don't need to know what to do. That's my job.

Introducing
- Rachel
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...
Meet your Photographer
I photograph women who are strong, capable, and usually last on their own to-do list. The Becoming Portrait Series is for the woman who’s grown, changed, and realized it’s time to be seen as who she is now—not who she used to be or who she thinks she should be.
My job is to help you relax, laugh, stand taller, and recognize the power you already carry. I’ll guide you every step of the way—no pressure—just an experience that leaves you with portraits you love and a reminder of how good it feels to take up space.
