Intimate Portraits on Film & Digital

Your Questions

How do I book?

That’s easy! Fill out a contact form as soon as you are ready & I will be in touch within 48 hours. After a quick consult, (which can be done by email, phone, or Zoom), I will send over your full proposal, including the invoice & contract. After that, we can get your session date reserved on the calendar.

When should I book?

I offer a very limited amount of sessions each month. The sooner, the better! If you want products by a certain date, I would highly recommend booking at least 3 months out.

Do You share my images?

Your privacy is very important to me. Absolutely no images are shared unless I have your explicit permission. No one will see your photos before you do.

Do you have a studio?

I have small studio in Lusby, Maryland. Sessions can also be done at a styled home rental in various locations in Maryland, Virginia, & Washington DC for an additional fee.

Will you photoshop me?

I will lightly edit non-permanent marks (like scratches, redness, bruises, etc) but I do not do body modification under any circumstances.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! I offer flexible, in-house payment plans up to 6 months.

“My shooting experience with Melissa has been nothing short of amazing. This woman is transforming boudoir photography in an authentic-not overly sexualized way. And WE LOVE THAT FOR US!

Thanks for being a bombshell in making more women comfortable with who they are on and off camera.

As a photographer myself, I’ve never felt comfortable being anything but behind the camera but Melissa’s energy instantly made me feel beautiful and confident. She captured me as myself, and I was blown away by how perfect the pictures came out! Melissa was able to capture sensual photos of me & I couldn’t have been more comfortable with anyone else!
