"'Melissa is incredible! 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! I have done boudoir sessions before and I felt out of my skin and comfort zone, being posed as a playboy model. Melissa was able to capture sensual photos of me, in my skin and I couldn’t have been more comfortable with anyone else!"
