More about Melissa T....
What do you love about your job?
I enjoy capturing moments. I believe events live on through their images, and I enjoy creating and documenting important moments. I am humbled when someone choses me for this important job.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I enjoy shooting events and portraiture. Events because I get to be that fly on the wall where I'm tasked with capturing real life and all its happenings. Portraiture because I get to focus on an individual and capture them in the here and now. All very exciting to me.
