THE

EXPERIENCE

My Process

Portrait sessions are an investment-- I completely understand! But they're so worth it, especially as the years pass all too quickly, and so much can change... even in a single year. Just know that I personally tailor each session to my clients; I will cater to your specific vision, and I'll collaborate with you for the perfect outfits and location to make your session exactly what you dream it to be!

 

Beauty sessions, whether indoor or outdoor, make the perfect Wedding, Anniversary, Valentine's or "Just Because" gifts-- and they are often a huge confidence builder to just do for yourself, too! With every session, I will guide you through it, making it as comfortable as possible for you.

 

Whether it's to celebrate a huge milestone in your life, your annual family photos, or to indulge yourself with a Beauty session-- I am here to serve you and what you are looking for me to document! It is always my goal to capture the most natural, authentic moments, interactions and expressions. If you think we would be a good fit, I'd love to hear from you!

A special Keepsake

My beauty session with Melissa was nothing short of amazing. Melissa has a gentle spirit and was able to make me feel not only comfortable and at ease, but special and beautiful during the session. As all of my experiences with Melissa's photography work, the photos turned out amazing and are a special keepsake for my husband and I.

YOUR QUESTIONS

How Can I Pay for my session?

I accept cash, credit and checks made payable to Melissa Knott. The quickest and easiest form of payment to secure your session date and time is by credit card, however, if you pay by credit card, there is a small processing fee. No date is reserved without payment in full within 48 hours.

How and When Can we expect the images?

All images are delivered through an exclusive online gallery that can be easily shared with friends and family. You can expect to receive your Gallery within 2 weeks after the session!

what do I wear?

I have several helpful "What to Wear" boards linked on my Pinterest for clients to reference! This will help with outfit and color coordination, as well as patterns vs. solids. Click on the Pinterest icon anywhere on my website to view each board!

How far in advance should I schedule?

I usually book 2-3 months in advance, depending on the Season! Fall is definitely the busiest with families wanting photos for Christmas :) The sooner, the better to get first pick at your a date and time that works best for you!

Do you offer mini sessions?

I do offer Mini sessions for $300 which includes 30 minutes and 35+ digital images. However, most of my clients book a 1 hour session because it has more value with even more images :)
