Natural, candid and connection-driven photography that tells the story of your family; just as you are, right now.

Charleston Family & Birth Photographer

Real Moments. Real Memories. 


As a mom of three young kids, I see the love you share. And the reality of life with kids. The laughter, tears, tantrums and everything else in between. 
I passionately believe in making motherhood memorable through photographs and my goal as a photographer is to capture the real, raw and unscripted essence of your family. My sessions are relaxed, playful, and rooted in connection.

Based in Charleston, SC, I am licensed & insured and serve families who want their real life captured in all its beautiful chaos. I would be honored to play a part in telling your story and I can't wait to meet you!

I cannot sing praises high enough for Melis! She is wonderful and so talented. She has the best presence and works so well with little ones. This is our second shoot with her and I am in awe of the photos!
