About Melyssa | Melyssa Ann Photography

you can call me Mel.

friend, wife, momma, photographer

Some people spell my name wrong, so you can just call me Mel!

I’m laid-back and superrrrr passionate about love.

I’m a wedding, elopement, AND portrait photographer as well as an illustrator based in Ohio! I was born in a small town in Illionis but then moved to Ohio where I grew up. I'm one of FOUR sisters.. so life was pretty fun/eventful growing up.

I'm married to my best friend, Tyler, who I met at church (best way to find your soulmate.... am I right??!) and we have a precious daughter, Leilani.. but Lani for short, who's literally a split image of me.

Hey there,

I'm Melyssa!

I'M ALL ABOUT

Life in community

Re-watching New Girl

Peanut butter sandwiches

Taking long walks through Target

Traveling to new places

Re-decorating our house with new finds from Hobby Lobby

1. I'm a Christian -- raised Baptist, but now more Non-Denominational -- and find such peace & joy in continually seeking to grow my relationship with Jesus.

2. I love alllll things lavender. FAVORITE SCENT BY FAR!

3. I'm obsessed with romantic comedies & hallmark movies -- yes, I'm THAT girl. There ain't nothin but love can't fix <3

4. Target runs are a necessity.. Even when I'm supposed to be getting just one thing like toilet paper or toothpaste I always leave the store with many things I might not really need.

5. I'm a lover of homemade tacos (or any kind of tacos, lets be real). I eat, breathe, sleep tacos.. haha JK! But really, let's go grab some margarita's and some tacos -- I'd LOVE to meet YOU!

Now that we're friends, I'll let you in on five facts that make me, ME!
