Hello!
My name is Melissa I'm a Nebraska native and the owner of Lively Photography. I’m wife to my love Cedric and momma to three sweet souls Oakley, Coral, and Orion. I’ve been doing photography for 9 years and in my work I strive to capture connection and emotion. I want my clients to know your images from me will not all be perfectly posed, I want to capture your real moments too, as you are. I want your kids to have fun and be wild, I want you to feel comfortable and be yourselves. I want to capture your love for each other in those in between moments. There’s no pressure to sit still and smile, the time we spend capturing should be fun!
I have a slight nature obsession (note my kids names lol) so I love to work in beautiful places preferably around sunset, but I adore the studio too.
As an artist I’m continuously inspired & my aim is to touch the hearts of those I work with so they have photos to cherish and pass on.
I'm grateful to be doing something I love, my passion for photography came from a honest place where my love for creating blossomed. I'm proud to say this little business is my dream come true and I’m happy you are here reading & I hope to work with you!
