About

With years of experience capturing life and emotion in pictures, I crave the sound of the shutter snapping a memory that will now last a life time. I started Lifeshots in 2008. My goal with each session is to remember the passion, emotion, generation and reason of that moment. The most important thing to me, aside from producing beautiful quality images, are the relationships that are shown through them. It is also important to me to form good relationships with my clients, especially the kiddos, because trust goes a long way to open people up to genuine images. I can't wait to capture you and your family!

A Kansas native, born in 1985, turned Missouri gal, I graduated from Central High School in 2003, and received a BA from Missouri Western State University in 2007. Currently, I live in St. Joseph, with my husband, Paul. We enjoy evenings at The K watching our boys in blue, time spent with our beloved nieces and nephews, and late night episodes of M*A*S*H. Lifeshots has allowed me to create and capture images on that professional level - challenging me to step outside of myself to feel the emotional connection between the subject and the moment. After all, it's your life... and your photos.

Melissa did an awesome job with us for our engagement shoot and our wedding photos. I love the photos from our wedding and know it will be difficult to pick what ones we want printed. The price was exceptionally reasonable for the beauty of the pics. She has been/was so helpful throughout the whole process. Very kind, understanding and professional. I absolutely loved my experience with Lifeshots :)

Melissa with Lifeshots Photography did an extraordinary job on our wedding photographs. She really captured every moment for us. My husband and I often look back on our pictures to remember a lot of that day. Unfortunately, your wedding day goes by so fast it is difficult to remember every detail, intimately. However, Melissa at Lifeshots was able to do that for us. So, we can relive that day all of the time, just by viewing our wedding album. Our pictures are of amazing quality and I am extremely glad that we chose her as our wedding photographer!
