Oklahoma Photographer

I'm Mel, an Oklahoma photographer that has been documenting love stories, growing families, + so many other stages of life for over 7 years all over the U.S.

I specialize in documenting our time together in a way that feels more like hanging out, a fun evening with your fam, creating memories that leave a legacy.

If you are looking for cookie cutter everyone smiling at the camera perfectly posed, I am going to be honest, I am probably not the gal for you.

If you are craving photos you can feel, the ones you'll flip through in an album 30 years from now + will bring a tear to your eye remembering how happy yall were in those very moments, you have found yourself in the right place.

your Oklahoma photographer

I am here to help make your session intentional + unforgettable

Whether we are bouncin through the pasture in your old first gen or scaling the red dirt mesas to a mountaintop view, we will document this season in a way that feels true to you.

Family Photos

I am here to help make your okc wedding intentional + unforgettable

Maternity + Newborn

Seniors + portraits

No more dreading family photos. Picture an evening with your kiddos running around picking you flowers, your husband kicking his boots up when all of a sudden, GROUP HUG! Blowing bubbles, playing tag, fishing, ridin horseback. Sound a lot better than stiff posed photos? I thought so too.

Maternity + newborn sessions don't have to go together. Some people opt for one or the other or both! Think: a date night with your hunny before welcoming a new member to your fam + then a relaxed morning full of baby snuggles + quiet moments.

Want your photos to not look like everyone else's and actually feel like they represent you? Let's dream up the vision for your session and then make it come to life together.

- Macoubrie Fam

"Melissa has taken my family pictures for years now. Her photography is a not a side gig or hobby for her, she a true professional. Sneak peeks pics and full gallery were sent on time and easy to access. She was so patient with the kids (and even my husband said he had fun!).

The day we took photos ended being cloudy with hardly any “golden hour” magic. You never would have known in our gallery. Melissa knew exactly what to do. You won’t regret hiring turquoise lens!"
