My name is Melissa Tapper.  I have loved taking photos since I was young.  I took my first photography class in high school.  Then I turned my hobby into a business in 2008 after starting my career in education.  I am a 8th grade math teacher, math coach, and photographer.   My family is a big part of my business.  My husband has been a second shooter and incredible supporter for me.  My three sons are a joy to photography and my oldest son enjoys helping me set up my studio for photography sessions.  While my middle child, helps me get kids to smile for me when they are around.



When I am not behind the camera, I am spending time with family and friends.  I play sand volleyball, go for walks with my family, and workout.  I love bike rides and crafts with my kids.  I love date nights with my husband, even if it just a movie at home.  I learn something new everyday.  I laugh a lot, smile even more, and enjoy life.

​

I specialize in taking photos of newborns, children, families, and high school seniors.  I have a studio in my home with several fun backgrounds and props.  I love to take photos outside when the weather is nice, travel to fun locations, and come to your home.  It is my passion to capture your family's personality and have fun while we are together!
