"We've tried many photographers before, but never came close to the artistry and talent of Melissa. From family photos to intimate memories, we couldn't be happier with the results we get from Lifeshots. We're hooked!" - Ashley Farrell, St. Joseph, MO

"Melissa captured the beauty of the family farm and the beauty of a beautiful fall day! She took casual and natural pictures...which was just what I was looking for. She is not just a photographer posing people, she is an artist who takes into consideration everything around to make truly unique and wonderful memories. Melissa captured the true joy in our day!" - Alexandra & Jared Gallagher, Maryville, MO

"Melissa made us feel as comfortable as a close family member as she took our family photos. She really cares to get the shots right, without being pushy or overbearing, and she really captured the personalities of our family! I've never been happier with any family photos I've EVER had taken. My Facebook photo is one of hers and I've never gotten more compliments on a photo of me!!! Thanks for making us look great, Melissa!" - LuAnn Cadden, St. Joseph, MO

"Working with Lifeshots was a very comfortable experience. Melissa put us at ease right away and was respectful of our interests and concerns. She used that information to make decisions about the best photographs for our needs. We weren't rushed--Melissa had a relaxed and thoughtful approach to the session. We didn't feel like props but like collaborators. The photographs were great: not artificial but natural. We would recommend Lifeshots to anyone." - Mike Cadden, St. Joseph, MO

"I have used Melissa many times now for pictures of my children and I will never use anyone else. I had given up on getting pictures of my oldest because she was a "little" uncooperative (that's putting it mildly)....but I decided to give it one more shot based on a recommendation from my sister in law and I'm so glad I did! My oldest walked in and within about two minutes she had given Melissa a hug. Needless to say, I about fell over as she just wasnt that kind of kid, but Melissa got some of the most beautiful shots that day and I've used her ever since. I literally get tears in my eyes when I watch the proof slideshows on her website! I wish I could watch them forever! Hopefully one day she will photograph my girls weddings! So, I guess, in a nutshell, if you are looking for not just a "photographer" but an artist as well, then Melissa is your gal!" - Jeannie Jones, Cosby, MO

"Melissa is absolutely amazing. I have never imagined such amazing engagement photos and wedding photos. She is always professional, unique, and great to work with. Thanks Melissa for sharing with us your amazing gift of photography!" - Marci & Samson Bien-Aimé, Kansas City, MO

"Melissa does an AMAZING job connecting with my child. She took his first professional photos at 4 months. The photos were AMAZING. Since then, Melissa has taken large group photos of our family and individual family shots both inside and outside. We love her profressional attitude and amazing photographs!" - Tara Stuart, Stewartsville, MO

"Melissa has done several shoots with our family. From Christmas cards, to birthdays, to maternity shoots! They always turn out perfect and better than I could have ever imagined! I love that she is patient with us (with 5 kids, you have to be!) and makes us feel comfortable! I would reccomend her to anyone!" - Heidi DeSchepper, St. Joseph, MO

"Melissa went above and beyond what I expected! My senior portraits were amazing and I recommend her to everyone!" - Eric Petty, St. Joseph, MO
