I am not a person who is normally comfortable with getting my photo taken but decided to push myself to get more photos for my house and instagram. I confided in Melissa about my self-consciousness and she went above and beyond to put me at ease. She really worked with me to make sure that I felt like my best, most beautiful self in all the photos. She also made it a point to show more than my body in the photos, but rather my personality And my interests. I never thought that photos could show who I am on the inside until I worked with Melissa. Melissa is a fantastic artist but, more importantly for me, she is also a safe space. I would highly recommend her to anyone who asked.
