I'm Melissa Mayrie, the girl behind the lens. My middle name pays tribute to both of my grandmothers whose middle names were May and Marie. I love that my mom was so thoughtful when creating that name just for me!

I'm a northern girl settled into my southern home, where I've grown accustomed to strange looks when I order my tea unsweet, yet have found myself tossing around a y'all every now and again. Life brought me to North Carolina thirteen years ago for my first career as a biology professor which thankfully led me to my husband Cory, one of those rare Charlottean natives, along the way. We have the two most precious preschoolers, Margaret & Harrison, whom are the loves of our lives!

Hi there, it's so nice to meet you!

It's me, Melissa!

I was in your shoes not too long ago (well, 7 years to be exact!) and I remember how important it was for me to have the right photographer by my side. Not just to deliver bright and dreamy photos, but someone that made me and my husband feel like ourselves in front of the camera. Someone who could capture all the little details and big emotions. Those things matter and I'm here to do the same for you.
