As a photographer I desire more than anything to capture the unique beauty and personality of the people I meet. I look at it as an opportunity to bless them with photographs they can enjoy for the rest of their lives. It is such a joy to be able to do this for a living. I can't imagine anything being more exciting! -Melissa Joy Ellyson

Where to start! I moved up to Watertown 10 months ago after getting married to an amazing man named Joe! Then, with much encouragement from my husband, I started my own studio! I've had a passion for photography as long as I can remember.
I used to sit in the darkroom with my dad for hours as he printed his black and whites. Then, as I grew up I was able to tag along to countless weddings, proms, and many other sessions. He taught me what it means to put people above yourself, and how to love your job while doing it! I also had the unique opportunity to learn graphics from my amazing mother!! They are two of a kind. With much patience they've formed who I am today. Thanks mom and dad!!
