Welcome to melissaogara.photography!
My photography is about highlighting the inner beauty I find in each of my clients and to capture feelings that we want to remember. Each photograph tells the story, emotion, and meaning of the moment or the day.
MEET THE PERSON BEHIND THE LENS
Hey there! I'm Melissa.
My love for photography started when I was traveling through Peru as an exchange student. I wanted to capture everything so I could always remember how I felt, what I saw, and most of all, the people around me. When my kids were born, time seemed to speed up in a way I never imagined. I wanted to stop time - or pause it so that I could savor each stage of my kids' lives. As I did in Peru, I turned to a camera. I started taking pictures of the every day - of feelings rather than posed pictures.
As Featured In
Photography is like poetry, only visual. There are so many stories and meanings one picture can portray, it all depends on who's looking at the photo and whether they are paying enough attention.
My goal is to capture you - in the moments that make your life story so special
