Working alongside Melissa to craft her portrait photographs was an absolute delight. As an interior designer with a deep passion for classic St. Louis architecture, Melissa's love for beautiful aesthetics and pleasing compositions was truly inspiring.

We decided on a few great locations in St. Louis’s iconic Forest Park, including the iconic Muny, the picturesque Pagoda Circle, and the stunning classic Vandeventer Gates. Each spot provided a unique backdrop that perfectly complemented Melissa's sophisticated style and love for elegant design.

One of the most exciting parts of our collaboration was when Melissa mentioned that she planned to have one of the portraits painted by an oil painter. The thought of our work together being transformed into a timeless piece of art was truly humbling, and I can't wait to see the final result!
