Melissa was a complete professional during our entire interaction. She had a speaker to put on my kiddo's favorite music and managed to capture gorgeous images even when my kids were wrestling one another. I left almost in tears feeling my kids had been such a struggle to get to smile or cooperate but was then in tears of joy to get our images - gorgeous every one! I can't wait to receive our prints to hang throughout our home.
I cannot express enough how phenomenal the photos from Melissa De Vera Photography are. My jaw drops every time I see her finished work! She is so fun to work with, you will not be disappointed
Melissa De Vera Photography has blown me away with her attention to detail not only during the session but after. She is easy to work with and is always clear with directions and instructions on how to make the photo shoot fun and effortless the day of! I highly recommend using Melissa to capture your special moments.
We just finished our family session with Melissa & team, and we had a wonderful time. From the beginning of our session planning via zoom, she helped with outfit selections & let us know what to expect and how to prepare. Her makeup artist was fabulous & had us ladies looking amazing for our photo shoot. Our session itself was energetic & fun. We can’t wait to see the edited images. Definitely a 5 star rating from the Long Family.
Melissa did a great job with our family portraits. She gave us good choices of venues, was flexible with her schedule based on the weather, told us all exactly what to expect, and was amazing dealing with my often uncooperative teens. She kept a great positive attitude and sense of humor throughout the shoot. Most importantly, the photos are fantastic. Your family photos are in good hands.
Melissa is a very patient, sweet and personable photographer . She captured the unspoken beauty of our daughter. Her photos are age appropriate and always filled with style and grace. She is able to bring out the playful side to capture the child like qualities and the serious side showing the mature young woman our daughter has become, all while making it so much fun . An outstanding photography service.
Melissa was wonderful when it was time for our family portraits. She was very professional, patient, and kind. She did a wonderful job capturing us as a family including our two dogs. She is a great communicator and worked with us very well throughout the whole process and even asked us for our ideas and opinions. She was especially patient with my two dogs who are somewhat hardheaded and captured them beautifully. Even with our session being right after a rain and it being very gloomy outside the pictures showed the total opposite and you never would’ve thought that it was a gloomy day. A true professional and wonderful photographer. I would highly recommend.
We used Melissa for our family photos. It had been several years since we had them done. So we were very pleased with our experience with Melissa and the photos she took of our family.
Melissa is a true professional who puts so much time and effort into the shoot and takes amazing pictures that will be treasured. She is very easy to work with and has a great eye of how to bring together a photo shoot. I would highly recommend Melissa for your photography needs.
We loved our experience with Melissa DeVera Photography for our family photo shoot. Having 5 kids with a huge age range can sometimes make it difficult to get a nice group photo. Melissa was patient and kind. The photos came out beautifully and really captured each of my kids’ personalities.
Melissa is a gifted photographer, talented with a vision that comes to life in her photos! Her work is impressive and you are sure to be pleased!
We absolutely love the photos she took for our daughter’s senior pictures. I really enjoyed the planning aspect prior to the shoot because it helped her know what Mackenzie wanted. And it helped us pick great outfits. We ended up with so many amazing photos which meant we had a hard time choosing the ones we loved best…although this was not a bad problem to have! We can’t wait for our upcoming family shoot we have planned!!

Melissa’s photos are breathtaking. She has such an artistic eye for composition and styling. You will not be disappointed with your images.
Melissa is a true professional not only in terms of the quality of her work but also in how she makes her clients feel comfortable. She took the extra time in preparation for the photo shoot to ensure our outfits would coordinate and provided us with resources to help guide us. Not only did our pictures turn out great, but my family and I also had a great time during the photo session. My family and I would highly recommend Melissa’s services to anyone looking to get great family pics.
Melissa is so personable and sweet! She was readily available to answer questions and guide me through the entire process. She provided suggestions for outfits, accessories and poses!! She gave a few easy tips for makeup as well. We have a family of six with four children ranging from 16-2 years old and she was even equipped with bubbles to re-engage my 2 year old when she starting getting a bit antsy! (GENIUS!) I would highly recommend using her if you're looking for quality pictures and a smooth session.
I can confidently say Melissa has restored my faith in photographers and reminded me there are still AMAZING ones out there that truly have a passion for capturing moments to be cherished for a lifetime!!!
From the first interview, Melissa was extremely personable and created a comfortable environment that allowed Ali to be completely stress-free. Her genuine nature was evident, especially when she emphasized her love for her work, and the want to fully understand Ali's personality and individuality. Senior pictures can be very nerve racking, and Melissa's charismatic personality was eye-opening and I felt it increased the overall enjoyability of the shoot. I am extremely happy with our decision to have Melissa take Ali's senior pictures and I would strongly encourage others to do the same.
We found Melissa after an exhausting search and let down of a previous appointment for our daughters senior 2021 school year photo shoot.
She was super easy to work with from the very beginning. Right away was very communicative in from setting up a meeting. Talking to my daughter and caring about what she wanted, expectations of the session, cost, options, and so much more. She stayed in constant contact with text if my daughter or I had questions. And the day of the photo shoot was a breeze. To see my daughter really light up and enjoy herself was in itself the highlight of my day. Melissa made her feel absolutely amazing and the beautiful pictures she took of her will be memories to last a lifetime. You truly did outstanding job. I not only recommend he but intend on using her again for my son’s senior photos and our family photos.

Had our second appointment with Melissa De Vera Photography this weekend. She is so helpful throughout the process - answered all questions quickly and helped with clothing recommendations when we asked. Saw a couple of images in the camera and she worked her magic again! Can't wait to see the whole gallery! Thanks Melissa!
Melissa was the perfect photographer for my daughters senior photo shoot. She met with us several weeks in advance, to get to know us and get a feel for the types of pictures we were looking for. Then, she highly recommended professional makeup for the session. I was hesitant, but went ahead and did as she suggested by booking a makeup artist. Melissa also offered accessories and made sure we had everything we needed for our shoot. We ended up borrowing a few of her pieces to finish off the total look. Melissa was nothing but patient, and thought of everything. Our pictures turned out more beautiful than we had even imagined they’d be. To be honest, they are priceless. We cried, we were overjoyed. Five Stars for Melissa!!!
Melissa is extremely professional and a joy to work with. She truly takes into account your style and vision while using her creative expertise to create an amazing result! Of course the photos always come out phenomenal, but I also valued how memorable she makes the actual photo session. She took the time to make me feel confident in front of the camera and she was so fantastic with our four year old son! She really made him comfortable and he still talks about our photoshoots with her! I highly recommend Melissa for your photography needs!
"Melissa was amazing to work with. Right off the bat she made me feel comfortable. I am an introvert and kind of awkward especially when a camera is in my face, but she made me feel at ease and like we could just hang out and take some amazing photos! I recently got some photos back and they are amazing, she made me look absolutely gorgeous, stylish and professional for my new company's headshots. I will definitely work with her again. "
