My name is Melissa Tapper. I have been taking photos since I was young. I took my first photography class in high school. Then I turned my hobby into a business in 2008 after starting my career in education. I am a 6th grade math teacher and photographer. My family is a big part of my business. My husband has been a second shooter and incredible supporter for me. My son enjoys helping me set up my studio for photography sessions.  When I am not behind the camera, I am spending time with family and friends. I play sand volleyball, take walks in the park, and workout. I love bike rides and crafts with my son. I love date nights with my husband, even if it just a movie at home. I learn something new everyday. I laugh a lot, smile even more, and enjoy life. I specialize in taking photos of newborns, children, families, and high school seniors. I have a studio in my home with several fun backgrounds. I love to take photos outside when the weather is nice, travel to fun locations, and come to your home. It is my passion to capture your family's personality and have fun while we are together!
