“Think of all the beauty still left around you, and be happy.”
- Anne Frank

Welcome to Left of The Middle Photography!

Hello, and thank you for visiting us—we’re so happy you’re here!

I’m Melissa, and while I mostly shoot solo, I’m fortunate to have an incredible team of photographers who join me when I need a second pair of hands. Together, we’re all about creating a seamless, enjoyable experience from start to finish.

During your event, you want a photographer who will not only deliver gorgeous images but also truly care about your journey. Our mission is to make people feel beautiful, and it would be our privilege to capture your natural, joyful moments.

People often ask me (Melissa) how I came up with the name ‘Left of The Middle.’ Well, I’m one of the lucky 10% who’s left-handed—yep, the one who smudged ink all through school and struggled with right-handed can openers! In photography, ‘left of the middle’ also refers to a creative choice we often make by placing subjects off-center to tell a more compelling visual story.

We photograph everything from weddings and portraits to landscapes, events, and just plain fun! Our passion lies in working with each client to create a one-of-a-kind session that’s perfectly tailored to your vision.

We can’t wait to meet you, tell your story, and create joyful photos that feel uniquely you!
