Hi, thanks for checking out my website and a little bit more about me.
I'm Melissa Starr Brandel of Melissa Starr Portraiture & Fine Art. My studio is located on beautiful family property in Hemlock, less than 10 minutes from the Shields area.
I have four beautiful babies with my wonderful husband, David. Together we have three girls and our one and only little guy, ranging in ages from 24 to 9.
Photography has always been my passion for as long as I can remember. My passion turned into a love as my children were born and growing, way too quickly!!
Besides a true love for photography. I was a graphic designer - Designs by Melissa Starr, for a decade, designing for clients around the globe.
I'll proudly share that I'm a former dancer and cheerleader, and have been a dance mom for nearly twenty years. All three of my girls have competed with our second family, EDA (Extreme Dance Arts).
Dance, and even Pom, have been an important part of our lives for many, many years.
Within our dance studio I started photographing yearly pictures and fell in love with dance on an entirely new artistic level.
Admittedly, my absolute favorite sessions to shoot are any type of portrait or glam session. Whether it's a senior session, dance, maternity or boudoir. Add in some movement with fabric, a beautiful jump or even a little spin; and my heart is overflowing.
My love for child and family photography starts with the wonder of what's going to happen next, and that's usually when the magic happens. While I always strive for perfectly posed images, capturing the love, laughter and connection that makes your family, your family - My goal with each and every session♥
