Melissa was very professional AND fun to work with at the same time! She was extremely personable and makes you feel comfortable right away! I would recommend her to anyone in the Southern California area, hands down. Thank you so much Melissa!

I had such a wonderful experience! Melissa was great with helping me through the entire process from outfits & skin prep to posing. I was so nervous & she made my me feel so comfortable. I had so much fun at my photo session! I recommended her to all my friends. Loved her studio!

My session with Melissa was amazing and easy going. Melissa helped me with the poses and capture me in a good way. This experience was a boost in my confidence. So fun!

This was such an amazing experience and completely out of my comfort zone but Melissa made my session comfortable and fun. The photos came out so phenomenal that I couldn’t believe that was me on the pictures. So trust me on this if you are wanting an amazing photographer Melissa Joy Portraits is it.

Melissa never disappoints! She has such a great eye for composition, color , and light! She made me look 20 years younger, and my husband loved the photos. It was a great gift for him. You can trust Melissa to make you look beautiful.

Melissa brought my vision to life. My Fiancé' is a huge dirt bike, motorcycle, and car person. He has dirt biked since he was young and after going on a trip with him and learning, I knew I needed to incorporate this into my boudoir session. Melissa made it happen.

Melissa brought my vision to life. My Fiancé' is a huge dirt bike, motorcycle, and car person. He has dirt biked since he was young and after going on a trip with him and learning, I knew I needed to incorporate this into my boudoir session. Melissa made it happen. This was such a difficult request and I got turned away from a few different photographers. But not her! We got sexy photos on a dirt bike, beautiful sunrise beach shots, and some studio shots with a veil! My Fiancé is going to die. The whole time Melissa remained confident and professional while guiding me through poses. The locations she chose were perfect. And her studio!! It is a beautiful private space. Highly recommend booking with her for any studio boudoir, maternity, or something for just you photoshoot. You should be so proud of yourself Melissa!! Amazing work! -Amanda Weyhrauch Less

Beautiful images! Love her work!!

Absolutely love all of the photos Melissa has taken for me and my family. She knows how to capture all of the right angles and always delivers beautiful results.

Melissa is a true artist and very professional. Her portraits works of art. Highly recommend.

Melissa's experience, professionalism, and attention to detail set her apart from other photographers I've looked at. She is a true artist and goes above and beyond to deliver breathtaking photography as well as beautiful high end products!

Melissa has been absolutely amazing throughout the entire process of the shoot from the initial meeting, to helping me decide which package was the best fit for my needs and budget.

Melissa has been absolutely amazing throughout the entire process of the shoot from the initial meeting, to helping me decide which package was the best fit for my needs and budget. She was so sweet and supportive in helping me find outfits and poses that would make me someone who is usually super awkward in front of the camera feel beautiful. The final quality of her work which I purchased the book and metal print is insane I cant get over how high quality and beautiful the products are they feel like a piece of art in our bedroom I couldn't recommend her business more I am so thankful I was able to find her business as wedding gift for my husband and can't wait for another significant event so I can go back.
