WELCOME to THE LIGHTHOUSE photography
CAPTURING the BEAUTY of LIFE & LOVE
Time moves quickly and it’s easy to let the magic of everyday moments flow by. Let’s capture & preserve the intimate and treasured memories of you and those you love most at your most vulnerable, joyful and everything in-between.
I’m a free-spirited creative & dance teacher-turned photographer based in southwestern Ontario, ready to help you share your story.
If you‘re willing to venture through a forest, get a little muddy or take a dip in the lake (even when it's definitely colder than I told you it was) we might just be the perfect match. I'm all about capturing those natural, candid moments that create our everyday.
Whether you're looking for a couple, maternity, newborn, family or wedding photographer, I am here to guide you through the entire process.
I can’t wait to hear about your vision. Let's create some magic!

I saw Melissa's photos online and immediately fell in love with her work. The photos she captured for both my maternity and newborn session are memories I will have for a lifetime. Melissa is a professional dedicated photographer, who not only takes wonderful photos, but creates a stress free environment that brings out the best in her clients.

Melissa was wonderful to work with. Even though I'd never met her before, I felt immediately at ease with her. She made me feel comfortable to try different things and I feel like she really captured my essence in the photos she took. I hope to work with her again.
