Hey! I'm Melissa Toye, Mel, or Miss. I'm the one who gets really excited about the little things, laughs a little too hard (is that a thing?), and the one who’s always up for an adventure.

  • I’m silly, probably talk too much, and swear more than I should (although not around your kiddos)

  • I met my husband in 2005, and we’ve been married since 2012. That’s a long ass time!

  • I'm a mom to two amazing and hilarious kiddos, 18 months apart.

  • I’m an Enneagram 7 with a side of 2. If you haven’t taken a personality test I encourage you to try. It’s scarily accurate.

  • I’m a country kid born and raised.

This is your adventure, I’m here to document it.

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding that Melissa photographed and she was absolutely fantastic. Very professional, fun, and took amazing photos! I highly recommend working with her!

I have now done two shoots with Melissa both being newborn lifestyle. I cannot say enough good things about her! From beginning to end it is such a great experience. She is so welcoming and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I am so in love with the photos I have forever now. They are so natural and don't look or feel stiff. I cannot wait to do more shoots in the future with our family.
