“Photography is a way of feeling,         

                     of touching, of loving.                   

What you have caught on film is captured forever

                it remembers little things,                

     long after you have forgotten everything.”    

My name is

 Melissa Andrews 

Wife, Mom, Office Manager, and Photographer!

I was born and raised in the NEPA area and I’m proud to call it my home. I was always known to be the one snapping pictures at family get togethers and events. I loved capturing the memories and being able to look back at pictures and remember the moments and how I felt.

I started out my photography journey on digital point and shoot cameras. I happily remember our family having a camera and spending so much time taking pictures of everything, myself, our family pets, and nature. Not much of my photography interests have changed, but I did upgrade my camera and skills a lot since those days.

I got an older model DSLR camera second hand thanks to someone upgrading their set up and I loved using it on auto mode. I was able to better capture the moments that were important to me.

After that I decided to get serious about photography and learn what my camera could do. I’ve been on my photography journey since as long as I can remember, but this was my first step into becoming a professional photographer.

I’ve invested countless hours of my time and spent money upgrading my gear to be able to better capture photographs that match my vision.

I’ve spent plenty of time working with my equipment and honing my skills.

My formal training includes the Basic DSLR photography course at LCCC in April of 2022 and the full semester Digital Photography course at Keystone College in Spring of 2023.

In June 2024, I traveled to Boston to participate in the FlashGear.net Off Camera Flash seminar.

Which included hands on teaching by photographers on using off camera flash both indoors and outdoors.

As a photographer, I'm privileged to witness and preserve moments that make life beautiful. I believe that every photo has the power to evoke emotions and transport us back to cherished moments.

Specializing in portrait photography, I thrive on capturing the genuine emotions, fleeting glances, and subtle nuances that define the human experience.

Whether it's a heartfelt family portrait, a breathtaking landscape, or a vibrant event, I approach each session with creativity, professionalism, and a deep reverence for the art of storytelling.
