Melissa has a social media presence, however; she does respect the right to privacy. Sneak peaks are available after sessions and Melissa will always ask if you would like images posted to Social Media. If you do not want images posted publicity please mention at your session. Melissa is very careful about her work and rarely shows nude or personal images unless it has been pre-approved by the subjects.
