My Journey Into Professional Photography

Hello everyone, my name is Melissa Knapp. Due to being a daughter of a retired military father, I grew up in many areas. My father was passionate about photography and taking as many pictures as he could wherever we went and the local landscape and scenery. I was basically born with a camera in my hand as I was influenced by his passion.

While earning a living as a law enforcement officer for over 18 years, my passion for photography never dissipated and it only grew. I was more inspired by capturing moments in time with people and experiences. The ability to revisit specific moments and feelings with loved ones while looking at pictures is what inspired me to pursue professional photography. I wanted to be able to provide other people with those same things.

It has become my passion to use my creativity and photography to be able to capture life’s special moments for other people. From the journey of maternity and newborn events to future momentous family milestones, it is my passion to preserve those memories for other people to revisit at any time.
