Serving Newborns, Children, Seniors and Families

in port angeles, sequim and surrounding areas

I've got you, mama!
Let me take your worry, and give you a comfortable experience and captured moments.

Welcome to my website. I'm Melissa Adams! I am a Baby & Family Portrait Photographer serving Port Angeles & surrounding areas. I photograph newborns, babies, children, seniors & their families at various stages of life. I’m so glad to share my vision with you and capture the moment that means so much to you before it passes.

About

I am a blessed wife and homeschool mama to 3 precious people that will always be my babies. My love for photography has been around a long time as I have always appreciated the beauty of God’s world around me. But my passion for portrait photography grew many years ago with the birth of my first child as I took every opportunity to capture this amazing beauty I saw with my mommy eyes. I have spent over 20 years photographing my own family, extended family, old friends & new friends and I can't wait to meet your family and help you preserve these special memories, too! 

Meet Meli

I am a mama just like you! I know the ache and joy that exists simultaneously in your heart as you watch your babies grow, learn and love. I am filled with so much gratitude and sentiment as I go through old photos and reminisce on moments and days I had forgotten. Photos, whether in a beautiful album or framed for all to see on your wall, allow us to enjoy our moments we’re living now and appreciate & remember the moments that have passed. I promise to give you a comfortable experience as I capture your special moment. I don’t want you to worry about the behavior of your babies at all! All moods make adorable portraits :-) I want you to enjoy the time together and know that I’ve got the moment captured! I can’t wait to meet you!

Rose Whitney

Wonderful awesome experience! We have had two sessions so far, and both have turned out beautiful! Very kind, professional, and welcoming! Definitely would recommend!!

Mike & Erin Ewing

Meli's so kind and was easy to talk to when discussing some ideas back and forth. On the day of our session she was very flexible and never made us feel rushed or put out when our toddler decided to have different plans on how the shoot would go. We love the photos we received and felt her price was very fair for the amount of files we got to keep. I would definitely recommend hiring Meli for your newborn photos.

DJ Wilson

The whole thing was so much fun! I’ll definitely be doing pictures with you again if I need them.

Lindsey Tollefson

Meli is a wonderful photographer!  She has an amazing ability to capture great images. Biggest problem is finding more wall space! They're all so good, I hate to replace them with updated photos. 

Christine Cosmez

Melissa does such an awesome job taking photographs. She brings out the best in each person! I have her photos all over my refrigerator - they make me smile every time I see them.

We love Meli!
We have a little guy & she took her time with him and waited for him to be ready for her to get precious pictures of him.

Rima Edmonds

Our experience with Meli was a great one. She took the time to get to know our son and make him feel comfortable. She took a number of different poses and styles and she made it fun. The photos turned out beautiful and they were affordable.

Rachel Millhollin

Extremely professional. Her communication with me was great. We LOVED the outdoor pictures of our daughter and cannot wait to share them. Highly recommended!!

To "Capture" means, to take and hold as a prisoner.
I chose this definition to be my favorite to define this art that is my passion because photos are the one thing that allow us to cheat time that is so quickly fleeting. Make sure you capture these beautiful, precious moments before they are gone!
