Hello, I am Melissa.

-I am the Owner and Lead Photographer behind Glitter and Gold Imagery. I am a wife, to a retired Navy man, mother to 4, and a grandmother to 1 energetic Dolly. I am a fur mom to a fat orange tabby (Odie), one very diva cranky ragdoll cat (Bellatrix LeStrange), our little demon void kitten (Jasper), one very hyper pittie mix rescue (Naveah), one cow patterned boxer rescue (Harley), and a Pembroke Welsh corgi (Isabella Luna). Myself and my husband are just settling into our first home and are ready to spend our remaining days in the Oklahoma sunshine - where I will get to shoot all my Midwestern dreams. I am obsessed with glitter and all things fantasy. I love to shoot and inspire others. I especially love showing women their most beautiful side, the one they hid or misplaced. The pure joy I see on their faces when they get their images back always brings me to tears of joy. It really is the best part of what myself and any other creative does. I was always one who believed in the old adage, "find something you love and you will never work a day in your life" and I have not, to this day. I find my passion growing every single day. Let's make magic soon! Stay sparklin'!

"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."

—Aaron Siskind
