I am so glad you’re here!

I’m Melissa Ferguson, a Northern Virginia family, lifestyle, and newborn photographer. People often refer to me as Missy but I respond to both, so no pressure. Most days you can find me making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, playing hide and seek, and squeezing in as much editing time as I can while my babes sleep. When I’m not busy working on your galleries or preserving my own family memories, you can catch me chasing around my two greatest joys- Camden and Bode. They sure do keep me busy and I am so grateful to have a job that allows me to be the best stay at home mom I can be. We love to explore, dance and sing, and cuddle up to a good Disney movie. The best part about living so close to the mountains is all the awesome hiking trails and parks we get to venture to and it’s an added bonus when we get to bring our two pups along. As of recently, we have found a love for cruises and can’t wait to book our next trip once Bode gets a little older. I personally love any tropical or warm destination and would love your recommendations on where we should visit next! 

I love serving the world by freezing time with my camera. Time is a thief, and the best way to remember all the amazing details of your little one(s) is to freeze all those moments and have them in a gallery for you to look back on forever. I am so passionate about my family and I understand the importance of documenting the special things that happen in your every day because things are always changing and family is my one constant! Whether it be newborns or family sessions, I want to capture all the little things that make you “YOU”. I am so lucky to capture all my clients, making forever friendships and bonds. 

As a photographer I’ve been featured by Lookslikefilm, Unraveled Academy, and countless Instagram hubs! You can find all my Instagram features saved on my Instagram page!

If you’re dying to hear more, here are 5 things you may not know about me:

  1. My dad is a man of many hobbies, but and he is the one who introduced me to photography and still teaches me new things constantly! 

  2. I could eat McDonald’s or Taco Bell for every meal. 

  3. I have the pleasure of being an aunt to 4 beautiful boys, making my daughter the only granddaughter on my side of the family!

  4. I had never tried sushi until I was in my 20’s and now it’s one of my absolute favorite foods. 

  5. I was a vegetarian for 11 years.
