“I am the GM for a set of local radio stations in Watertown, NY called Intrepid Broadcasting, Inc. / TUNES 92.5 & 104.5 FM and our company has been benefiting from Melissa's photography talents for many, many years. Her eye for composition, branding, product placement/launching, social media, etc. have been a major resource and 'needle mover' for us since 2010. We cannot recommend 'Sarissa Melissa Photography' enough. All the mindful professionalism you hope for with a heart and soul for her clients too!

Using our Session Checklist, we thoughtfully planned:

  • Wardrobe selections to reflect her brand

  • Specific uses for the images

  • How she wanted her personality and professionalism to shine through in each photo

how it worked:

Over the years, we’ve created versatile, professional images tailored to her evolving brand, including in-studio and on location branding photos with various outfits and backdrops.

She has used her images to:

  • Build connections with her ideal clients

  • Highlight her personality and passion for her work
