Client Testimonials

Due to my multifaceted shooting style, I serve a wide range of clients with different photographic requirements.

Alli & Alex

We hired Melissa for our wedding and could not have been happier! She truly embodied a "one-woman show" and captured the magic of our special day from every nook and cranny. We were especially pleased with her attention to lighting and detail. We are jugglers and had our circus friends put on a show during sunset. Melissa was easily able to capture the performances to show off the LED props used- she knew how much this part of the night meant to us, and her skill in this regard helped set her apart from other photographers. Her edits are beautiful, and she is very easy to work with. Highly recommend!

K. Price

"Melissa did a phenomenal job with the pictures from my wedding in June. She really listened to what I was thinking and pinning and was super flexible as I figured out what I wanted. Very professional and detail-oriented. She also has a lot of competency with post editing and photo manipulation. - ya can't get much better than that! Highly recommended."

Amanda Mandalay - Model

“I swear by her work, she excels in commercial, editorial, event, nature. She has excellent use of lighting, gives just the right amount of direction and has a great eye for portrait and stylistic concepts.”

K. Hancher

“We love having Melissa do the photography for the Government IT Executive Council (GITEC) Summit - it is a three day event attracting over 200 government and industry attendees. Melissa works from early morning through the evening events taking pictures and capturing the highlights. Her high energy and youthful exuberance adds an element of fun to an otherwise stodgy event. She has worked with GITEC for several years because she does excellent work. Over the years she has demonstrated flexibility, reliability and creativity in responding to our changing needs.”

Anna DeMeo - Makeup Artist

"Melissa and I did test shoot together a few months back. As someone who is a pro MUA and has worked on a lot of photoshoots, I was extremely impressed with her professionalism and expertise in lighting. She uses minimal editing techniques, and focuses on delivering a clean and beautifully lit shot in whatever style she is doing. I LOVED the shots she sent me, and I used pretty much every single one of them!"

C. Elena - Artist & Performer

“Melissa is the best photographer I have ever worked with. She helped me choose a location, concept, and overall design for a promotional video and photo set for my performance page. She's imaginative, professional, and detail-oriented. Seriously couldn't have been happier with the results.”

M. Fulton

“Melissa gives wonderful direction while on shoots and isn't afraid to let you know if you need to shift your weight, move a hand or tilt your chin down. Photo shoots with her are always comfortable and the results are always stunning!”

Lindsay - Coal Rode Clothing

"My own clothing business wouldn't be a thing without the amazing work of M Newman Photography. Not only did she take quality product photos for me, but she also created fantastical atmospheric scenes that brought my vision to life. Highly recommend this photographer!"

K. Bergeron

“M Newman Photography never ceases to amaze me with her work. She has so much passion, commitment, and dedication to her clients that clearly results in her work. Behind the scenes she spends hours adapting her equipment and preparing for each individual shoot she has booked. I've done countless shoots with her over the last seven years for various themes, events, and desired outcomes (yoga shoots, maternity shoots, nightclub events, etc). Never once have I been disappointed by photos she chooses by hand out of the hundreds that incorporate each shoot and scene that she shoots. Whether her shots are straight from the camera or edited with her software, I am blown away at her work. Hands down would recommend her for any and every event/theme you are considering.”

Eyrie Twylite - Model

“M Newman always brings their professional best to any photoshoot. I've been beyond pleased with their capture, from movement to stills, people to objects. I will be hiring them again.”
