About Me

Hi! I’m Melissa Harris.
I’m a sucker for love, family, and fellowship. My desires include creating portraits, finding fresh angles, and developing relationships. When I’m not holding my camera, you can find me at Home Goods spending money I shouldn’t be or eating tacos with my husband!
I didn’t anticipate becoming a photographer when I stepped on to the University of North Texas campus. I was certain journalism was the road I would travel, but your true gift has a way of revealing itself in the most unexpected ways.
My now sister-in-law gave me the opportunity to shoot my first wedding in 2015. It was like I was dropped onto the perfect movie set! Amazing lights, beautiful backgrounds, breathtaking decorations and the perfect people. All I had to do was point and shoot. Consumed with joy, any anxiety I should have experienced quickly melted away. To say that I felt alive doesn’t quite do the sensation justice.
It is amazing how passion can surpass “work.” This is what I was made to do, this is the gift that God put inside my heart. I was meant to serve others without hesitation, cheerfully, and to the best of my ability. Someone very close to me said, “before you leave to start your day there is one thing you should know. It can be hard to live in a dim world when you were made to glow!” That is my mission and I am here for you!

The interest began when I created oreo truffles for the first time years ago for Thanksgiving! Granted, I didn’t “bake” the truffles but destroying the kitchen in order to create a delicious masterpiece was exhilarating! I have mastered my Red Velvet Cookie recipe and there will be many more trial and error recipes to come!
