Feeling Good

Melissa Ortendahl Photography

Behind the Lens

Hi, I'm Melissa!

I’m a photographer who believes family photos should feel like life, not a photoshoot.

My approach is laid-back, fun, and fueled by quick wit, so I can capture your family in all its messy, joy-filled glory—the kind of images you’ll look back on and say, yep, that’s exactly us.
