“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
My name is
Melissa Andrews
Wife, Mom, Office Manager, and Photographer!
I was born and raised right here in NEPA and I’m proud to call it my home.
I've always been the one with a camera at family get togethers, chasing down the little moments before they disappear.
That's still what drives me. I love capturing genuine emotion. A real laugh, a quiet glance, the small things you don't realize you'll want to remember until years later.
What started as a point and shoot camera and a love of documenting my own family turned into something bigger. In 2022 I launched M Andrews Photography LLC, and I've been growing ever since, through coursework at LCCC and Keystone College, hands on training with off camera flash, and now working toward my Certified Professional Photographer certification and Master of Photography degree through PPA.
I'm also an active member of PPA of PA, where I connect with fellow photographers, compete in image competitions, and keep learning through conferences and workshops, most recently Imaging USA in Nashville. It's given me new techniques, new inspiration, and a community that pushes me to keep growing as an artist.
But at the end of the day, none of that matters as much as this: when you sit for me, I want you to feel comfortable enough to just be yourself. That's when the real photos happen.
Whether it's a family portrait, a senior session, or your pet's first professional photoshoot, I bring the same thing every time: creativity, care, and a genuine love for telling your story.
