PORTFOLIO

What started in 2013 as Melissa Kelly Boudoir Photographer has blossomed into a multi-faceted photography journey ever since. While boudoir photography and professional makeup artistry remain at the heart of my work, I’ve expanded into various areas, including branding & product photography, lifestyle portraits, couples shoots, engagements, headshots, live music photography, food & beverage styling, and social media content creation for various restaurants. From the intimate moments captured in boudoir to the energy of live concerts and the beauty of styled cuisine photography, my mission is to encourage people to express themselves authentically through every frame, while creating a feeling and experience with every image.

Along my journey, I became a Professional Makeup Artist, ensuring that every client feels picture-perfect before stepping in front of the camera. This expanded into providing bridal makeup services for more than 30 weddings each year, where I continue to help brides look and feel their best on one of the most important days of their lives.

It may appear as though I wear many hats…I do! I love hats! My work has been featured in numerous magazine publications over the years and I’ve recently received The 2025 Canada’s Choice Award for Best Boudoir Photographer.

Lastly, I've been honoured to collaborate with an Award Winning Niagara winery and multiple restaurants in Ontario as Social Media Content Manager, where I craft visually stunning and engaging photography and videography content that elevates their online presence.
