Phew, this past year has been a wild ride! After 2020 (we all know how that went…), it was a welcome change to get back into the swing of things. At the beginning of this year, I took the leap and left my part-time job to focus solely on photography. Although it seems like a […]

So, you said yes (let’s be real, probably more like “YES!!!”) and now its time to start finding the perfect wedding professionals to help you create your dream wedding day. It can feel like a daunting task at first! Even as someone who works in weddings, after I got engaged I had a moment of…now […]

If you ever email me asking if you can include your dog in your engagement session, the immediate answer is “YES!”. As a dog lover and a photographer, having them be a part of any session is a no-brainer. That being said, as anyone with a dog knows, they can be a handful to photograph. […]

Back in January on a blisteringly cold winter day, I headed to It Takes Two Farm in Windham, Maine. If this winter has shown me one thing, it’s that I have super dedicated clients! When a high of maaaaybe 10 degrees, we braved the elements to get some wonderful black background portraits! Enjoy the images […]

I often heard the word “podcast” over the past few years. To be honest, I had almost no idea what it even meant! Over the past year I started exploring the world of podcasts and immediately fell in love with them. I am someone who works better with a little bit of distraction. Having the […]

I wanted to put together a look back on all my sessions in 2016! I love seeing the evolution of Melissa Gebert Photography over the past year and can’t wait to see where it takes me in 2017. Enjoy this little trip down memory lane! To book a session of your own and see yourself […]
