This engagement session was a bit of a sentimental one for me. About five years ago, I worked at good old Hannaford Supermarket, bagging groceries and taking names. It was a typical first job, but I have plenty of good memories from that phase of my life. It was during that time that I got […]

Honestly, there is nothing more fun than getting together with old friends, having fun, and taking photographs. On a gorgeous Sunday evening, we headed to the waterfront in Bangor. Jocelyn is another familiar face of the MGP family, who is now doing awesome things on YouTube! Click here to check out her channel!Enjoy some of my […]

Spring is finally here and I am SO excited to be back out shooting! I headed up to Peppergrass Farm in Dixmont, Maine on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon to visit one of my best friends Jessica (a familiar face to any of those who have followed me for a while!) and her two horses, Raisin and […]

A professional word of advice – don’t go to the edge of the Atlantic Ocean in January at 7am.  Photographing when you can’t feel your fingers isn’t fun, even if you do have an adorable couple to work with.Carolyn is one of my closest friends, and after she moved to Oregon earlier in the year, […]

After a little break for the holidays, I jumped right back into the swing of things with a portrait session on December 28th! Brianna had e-mailed be before Christmas about setting up a session for her mother, Renee, and her beautiful warmblood/Thoroughbred, Chance. Photographs are such a thoughtful gift that lasts YEARS after the hour […]

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 […]

Caleb’s senior photos had been in the works months beforehand! Of course, the original date we picked ended up being an awful rainy day, so we rescheduled for late afternoon a few days later. We caught the tail end of golden hour light and it ended up being perfect timing. These photos are extra special […]

Around the same time I held my 500 Facebook Likes giveaway, Sarah was coming back from New Jersey with this beautiful guy! I am convinced D’Artagnan is a real-life unicorn. As someone who browses the CANTER website daily, meeting him did not help with my off-the-track Thoroughbred obsession. It is much easier to work around the […]

As soon as I got these photos uploaded to my computer and started going through them, I was in love. My entire session with Annie was SO much fun! From the very first time she contacted me, I knew it would be great. They certainly did not disappoint. It was wonderful to spend time photographing these […]

My goal with photography is to give people a tangible memory of their relationship with their horse. When Katelynn and I first talked about having a session with her and her horse Prince, I knew her situation was EXACTLY why I do this job. Earlier this month, Katelynn and her veterinarian came to the conclusion […]
