I don't how she does it, but my kids actually smile and look like themselves in these photos! They are so precious! This is our second time getting these photos through our daycare and we couldn't help but buy all the electronic prints because they are so cute!

This was our third year in a row having Meliza capture photos of our girls. I cannot say enough good things. She is truly amazing at what she does! She is so kind and down to earth. We absolutely love our photos and look forward to continuing our annual tradition of working with her. Thank you, Meliza! You are a gem!

So happy with how our kids portraits turned out. My oldest is very shy and serious. I was worried he wouldn’t be into the photos. Meliza took her time allowing him to warm up and get him smiling.

Our experience with Meliza who came in to capture the moments of our preschoolers' graduation was nothing short of amazing. One of the most remarkable aspects of her work was her ability to connect with the children. She possessed a unique talent for making even the most nervous little ones feel comfortable in front of the camera. It was heartwarming to witness her patience and gentle encouragement as she interacted with each child, coaxing out their brightest smiles and most natural expressions.
What truly set her apart was her playful approach to photography. With her creative ideas and infectious energy, she had the kids laughing, giggling, and fully engaged throughout the entire process.

Meliza is so amazing and fun and silly with the kids. I didn’t think she would be able to make my kid smile at all and then she did her magic and I got the cutest smiles and faces in every single picture. I also love the authentic and natural look of the pictures.
