I am Melissa Einarsen with Melvis Photography, an award-winning photographer with 10 years of experience based out of Cleveland, Tennessee. I started my business with pet photography and now have grown to include photography of horse events, dog events, weddings, and newborns among other photography genres.

When I am not capturing memories for others, I turn my camera towards my pack. I have 3 dogs: a German Shepherd named Izzie who loves dock diving, barn hunts and trail rides, she was given to me by the breeder due to a broken tail, a Standard Poodle Jackson who is my "Sheldon" couch potato adopted from Oklahoma Orphaned Poodle Rescue, and a Beagle/Dachshund mix Bella who I rescued and adopted from a puppy mill raid. I believe in rescue and adoption as a first choice but also recognize there is a place for responsible breeding programs that continue to improve upon breed standards.  

I specialize in indoor and outdoor photo sessions, weddings, maternity, newborn, milestone, families, high school senior pictures, business head shots, pets, as well as photographing corporate events.
