Melissa Pauquette believes in helping others, providing quality work and always improving her craft. She is available for studio and outdoor senior photos, family portraits, weddings and children's photography in the Columbus, Ohio region including Westerville, Grove City, Dublin, Bexley, Newark, Zanesville, Gahanna, Upper Arlington and Worthington.

Melissa graduated from the Ohio State University in 2007 with a degree in Sociology. In lieu of formal photography training she traveled the United States for 6 months in 2008, taking thousands of pictures of our nation's natural beauty and honing her photographic skills.

As a photographer, Melissa believes that there is beauty to be found in everything. In contrast to much modern art that depicts the dirty, vulgar and base in society, Melissa finds the good and the light in every environment.

Most importantly, Melissa believes that she can use her craft to help others. She pursues an alternative lifestyle, free of consumerism, devoted to helping her neighbors improve their lives. Her photography is simply a God-given talent that she prays will pay the bills in order for her to continue in more valuable pursuits.
