A Shot Above the Rest Photography

Absolutely love Melissa at A Shot Above The Rest! I first went to her for newborn photos of my daughter after seeing the photos she took of my niece and nephew, now my entire family goes to Melissa! She is so welcoming and kind and really cares for her clients! She is amazing when working with children and she always gets the perfect photo! Her pricing is fair and reasonable for the wonderful job she does.I can’t recommend her enough!

I highly recommend A Shot Above the Rest. My husband and I recently got married. We used A Shot Above the Rest and had an amazing experience. I am not one to like being the centre of attention and hate having photographs taken of me. I never know how to pose. Melissa is professional and down to earth. She made the experience comfortable and fun. She had perfect photo scenery suggestions. Melissa also asked what was most important for us to have photographed. We will be using A Shot Above the Rest for any other special event that comes around. Thank you!

We have asked Mel three times to do our family portraits including my daughter’s one year birthday photo-shot, all the photo turn out to be so beautiful and her dedication and attention to detail is amazing, she even went out of her way to set up the scene. I highly recommend her to everyone.

Pet photography is probably not what Mel from A Shot Above the Rest is known for but I was lucky enough to win a prize she donated for a photoshoot with my three dogs which highlights her flexibility and amazing generosity. Mel was an absolute professional with incredible patience when trying to get my fur babies into position and the end results were simply perfect.I cannot recommend Mel more highly - no matter what your photography needs may be. She is not only an extremely talented photographer, she is a warm, fun, patient and generous person all round.
