"Melissa produced a stunning selection of timeless photos that beautifully showcase my cashmere scarves through a refreshingly relaxed experience. Melissa was brilliant at making me feel comfortable so that she could create beautiful images. Melissa is very generous with her time, and I think a lot of this was down to her careful preparation and planning. She scouted out the locations and she also took the time to research and understand my brand and listened to what I hoped to achieve on the day. I was very grateful to come away from the shoot with a set of photos that included close up detailed images of the textures of the scarves, portrait images, and breath-taking panoramic images. I cannot recommend her services highly enough. "

"Melissa took the time and effort to fully understand who were were as a brand and what image we wanted to portray to the world. She was able to identify what makes us unique and really captured those qualities in a beautiful way. Melissa's images really injected some soul and personality into our social media presence. Our dream clients are able to form strong connections to our brand before ever meeting us in person -- resulting in more bookings within our target demographic. Thank you, Melissa!"

"Working with The Brand Bottega was an elevated experience from beginning to end. She prepared a detailed Photo Shoot Brief that really captured the essence of what I wanted to communicate with my new brand, and held me in a space of transformation throughout the entire process. Initially, I required more guidance to break through some awkwardness but very quickly I was at ease. Melissa is amazing! When I received the photos, they were beautiful. I feel amazing about my new brand and the photos are a very big part of the energetic shift I experienced putting my new website out into the world. I now have a solid foundation on which to stand!"
