Hi, I’m Melissa! I’m a BIG movie gal.

My love for film began when I was 6 years old when my parents allowed me to play with their Panasonic vintage camcorder. I was hooked. Making movies became my passion!

I married my childhood friend and High School sweetheart. The best duo, popcorn munching, movie making team.

I’ve worked in the medical field for 15+ years and have many years of experience performing, filming and editing. I studied broadcast journalism, film and worked alongside two news stations. I love working with people and sharing my creative side with a camera in hand. I’ve turned my love for movies into a successful career and love every minute of it!

I’m an avid marathon runner and a proud Mama of two amazing kiddos. My handsome husband Dustin, is a jack of all trades type of guy. He has the brains for any and all “fix it” or engineering jobs around the house, works as a PILOT and loves to help with his wife’s crazy DIY projects. He is normally my drone shooter, or second camera operator at needed weddings. He’s a great help with everything needed for Trulee Captured.

As for our kids, they are amazing. The BEST kids in the world!

Fun fact: “Trulee Captured” was named after my husband and two kids. I took all their names into ONE- Trulee.

Whether you’re hosting a large mountainside wedding or a cozy family photoshoot, I’m your gal to make your dreams a reality. I’m thrilled that you are here, and look forward to working with you!
