Making things beautiful, it what I’ve always liked to do. Even as a little girl, I would go to great lengths to create pretty things. I recall taking the lid from cheese whiz and make it into a pot for plants in my Barbie dream home, I painted all of my baby’s dolls nails with pink polish (much to my mother’s dismay), I dressed my puppy in my clothing, I glued cute fabric to my notebooks for school, and I could go on and on with all the ways I have always tried to make everything around me beautiful. It is a passion that fills my heart in every way, in all I do. My creative side loves to decorate, create, and capture beautiful memories through art. This is the reason photography was such a natural fit as a career.
Nearly 10 years ago, I started a brand new career and did something I thought I would never do - open a small business. It was scary to become an entrepreneur … so much to do, so much to learn, so much to invest, so much hard work, dedication, education and SACRIFICE to grow this business. I often refer to Melissa Treen Photography as my 3rd baby, as it has required so much love, nurturing and attention over the years. I am so blessed to be able to capture beautiful memories for clients from all over North Carolina. Thank you for allowing me the honor of capturing your special season of life.
