ABOUT Melissa de Valcourt PHOTOGRAPHY
IMG_2399.jpeg

Hello and welcome!


I’m Melissa—a Pensacola Beach-based photographer capturing couples in love and families in all their beautifully chaotic, ever-changing seasons. Since 2015, I’ve been turning sweet, fleeting moments into lasting images filled with connection, laughter, and love.

​

My journey into photography began even before that, back in high school in the darkroom and continued through college with photography as my minor. Years later, when I started having children of my own, I found myself drawn back to the camera. Documenting the joy, tenderness, and real-life messiness of motherhood reignited my passion—and what began as a creative outlet quickly became a full-time calling.

​

There’s never a perfect time to schedule photos. Life moves fast, kids grow quickly, and there’s always something that feels “off.” But the truth is, those everyday imperfections—scraped knees, silly giggles, sandy feet—are what make your story worth remembering. My goal is to preserve the feeling of now, so you can revisit it for years to come.

I was raised in Pensacola and now live just across the bridge on beautiful Pensacola Beach with my (very patient) husband and our four amazing kids. When I’m not photographing, I’m probably cooking something fresh, paddle boarding, biking, or writing for a local magazine.

​

It means the world to me to be welcomed into your lives, even briefly, to tell your story through my lens. I’d love to connect and capture something meaningful for you.

​

—Melissa
