It's nice to meet you.
Hi! I'm Melissa the photographer and doula behind Melissa Attlee - Photography & Birth services. I am a wife, mother of 4, and Marine Corps Veteran.
In the Marine Corps I was a photojournalist, which sparked my love for photography. I served from 2007-2016 and photographed Operation Iraqi Freedom up close and personal. It may seem odd, that my photography specialty now revolves mainly around growing families, newborns and birth. ;) but that is where my journey has brought me. While pregnant with my youngest in 2015, I discovered my passion for empowering women to have the birth they desire and deserve. While preparing for a natural water birth, I heard story after story of women who were victims in their own birth stories - sometimes unknowingly so. Since then, I've advocated for education, owning your birth and knowing your choices. This inspired me to become a certified doula to help change the stigmas related to childbirth.
