I love connecting with people's stories.  This is where my passion for photography brings life.  Photography has always been a passion of mine since a young age. While my first love is being the wife to a wonderful husband, Patrick and mom to 3 incredible kids: Madison, Jackson and Mason, my photography career has allowed me to fulfill my creative passions and meet amazing people.

Melissa Hanley Photography launched in 2006 after some dedicated education and apprenticeship with a top Indianapolis photographer/mentor for many years. I absolutely love the wonderful people I've met along the way from my portrait work.  In 2013, I  began working with art publishing companies to sell my landscape and fine art prints nationwide at home decor stores such as "Hobby Lobby", "AtHome" stores and more.  We currently live in Orlando, Florida as we like to refer as "Paradise".   I would love the opportunity to work with you and capture YOUR special moments.
