Melissa Lee Photography by Melissa Lee Kelder'Zeko

I was born and raised in Samsonville, New York, Ulster County, with spectacular views of Mohonk Mountain House out the front door and High Point Mountain looking out the back door.

I enjoyed living here so much that I decided to raise my family in the area I call home. Over the past 17 years I've enjoyed taking photos of my children as they grew up with my friends and family.

While exploring the Hudson Valley with my family, with my camera in my hand, I've found hidden gems. From breathtaking views, waterfalls, bald eagles, and other wildlife. I also enjoy taking photos of backyard birds, flowers, and other objects.

My love for photography began a long time ago. I began this journey by buying a Sony point and shoot camera, to owning my first Nikon DSLR. In 2016 after coming to terms with my new everyday life of living with a brain tumor I decided to create my own home photography studio with assorted backdrops and props galore!

I hope you will be a part of my journey, by letting me capture your joyful moments, as I expand my photography into Engagements, weddings, pregnancy, baby's, reunions, holiday's, family photos and more.

Please enjoy looking at my galleries of photos. I hope to hear from you and photograph you soon.
