Real moments. Real laughter. Real families.
Wild Things Photography
Real moments. Real laughter. Real families.
The best memories aren’t perfectly posed.
They’re the moments when your kids are laughing, running, dancing, and being completely themselves.
At Wild Things Photography, sessions are relaxed, playful, and full of movement. We explore mountains, parks, lakes, and sometimes even the hockey rink — capturing the joy of families who love being together.
Because the years when your kids are little, wild, and full of life go by faster than anyone expects.

Cheyenne Outdoor Family Photographer
Families who:
- spend weekends at the lake or in the mountains
- travel for games, tournaments, and adventures
- laugh loudly and don’t worry about everything being perfect
If your kids run, climb, explore, dance, or even throw the occasional fit — you’re in the right place.
Those moments are real life. And those are the moments worth remembering.
For Families Who Love the Outdoors
Your session isn’t about stiff posing or perfect smiles.
Instead, we’ll walk, explore, and play.
I’ll guide you with simple prompts that help everyone relax — whether that means telling jokes, racing down a trail, dancing to music, or just enjoying time together as a family.
The goal is simple:
PHOTOS THAT FEEL LIKE YOUR FAMILY
Fun. Relaxed. Real.
A Session That Feels Like Play
Photography has always been part of my life.
My grandpa was rarely without a camera when we visited him in Washington, and my grandma still has boxes of photos from those years.
Now that I’m raising my own kids, I understand even more why those memories matter.
Because someday, when the early mornings, practices, road trips, and chaos are long gone, these photos will remind you how much fun you had together.

I am a lover of photography and love to get our photos taken every chance there is! My husband on the other hand, is never interested in taking photos and he enjoyed the experience we had with Wild Things photography! We both felt comfortable and at ease, like we were hanging out together. Melissa made it fun and easy to get our photos taken and we will cherish them forever!

During the session, she gave clear, helpful direction that made a huge difference in getting the kind of shots I was hoping for. Nothing felt forced or awkward—she knew exactly how to guide things so everything came together naturally.

Working with Melissa was such a positive experience from start to finish. She really took the time to understand what I wanted, asking thoughtful questions and making sure my vision and needs were heard.

We’ve had our photos taken many times with Wild Things and every experience has been amazing! Melissa has a gift for capturing real moments, our personalities, and the love that makes our family, our family. We’ll cherish these memories forever!!
Your kids won’t stay this age forever.
But the laughter, the chaos, and the memories can.
Let’s capture them.
