RAVES&REVIEWS

WHAT YOUR FRIENDS ARE SAYING I had so much fun during my session. I was a little nervous to get in front of the camera, but Melissa was extremely helpful and made me feel so comfortable. I felt amazing with my hair and makeup done, but I had no idea how great my pictures would actually come out. I wouldn’t have changed a thing about my session! If I could do a session with Melissa everyday, I they came out better than I could have ever expected. I’m so thankful I decided to do my senior photos with Varsity & Co, I don’t think I could have been happier about my session and my photos!

-bayleigh

Going in to this I was a little nervous, but once I actually got there Melissa made me feel totally comfortable. The location that she picked for this shoot was incredible! She had everything planned out ahead of time and so all I really had to do was show up. She takes amazing pictures and really cares about what you’re wanting for the shoot. Her ideas are all very creative and very original. Overall working with Melissa was a great experience! I would highly recommend Varsity & Co. for senior pictures.

-aly

I was so excited to have Varsity & Co. take my senior pictures.

The style boards she sent over really helped me to get excited about what she was planning for my session. She even helped me shop over text message to make sure I’d look amazing. I LOVE my pictures!

-linsey

I learned about Varsity & Co. through Facebook. I love love LOVED the pictures they photographed, so when I saw they were taking applications to model for them I was super excited! I went in for a consult and Melissa was super nice and professional and she explained everything in detail. Varsity & Co. is an awesome place to get senior pictures done.

-lexi

Working with Melissa was amazing. There was nothing that I needed to worry about, all was taken care of by her! She created a fun and incredibly comfortable atmosphere for us.

The pictures she took were outstanding and creative. She also made sure to keep everyone completely informed on the progress of our pictures. All in all working with Melissa was an awesome experience that anyone would be lucky to have.

-britani

Working with Varsity & Co. was an amazing and phenomenal experience that I wouldn’t trade. Melissa is a lot of fun to photograph with and the locations we shot are were beautiful. great photography experience.
