Get To Know Me

Hi, I’m Melissa Petersen - the heart behind Honey B Photography! 💛

I'm a Wisconsin-based natural light photographer specializing in seniors, couples, and families. Photography started as a creative outlet for me - something I always loved - and over time, it's grown into something so much more: a way to connect with people and tell their stories in the most honest, beautiful way I know how.

Before I became a photographer, I was a teacher. I've always had a passion for working with kids, and now, as a stay-at-home mama myself, I know firsthand how quickly time moves! That's why I'm so passionate about capturing the in-between moments - the ones that don't feel posed or perfect, but real and full of heart.

My style is warm, natural, and relaxed. I use soft, golden light and simple direction to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Whether it's the excitement of a senior stepping into their next chapter, the quiet connection between a couple, or the energy and chaos of family life, I want your photos to feel like you - genuine, beautiful, and true to your story!

When you book with me, you're not just getting photos. You're getting a laid back, friendly experience with someone who's cheering you on and capturing the real stuff - the giggles, the snuggles, the love!

Thanks so much for being here! I'd love to connect and help you freeze this season in time - because it's worth remembering.
