Light of Day Studios is owned/operated by Melissa Knox. Let's get to know her!

...a southern girl by birth but I now consider myself an official Minnesotan. I live in Zimmerman and love it. Minnesota has proven to be the most beautiful place I have ever lived.

I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend to many wonderful people. And I am blessed to be able to share my love of photography with so many amazing people.

My mother always had a Canon in her hand and I can't fathom being without one in mine. Because of my mother's talent and passion, I grew up with the love of the art. And it is an art.

When you follow your heart in anything you do, you cannot go wrong. My heart is here, in capturing memories that last a lifetime.

In my pursuit, I have captured over 70 weddings and I have been lucky to be able to work with so many brides in so many different styles and tastes. Every wedding I go to is my first one. Never do I strive to take the same shot twice.

Newborns, babies, children...all are my personal favorite. Their innocence, their raw beauty, their amazing love...is exactly what I hope to capture everytime I pick up my camera. Each of them have something special and I wish to grab and hold on to those funny faces, those eyes full of love, and those breathtaking smiles for families so they can have that moment forever.

Please view some samples, explore around my website a bit. And if you like my style and you love my view (hehe, lame photographer joke, sorry) let me know. And we can work on making your 'live' captured, so you can relive it for decades to come!
