Kind words from the people we photograph

Oregon Tradeswomen works with Melissa to document our annual Career Fair and other events. We are absolutely thrilled with her work and ability to capture key moments at our dynamic gatherings. Melissa is not only an immensely talented artist who delivers gorgeous, engaging images, she is also a reliable professional.

Melissa is awesome to work with! Her event photography is truly exceptional. She's also quick to respond to messages and consistently meets deadlines. I've been working with her on a monthly basis for the past year and it has been nothing short of a delightful experience. We've been able to use her work to promote numerous events of ours, and we couldn't be more grateful to have her on our event team. Melissa is a gem.

Toledo Images met our expectations and then some! We were looking for a personable and empathetic photographer who is able to create high quality assets for internal use and external marketing that really represents us, and Melissa delivered on that spectacularly.

Melissa was very prompt and professional, and her images were fantastic!

Melissa is that rare, thoughtful, hungry talent you want on your side. I worked with Melissa to shoot a prototype product on a very limited budget. What she brought was a brilliant, diligent, tireless effort to figure out the problem and deliver exactly what I was looking for. Before you go into production, no matter the size, you’ll need a nimble, powerful talent to deliver. Melissa delivers awesome.

Working with Melissa was GREAT! I was looking for a photographer for my company photos who was easy to work with, creative and professional.  Melissa was just that! She has a very creative eye for photography and I recommend contacting her for your next photo shoot! Cheers!

​I had a great 1-hr photo shoot w/ Melissa for some new shots. I'd already checked out her website and just knew she was the right one for the job. Contacted her and very quickly booked a next day appt. She's a total professional. Right on time for our appt. She took extra time to get the lighting right and was very easy to work with. Melissa was very helpful with wardrobe choices and provided me with almost too many choices for my final pictures. I would highly recommend Melissa Toledo for your next photo shoot. Great job!

We hired Toledo Images for two photoshoots for a new website, and it was a great experience. Melissa and team were communicative, punctual, and very well organized. Our shoots were of people who were new to being photographed in a professional shoot, and Melissa did a great job of making them comfortable and directing the shots she needed. The team was flexible and accommodated some last minute timing changes, and were very patient with our final selection process. And the photos are fantastic! I would definitely hire them again.

We hired Melissa and her team to get pictures of our company employees and office for a revamped website. The process couldn't have gone smoother and we were thrilled with the results. Would highly recommend to anyone else looking for a talented team that is easy to work with.

Our company headshots were well done. Her personality is lighthearted and engaging, making the whole experience a lot less awkward! We will continue to use her.

Working with Melissa to create my new headshots was incredibly fun! She had great feedback and guidance to help me get the best images, and the results are amazing! Melissa is incredibly professional, had great turnaround time and is wonderful to work with. Within hours of posting my new headshots on various casting sites, I was offered two jobs! Thank you, Melissa! I will definitely be calling you any time I need any professional photographs.

Very responsive. Melissa Toledo, was very responsive, accessible, and adapted to changing circumstances as the event day turned out to be very hot. Promptly arrived well ahead of the event and stayed longer when requested for an additional fee. Thanks Melissa.

After researching online and loving her work, I reached out to Melissa to request a photo shoot for my work portfolio (e.g. emails, LinkedIn, pending website) as I was on a job hunt. I'm not big on professional photos as I don't feel comfortable in an artificial setting, however, she did a great job making me feel comfortable! Considering I can turn into a statue for such a shoot, I really appreciated her suggestions on poses and posture as it helped me feel a little more giddy and relaxed. I really loved her approach in selecting photos and having an inside/outside option. I used one of the photos from our job hunt during my applications and did snag a job. For getting one's foot in the door, I think a first impression is really important and a photograph can be a part of that. Thank you, Melissa! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a highly talented photographer for their portfolio, professional shoot, etc.

Melissa took amazing shots of me for a business portfolio. At first I was skeptical since I am not photogenic at all. However when it came time to narrow the final shots down to several best choices, I loved every single photo! Melissa has a truly amazing talent of making you feel comfortable and capturing the essence of your personality through her magical lens. My LinkedIn photo was taken by Melissa! Melissa is more than highly recommended!
