OUR PHOTOGRAPHER
Meet Melissa
An experienced eye. A down-to-earth approach.
I’m Melissa Toledo, a Portland-based photographer with more than 15 years behind the camera and over 30 years in the creative industry. I bring a designer’s eye and a personal approach to every project.
I work with businesses and organizations to create engaging images of their people, spaces, and everyday work. My photographs reflect who they are and help others connect with what they do.
SEE THE WORK
Stories, People, and Moments.
2025 Photo Reel
A glimpse of the people, places, and projects I've photographed, with an eye for expression, atmosphere, and connection.
A PROJECT CLOSE TO MY HEART
Migration Is Beautiful
In July 2020, I photographed an Aztec Dancer and nine inspirational Latinas for the Migration Is Beautiful exhibit for Adelante Mujeres.
The portraits celebrate the strength, pride, and beauty of Latina culture. Seeing them installed in Forest Grove was an unforgettable moment.
