Client Work Spotlight: 10 Business Photography Assignments by Melissa Toledo

As a freelance photographer, the search for new projects often becomes a moment to pause and reconnect with why I do this work in the first place: to create impactful narratives with sincerity from my own artistic perspective.

Recently, I was asked to share ten examples of my photography, which gave me the chance to revisit some of the people, places, and communities that have shaped my journey. Looking back at these assignments reminded me how each project — big or small — has deepened my craft and strengthened my commitment to visually honoring the stories entrusted to me.

What emerged is a collection* that reflects the heart of my work: elevating real people, documenting important moments, and capturing environments with authenticity and intention. I’m grateful for every client who trusted me to help bring their vision to life.

Below are ten projects that represent meaningful chapters in my ongoing story as a photographer.
