Hi, I am Melissa Wilkerson.

We aren't perfect. We are fierce while still having flaws. But who says that means we can't be confident? I say we can.

Hey, I'm Melissa, I'm your local intimate confidence-boosting photographer and the owner of Bad n' Boudie Photography. I was born and raised in Portland, OR, and we have recently moved down to Keizer, OR.

My mission through my photography is to show the people I meet that they are beautiful, and they don't need anything more than their own reflection to prove it. It can intimidate people when they see us being confident in ourselves, but the ones who love us will raise us up when they see how fearless we can be.

Fun facts about me: #1 - I'm obsessed with Cool Ranch Doritos. #2 - I'm a mom to two brave little boys. #3 - My favorite time of day is when I get to take off my bra. #4 - I'm a huge animal lover. #5 - Fandoms are my main pass time (fantasy books, Stranger Things, Doctor Who, Star Wars, Marvel, and more.) #6 - My first language is sarcasm. #7 - I believe poking fun at each other is the glue in my marriage. #8 - I cuss. A lot. #9 - I'm annoyingly extroverted #10 - Painting my nails is my favorite little way to pamper myself
