Seattle fashion, product and lifestyle photographer Melissa O’ Hearn hails from Wyoming, where, yes, she actually had a horse, Silver Lady ... and five sisters.

Growing up, Melissa always wanted to be a veterinarian, but when the blood and guts became too much to stomach, she switched gears to her other love, photography.

Now she’s happy as a clam shooting colorful advertising and editorial photography, all the while living vicariously through one of her older sisters who is an actual veterinarian in Wyoming.

Melissa’s favorite things: her baby, sushi, mustard, teal, mustard (the color),kaftans, giraffes, documentaries (preferably with subtitles), three-legged dogs, parentheses (clearly).
