Current location: Moab, UT
welcome!
My name's Melissa Sostre and I'm glad you found me! I'm a traveling lifestyle photographer + videographer that gets (probably overly) excited over the authentic emotions and actions that take place between everyday people.

where are we?
GREAT QUESTION!
I am permanently on the road! In October, 2020, my little family made the impromptu decision to sell all our belongings in southern Minnesota and live full-time in an RV.
Midlife crisis? ...Perhaps.
Whatever you wish to call it, we are living our dream and learning along the way, waking up with a new backyard whenever we wish.
If you're in the area (or want to go on safe, socially distanced vacation and have a unique + fresh background in your photos-- I'm especially talking to you, my MN cornfield peeps!), I'D LOVE TO MEET UP!

who are we?
WE ARE THE SOSTRES
Melissa, Rafael and Aveda. The three of us are on a lifelong mission to see the world and bring some brightness back into focus. We believe in living a very minimalistic and simple life (...okay, maybe just the two adults believe this!) and devote our time to planning our next adventure together. Our lives are defined by meaningful conversations, seeing the world, taking massive risks, doing good deeds and just getting lost along the way. The world has so much to offer... don't let your possessions slow you <3
"A GOAL WITHOUT A TIMELINE IS JUST A DREAM."
