Welcome

The name's Melissa (Barber) 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.  And snacks. I get super excited about all things snacky.

I was born and raised in the vast cornfields of New Richland, MN, and I will confidently stand my ground that tater tot hot dish is easily one of man's greatest creations.

My family has been traveling full-time in our RV since October 2020, and I hope to catch you on the road someday!

GREAT QUESTION!
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, and waking up with a new backyard whenever we wish. If you're in the area (or want to go on vacation and have a unique + fresh background in your photos-- I'm especially talking to you, my MN peeps!), I'D LOVE TO MEET UP!

 who are we?

WE ARE THE SOSTRES
Melissa, Rafael, Aveda (9) and the World's Okayest Cat; Oreo. The four 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, courageous and simple life (...que: Aveda objecting to the first one...) 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 and we refuse to let our possessions slow us down <3
