Hey, you gorgeous gorgeous human!
I'm a multi-passionate creative who loves art in all forms. I take inspiration from retro and vintage aesthetic. You're not only hiring an artist to capture your memories, but you'll also be hiring a friend! Simply put- when you work with me, you've got a friend for life.
Additionally, I'm an eating disorder therapist who understands the insecurities some have with their body image. I see every single body as beautiful, and I'm here to capture photos that make you not want to stop looking at yourself!

"Mel did an amazing job on our family photos! Melanie is so down to earth and makes you feel so comfortable! There just aren't enough words to possibly describe how amazing each and every photo that Melanie snaps. She has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting and of course expressions. She has captured the most special moments of my family's life. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my maternity pictures! She captured me so beautifully while pregnant. I have never felt so beautiful before! I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs amazing pictures!"

"Melanie is a very talented, patient and creative photographer and individual. We've had multiple shoots with Mel and she never ceases to amaze me. It's not easy photographing a 2 year old boy, who may or may not cooperate, but each time Mel has returned phenomenal photos. From candids to posed pictures, they're all amazing and cherished forever. Mel is my go-to photographer for any occasion (or just because). Thanks so much Mel! Can't wait for the next session".
