Meet Melanie

I've been creative and artistic for as long as I can remember—whether it was doodling on the edges of my homework or capturing little moments on an old film camera.

Photography became my favorite way to tell stories, freezing time and emotion in a single frame. My camera has become my fifth child over the years and I take her everywhere. When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll probably find me in the kitchen baking something with sourdough, out on a trail soaking in nature, or diving into another creative project just for the joy of making something beautiful. My work is all about connection, light, and the little details that make life magical. 

Photo sessions with me are all about having fun, feeling comfortable, and making memories—not just capturing them. Whether we’re chasing golden hour in a wide-open field, laughing through silly prompts, or sharing stories between shots, I want your session to feel more like a fun day out than a formal shoot. My goal is to create a relaxed space where your genuine personality shines through. The result? Beautiful, honest photos—and a memorable experience you’ll actually enjoy looking back on.
