THE LADY BEHIND THE CAMERA

Hi, I'm Melanie! First and foremost, I am a Wife, Mother, avid Peloton rider, and happy hiker.

I've had a camera in my hands for as long as I can remember and a passion for this art that runs deep. I can still smell the chemicals in the dark room lab in my high school photography class. I can remember pestering my partner in my large format photography class in college to help me focus that massive camera.

I started 20 years ago photographing black and white still life, and as much as photography has changed, so has my art. I received an Associates Degree in photography from Northern Arizona University, and after years working for "the man" I decided to leave it all behind and focus on my photography business! I am now obsessed with capturing emotion whether it's with brand new parents and their newborn, toddler giggles, a couple in love, or Seniors getting ready to move on to college and change the world.

I want my clients to be able to look back on their most meaningful moments in the most beautiful way.  

I'm honored you chose to view my work, I hope to make some art with you soon!


"Working with Melanie was so comfortable. Even though we had just met her, it felt like we had known her for ages. She gave us excellent directions and positions for each shots. She came prepared with stunning inspiration shots and helped us achieve the look we were hoping for. The photos were perfectly framed and captured one of the sweetness moments in our lives. We are counting down the days until we can work with Melanie again when our baby girl arrives."
