“Mel has a genuine authenticity. It allows her to connect with her subjects. My kids are young. They are very busy, very loud little humans! Mel takes that in stride and captures each one in their own personalities. She captures both the stunning smiles and the unnoticed moments and precious details that I can now look back on in beautiful imagery: my son’s bouncing curls, little hands being held, a running toddler, a connection between brothers, a pause with my husband. She gives me the gift of freezing time and remembering each of us as we are in that moment.
Mel is an incredibly talented photographer and captures people, places, and things with a beauty that often takes my breath away. I’m so glad to have the privilege of following her art and having her share it with us! ”

“Five years ago Mel first photographed our family when my youngest daughter was born. She captured some of the most beautiful photos of our newborn and amazingly brought out the biggest smiles in our then rather shy 3 year old. Mel has a warmth and energy about her that puts everyone at ease during the photo session. Because of this she is able to capture the most genuine, happy family moments with her camera. We have used Mel just about every year since, and we cherish the photos of us as a family and especially of our girls. The photographs so uniquely portray their personalities year to year in a way that makes me feel like I’ve been able to freeze a little bit of time whenever I look back at them. I know that Mel’s photos are something that we will cherish forever. For the amazing work she does, Mel is incredibly fairly priced and has always provided beautifully edited photos to us with a very short turn around time. She is one in a million! ”

“We have been lucky to work with Mel several times. The energy she puts forward during her photo sessions is electrifying and contagious! She has a gift of winning over even the shiest of subjects. From a camera shy adult to a not so eager toddler. Mel has a fantastic ability to create a comfortable environment for all of us to shine. This always results in a gallery that exudes joy and most importantly is a true reflection of who we are as a family. Receiving a photo gallery from Mel, is one of my all time favorite things! We tend to pour over every image and fall in love with everything we see. Her attention to detail and ability to capture authentic picture perfect moments is unmatched. The photos we have from Mel are family treasures. She truly captures moments of time in our family’s history. Her work is priceless! We feel lucky to have had her visually document our family’s growth and love. Mel’s talent as a photographer and the service she provides is truly in a class of it own! ”
