About Me

my backstory

Hi! I'm Melanie

I am a photographer located in Northeast Ohio. I first discovered my love for photography in high school, when I had the opportunity to complete a two-year career technical program. During my time in the program, I learned so much from developing my own film in a dark room to using the newest digital imaging techniques and editing software.
My passion for photography has only grown since then and was reignited when I became a mom which has given me a whole new perspective on the importance of photography.

My approach to photography


My approach to photography aims to capture real moments and priceless memories. It is very important to me that my clients feel comfortable during my sessions. I like to keep a laid-back atmosphere and I enjoy getting to know my clients so I can capture them in a way that shows their unique personalities. I am also not afraid to be silly and play games with your kids! I will NOT just sit your child down and tell them to "smile" and expect an authentic moment to happen. To me, photography means more than just a pretty picture. I believe a good photographer is someone who captures images that tell your story. Selecting the right photographer is not easy. Whether it is for your maternity, Newborn, or first birthday session, you put a lot of trust that your photographer will be able to capture those once-in-a-lifetime memories. I want to be the one you can rely on to preserve those special moments that can be revisited every time you view your photographs.


My editing style


My editing style is colorful! I love the use of color especially when photographing newborns & children. My editing can be described as colorful, joyful, full of contrast, and subtle warmth.

THE STUDIO

LOCATED IN GREEN, OHIO

Come to my studio located at my residence in Green, ohio near the akron canton airport. My studio space was built to be the perfect environment for newborn photography. I have a wide range of wraps, props, outfits, and accessories for babies. My studio is separate from my home and is kept clean, and safe for your session.

Book your session

Trust me, I know how much you want to hold onto every second

this time with your family is so important

As a mom of two, life seems to only speed up as I grow older. I often find myself wanting to pause and take in these moments I know I will look back on and cherish forever. Professional photography isn't just for significant events such as weddings, but the little moments in everyday life deserve to be documented.
