Melanie is the BEST. She has done both my maternity and newborn sessions. She always makes us feel comfortable while working with her, and puts so, so much effort and creativity into her shoots. She has a great creative eye and knows what kind of feel and image she’s going for with each individual shot while also making sure to keep her clients ideas and opinions in mind as well. Her studio is clean and safe. We will be clients for life, and I will continue to go to her for all our photo needs.

Melanie has taken photos for my family several times. First, she was able to accommodate my very last minute request for my daughter's 1st birthday photos and the turn around time was impressive. Next, she took maternity photos when I was pregnant with baby girl #2 and I am obsessed with how they turned out. She found a gorgeous sunflower field to shoot in, at the perfect time of the day. She was so patient working with my 2 year old throughout the shoot, too.
