Behind The Lens

Military wife and holistic Mama of 4 documenting family, birth and newborn sessions. Motherhood is my ministry and photography is my passion.

  • “Seriously, my favorite family pictures that have EVER been taken, came from her! She captured all of the playful in-between moments that I cherish” -Kirsten

  • "Melanie photographed my maternity and all I can I say is WOW. She captured each moment of my birth so beautifully. 10/10 recommend." -Gabby

  • "She is incredibly kind, patient, and compassionate during those crumbly moments that always seem to happen during photos with small children." -Anna

  • "We have used many photographers in the past, and she is our favorite! She is very personable, made us feel very comfortable, and did an excellent job with our toddler and engaging him in the session." -Kierra

  • “To say Melanie is amazing would be an understatement! My husband and I both can be quite picky when it comes to photography and when I say we both have nothing but good things to say about Melanie, it’s genuine.” -Hailey

  • “Her ability to make my husband (who tells to be camera shy) feel at ease was so wonderful. She's also incredibly talented as an event photographer. She's done great work for our church's women's events as well. Need next level media quality photographs? Book her!!!”—Kirsten K
