“Melanie is the best! From wedding photos to family portraits, she’s captured some of our most treasured moments, all while keeping everyone happy and effortlessly managing the photo shoot. Her experience, professionalism, and warm and calming demeanor puts everyone at ease. She’s the person you want with you on your wedding day, and the person you want when your two year old doesn’t feel like sitting still anymore. We can’t express enough how truly awesome she is, and how amazing her photos are!”

“We all want to capture the moments that make our hearts sing.  Melanie has done so much more than take our pictures, she’s helped us with one of the most important part of our lives – our family story.  From our wedding through the exciting chapters of our kid’s lives, she’s helped us build the memories we treasure.”

“We used Melanie for engagement photos, wedding photos, pregnancy photos, and newborn photos. Every time we came away with the best pictures we have ever had. We kept coming back to Melanie because she made us feel so comfortable, yet had such a great result. Melanie was able to get a genuine smile from my husband--not just the goofy one!--and make us both look better than we do in real life. At our wedding, Melanie organized both of our families for the group photos in a pleasant, yet firm way. …We couldn't have been happier with her. “
Melinda Young

“We interviewed a lot of people but Melanie made the biggest impression on us. We feel very fortunate that Melanie was able to be our photographer, she made everything very easy for us and the end product exceeded our expectation. Melanie is very professional and organized, she always did the things she said she was going to do, when she said she was going to them. This took a lot of pressure off of us when coordinating everything else for our wedding, we knew we could count on her. Melanie took the time to listen to what we wanted and the end result was exactly what we were looking for. During the wedding and reception Melanie seemed to be everywhere and nowhere at the same time. She was never in the way but got amazing pictures of everything and everybody. The pictures really capture the essence of the day and are something we will cherish forever. Melanie is truly a gifted photographer and was a pleasure to work with, we couldn’t have asked for anything better. “

“[Melanie] always seems to find the right location to capture us at our best. She always accommodates our special requests with enthusiasm. …What we especially love about Melanie is her patience and ability to engage our kids with a participative approach. We tried retail portrait studios before finding Melanie and have come to appreciate the difference working with a true professional makes! We are delighted to recommend Melanie. “

Dana Gribble

“You were truly a pleasure to work with -everyone thought so. … it was a bit chaotic before the ceremony, but you kept a level head and we really appreciate it. I had several guests tell me how unobtrusive you were, while moving around a lot. “
Laura Grout

“We are so pleased with our engagement and wedding photos! Melanie truly wanted us to have the best experience possible and everything from paperwork to picture days was very positive. Her photography is classic, fun, tasteful, and artistic. Our family could not have a wedding without her, too! She photographed my sister's wedding in 2004, our wedding in March of 2008, and my other sister's wedding in September of 2008. We highly recommend Melanie to all of our family and friends as she is a professional, kind photographer who truly captured all of the special moments on our wedding day.”
