TESTIMONIALS 

"Hands down the best photographer I’ve ever worked with! Melanie is phenomenal at communicating, very responsive, super creative, and is so patient with little ones! She’s captured all of our family’s precious moments over the last couple of years and I can’t recommend her enough!"

"Melanie is not just an incredible photographer but a beautiful person. During the 4 hour newborn photography session, I was able to witness her craft and it was beautiful to see how much passion was put into making every shot perfect. She kept my daughter so calm and was so patient whenever a feeding break was needed. The pictures look like they should be in magazines! Worth every penny and time!"

"I wish I could give more stars to Melanie as her work is incredible. We have 2 boys under the age of 4 so I was expecting family photos to be a nightmare- NOPE! Melanie had several location suggestions to go to and described all of them (including one very close to our home which we chose) and was able to capture tons of great shots in less than 30 minutes. She was able to direct us into comfortable poses which put us all at ease. All of our photos turned out fantastic. I have had other professional photo shoots over that past few years and Melanie’s work has been my favorite."

"Melanie is fantastic for any photo needs! She has taken amazing headshots for me (twice!) including editing one to exactly match the background in headshot photos of my colleagues in a Chicago law office. Amazing! And she edited a photo of my husband to fit the requirements for his official Navy officer photo. She also took our family photos and was so amazing with our 4 girls under 4. Highly recommend Melanie for families, especially with lots of littles! She is so talented with photo taking, photo editing, and she is so sweet, communicative, and super prompt. I can’t recommend her enough!"

"Melanie did my boys' birthday pics and I could not love them more. My boys are very different children and I love that she captured their individual personalities and didn't try to force them into someone they weren't. Everyone was comfortable the whole shoot and she was so patient (especially with my feisty younger one lol). She worked with what I wanted, found a location that was best for our needs and we never felt rushed. I loved that my pics were back in a timely fashion and I love her editing style. We will absolutely be using her again!!"

"Melanie definitely knows what she's doing and makes it feel effortless. Our family photo shoot only took about 30 minutes (not rushing at all) and she got so many pictures that I love in that short amount of time which was perfect for our baby. She asked me what I wanted out of it. I told her the background I liked, and she delivered. She was also so good with my sometimes grumpy little man. He woke up fussy before the shoot, and she still managed to capture smiles. She even captured some candid photos of our family that were so cute! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and would love to use her again in the future."

"Melanie did our engagement photos and she is still finishing them up we absolutely LOVE them! She was very efficient and had the perfect spot in mind. My fiancé and I wanted a Colorado Country feel to them and she absolutely captured that. The sneak peek picture I have shown family and friends are beautiful and everyone has said how much they love them. If you want a photographer that comes in with good ideas of her own but then also will listen to poses you want Melanie is the perfect person for the job!!!! As you'll see from this page she is also very versatile in what types of pictures she is able to do. Thank you again so much Melanie for helping us capture our engagement!"
