I'm Mel


My mom always had a camera in her hand when I was growing up- digital cameras, polaroids, and endless disposables developed at Walmart. Those were some of my favorites memories and now that I've become a mom, I have an iPhone that's always running out of storage because it's filled with many memories of my family and I. My husband gifted me a mirrorless camera in 2023 and it has somehow led to capturing love stories of many families through my lens.


I worked as a sonographer and loved working with patients and hearing their stories. I left to stay at home and raise my 2 daughters, who are my entire world. Becoming a mom pretty much changed everything for me and has inspired me to live a slower life, letting God lead our family. I never thought I would own a photography business, but I've built it based on my faith and love from the people in my life. Photography isn't just a job for me, it's slowing down the moments in your life that matter the most, and it's so beautiful! I hope these photos keep your memories alive for the years to come.
