Hi, I'm Melanie!
I'm a Space Force spouse and mama to 3 of the most amazing little girls! Colorado Springs is where I grew up and where we are currently stationed - but we've bounced around the U.S. for the last 16 years on our military adventure! I spent years working as a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer until I had my littles and my world changed and priorities shifted. They were the main driving force behind pursuing my dream of becoming an entrepreneur. Photography is not only a passion but a creative outlet and an incredibly fulfilling part of my life. I'm so lucky to have a job that fills my cup while also allowing me to work from home and not miss a moment with my girls!
I specialize in emotionally driven lifestyle photography. During your session you can expect to receive some traditional posed photos (everyone say "cheeeeeese!") but I live for capturing the moments between the poses: the natural laughter, playful moments, sweet touches and raw emotion. I want you to interact with one another and (try to) forget that I am even there - snuggle up, explore around or have a tickle fight... I want to tell YOUR story and capture the sweet details that makes your family special!
I would describe my editing style as romantic and warm. I'm a sun chaser and try to incorporate gorgeous, golden sun flares into every session that I'm able to. I also love contrast and shadows - creating the perfect balance of light and dark.
Say Hello!
