Hi, I'm Melanie!
I'm a Space Force spouse and mama to 3 of the most amazing little girls! We are currently stationed in Colorado Springs, CO, but we've bounced around the U.S. for the last 17 years on our military adventure. I graduated from Colorado State University and continued on to become a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer through the University of Colorado. I absolutely loved ultrasound but found that I was longing for something different after several military moves and adding 3 littles to the mix! My girls were the main driving force behind pursuing my dream of owning my own business. 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 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.
