Hello, I am Mel and I might be your photographer.

For the beautifully ordinary parts of life

Not every photograph needs a monumental reason behind it.

Sometimes you simply want to remember your family as they are right now.

The messy hair. The crooked smiles. The teenager who insists they hate photographs. The dog who absolutely refuses to cooperate. The grandparents. The new baby. The people you love in the middle of an ordinary Tuesday.

These photographs matter too.

Because ordinary has a funny habit of becoming remember when?

My goal isn't to manufacture perfect moments.

It's to photograph the real ones—and make them beautiful.

For the moments we wish we had more time with.

If you're not sure which type of session is right for you, that's okay.

You don't need to know exactly what you need before you contact me.

Tell me a little about what's happening, what you're hoping to remember, or simply what brought you here.

We'll figure out the rest together.
