2024 SCHEDULE

2024 Schedule At A Glance

let's explore and capture memories with your LOVED ONES that you will cherish as heirlooms forever. 

FAQ:

1) What should we do if we are not available on these dates?  You can always book my regular private sessions at a location, date, and time of your choice for $100 more! The beauty about these limited edition sessions is that you get a better price when booking on the days I'm scheduled to be at these spots with back-to-back sessions. 

2) Do you schedule for inclement weather? Yes, we will keep an eye on the weather and make adjustments as needed. However, these sessions will still take place rain or shine if you're down for the adventure! Rain and wind can add gorgeous elements into photos; all the rainbows I've captured have been on rainy days with a chance of sun. Just in case we need to change the timing or day of your session, it's a good idea to keep your schedule open!

3) What times are available for these back-to-back sessions? Depending on the session, I will let you know what time slots are available! Please let me know if you have a preference between sunrise, morning, afternoon, evening, or golden hour.

4) Will more sessions be added? Possibly! I recommend checking back here often for additional sessions being added throughout the year! 

5) Are the exact locations set in stone yet for your garden sessions? Since every garden blooms differently each year and I want us to attend the spot with the best blooms, I will keep you updated on the exact location within a week before your portrait session! As soon as I confirm the best location for your shoot, I will let you know!   

6) What happens if we're late? Unfortunately, we can't make up lost time since these are back-to-back sessions, so I recommend arriving at least 10-15 minutes early to ensure a proper start time and to make the most out of your session!

Where to begin... Melanie was a blessing to work with from the beginning, She was fast to respond, very open about her prices, extremely flexible, and arrived early to the location to begin mapping out the best route to use. Our son quickly warmed up to her bubbly personality and bright smile; let's be clear, this is HUGE when working with a two year old! We appreciate all of Melanie's time, talent, and encouragement during and following our session.

We had a wonderful experience taking family photos with Melanie! None of us love being in front of the camera, but Melanie made us all feel comfortable and at ease. She’s quick to respond, professional, and easy to work with. The whole experience was great, and the final photos are absolutely beautiful. We are so grateful for what Melanie was able to capture! Thanks again!

Melanie is fantastic. She's light, happy, sweet, and natural. Melanie provides a great environment where you feel comfortable being yourself, which allows her to capture real candid moments that you can cherish forever. Our session really did remind me how much I love him.. almost like falling in love all over again. Melanie will always be my go to for major events in my life, so that I am able to experience it over and over again, and feel just as I did in the moment she captured it. Thank you for the unforgettable experience you bring with you wherever you go Melanie ❤

First of all, a great attitude goes a very long way. In my opinion, it's the most important part of customer service. Melanie only shows the greatest and most positive attitudes especially in a work environment. My experience with her was with my sister and her family photos. The venue chosen tho a little far, was WELL worth the scenery. The sun had JUST broken through the smoke screen we had for a couple weeks. Melanie captured incredible moment shots.
 

Things meant to last in only memory and she got them on print!
5/5 will recommend her for anyone needing ANY professional photography!

When we decided to do maternity and infant photos with Melanie we had no clue how great they would turn out! Never having done them with our first 2 kids we wanted it to be fun but casual but exciting....the experience was definitely all 3! The pictures turned out equally well, I love all the natural light, she has such a good eye for it! Definitely would recommend Melanie, and so would my kids! Every time they see the pictures they ask if she will come back and color with them. 

Definitely would recommend Melanie, and so would my kids!

Melanie did a perfect job of capturing the natural beauty of a park setting and of capturing each of our personalities in the photos she took. Our family isn't very comfortable in front of the camera and Melanie immediately made us feel at ease and helped us pose just enough to look pulled together but also really natural. I am so grateful for the beautiful way Melanie captured the light of the afternoon sun, the colors of a perfect fall day, and the happiness on our kid's faces. 

Melanie is a joy to work with, professional, kind, and a really, really excellent photographer!
