Hi Sweet Friend!

I'm so glad you're here!

 

I'm Mel!

 

I'm a wedding and lifestyle family photographer based in Frederick, MD.

 

I love creating and capturing genuine, candid moments. We do this by playing lots of games during a lot of our time together. Don't worry I'm there directing you every step of the way with posing and prompts! 

 

I love working with my families and wedding couples to create timeless and heart felt moments they will never forget. 

​

About me:

 

In 2012, when my son was about 4 months old I was obsessed with document every little thing he did. But I hated my iPhone photos (basement lighting in our apartment didn't help) and I couldn't very well hire someone to come in every week.

 

SOOOO I enrolled in the University of Google and taught myself how to use a fancy shmancy camera!

 

My now two toddlers Liam (5) and his little sister Harper (3) are the inspiration behind this business. They keep me on my toes and keep my "look at the camera and smile for mommy" game on point! (We play lots of games! Ask any of my #melkayfamilies)

 

It takes a seasoned toddler wrangler to photograph other toddlers amiright?!?

​

I so look forward to capturing the everyday extraordinary moments of your family & your love story!
