Hello! I'm Melanie
I am a photographer based in Gloucester, Virginia, specializing in bright and true to color photography. I've always had a passion for capturing moments and serving others, and I love being able to combine the two through photography. I am a firm believer that every moment matters, especially the ones that last only a few seconds. So often we get caught up in the stress and chaos of life, so much so that we forget to cherish these tender moments! I strive to preserve these moments filled with love, laughter, and happiness so that you can treasure these times, and your generations afterwards can appreciate a life well lived.
Why photos matter
My Family
“means the world to me. I cherish every single moment and every single memory I have with them!
I lost my father at 24 and a brother 2 years later, so having photos to look back on, to laugh at, to enjoy, mean more than I can express.
We didn't take professional images often, but I love the stories that these tell. I'm the youngest of 4 kids, so that's me on the bottom right!”
This is Our Story!
This is me and my husband on our wedding day! 8 years prior in the winter of 2008 we met. I was in middle school at the time, and I honestly never believed our relationship would go anywhere. And yet here we are 8 years married in 2024. We have 2 dogs - Odie (who looks and acts just like the Garfield dog!) and Paisley, and a cat named Kit Kat. We love country life and our families, and board games are the next best thing to sliced bread! Hiking is our favorite thing to do on the weekends, when not busy with photos and other projects of course! We love trying new things and traveling, and our goal is to visit every state at least once!
