The Process

Melinda is the sweetest! She made me feel comfortable and at ease during my professional headshots photo session. It was fun and her work is so amazing. The pictures came out so beautiful. I was at awe when I seen all my pictures on the slideshow. I definitely recommend her. She is very professional and kind.

I had the best experience at Melinda’s studio. She is professional and super creative. I love that her package included hair and makeup. The makeup artist did a great job. Melinda made the session super fun. She gave me the confidence I needed to pose comfortably. Now I have wonderful pictures that I can use for work profiles, work events, social media or to hang at home.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Melinda for a photoshoot, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional.
From the moment we began discussing the shoot, Melinda demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism and attentiveness. She took the time to understand my vision, preferences, and the specific atmosphere I wanted to capture.
During the shoot, Melinda exuded a calm and composed demeanor, which created a comfortable environment. This played a vital role in bringing out the best in me, as I felt at ease and confident throughout the session. Her expertise in directing poses and finding the perfect angles resulted in a diverse range of shots that truly encapsulated my personality and conveyed the desired narrative.
Working with Melinda was an absolute pleasure, and I would highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a skilled photographer.

There are few professional photographers as dedicated to the art as Melinda. I needed a few professional portraits taken and contacted many studios in the area, but Melinda stood apart from the rest. Her professionalism, technical knowledge, attention to the smallest detail, and warmth, making sure you're at ease through the entire process, truly makes her an exemplary photographer. No other photographer would have gone the extra mile to get the perfect shot. Melinda truly loves what she does, and I strongly recommend her.
