Testimonials
Mel is definitely gifted AND talented. She seamlessly guided my family on our first shoot when I was around 37 weeks pregnant. She was super nice to our 9 and 4 year old boys and they STILL to this day ask about her! "Mom can we take pics with the photographer so she can give us a lollipop?" :) She captured our interests beautifully and made our photos come alive.
Do you shoot destination weddings?
(01)
I LOVE to travel!! Where we going??
Will there be a second shooter?
(02)
It depends which package you choose, but depending on your needs, I may throw one in there anyways ;)
Can I extend the session on the day of?
(03)
Sure! Just let me know 2 hours prior to your session so I can plan accordingly #MomLife
What kind of gear do you use?
(04)
My main camera is a Canon 80D with 50mm, 85mm, 18-55mm, and 35mm lens (but my 50 & 85 are my babies). I have a Canon 5D Mark II as my back-up, my first love.
Do I have to order prints through you?
(05)
Not as of now, you order wherever you prefer, however, I recommend you order through a high quality print lab. It is affordable and ensures your images are printed at High Res.
What should I wear for my session?
(06)
I will send out a styling guide with your booking info that will help choosing the perfect outfits! Remember, you want to avoid being too matchy, instead, coordinate!
How can I pay?
(07)
We accept Venmo, Cashapp, Apple Pay or PayPal for deposit and then the rest can be the same or cash as long as it's paid before we start shooting.
Do you pose newborns?
(08)
Our newborn sessions are Lifestyle meaning more natural. I do not pose newborns since I am not trained and will not take the risk with your precious babe.
How long until I receive my images?
(09)
Look I get it, you're anxious to see how they turned out! Especially when you were in love with your session! ;) I do my best deliver your gallery within a week (even though my contract says 2 because, mom life)...Weddings within a month!
