My style is simple yet elegant. I enjoy capturing the unexpected. I have created a client-friendly environment and love making memories. Based in Williamsburg, Virginia, I am blessed to have so much. I am finally stationary after years of bouncing around the globe with my brave military family. I believe my journey has allowed me to see the world in a unique way and its reflected in the way I see things through the lens. I feel being part of the fabric of the community is what connects me to what matters most... your moments. I like to think that my super power is Invisibility - I strive to obtain the best shot without being seen.

Melanie is amazing. She saved the day for my small, elegant beach elopement…read more I had been speaking to photographers for months and couldn't find anyone that I liked their work enough to hire who was available with less than a year's notice. In comes Melanie, who I happened to find by accident through a Yelp promo email. She had another shoot earlier in the day, but bc we were doing a later beach elopement ceremony and reception, she could do it! Signing the contract and working out all the details online and via email was easy. She sent me some paperwork to give her details and then we had a phone conversation to discuss and get to know one another. On the day of - she texted me, showed up exactly on time, and was a dream to work with. So friendly, so kind, so helpful. She went above and beyond for me and my family and was so easygoing. She posed us wonderfully and rolled with the punches when a few things didn't go as planned (it's a wedding, it's going to happen!). Absolutely professional. The photos we've been given so far as a preview are stunning and I can't wait to see the others. Everyone raved about how kind she was and how much they liked our photographer afterwards, and when we've sent a few photos, they've all been blown away. I feel lucky to have found Melanie, and her husband Chris, to shoot my day and would recommend her to anyone who asked me for any photos. If we need family portraits or special pics taken in the future, she's our girl!

Once you get a session with her, it will be impossible to work with any other photographers. She shot many special occasions for me throughout the years but my favorite ones will always be the ones with my pups. Never mind how comfortable she makes you in front of the camera on your wedding day, you should see her in action capturing absolute best moments of very uncooperative dogs, idk how but she makes it happen! She is always open to trying out new themes and having fun! a professional with a true passion for her work. Looking forward to many more sessions in future!

The…read morephotos, taken at various iconic spots on the W&M campus, were great and we are thrilled at the good quality of the photos. Mike is professional, very pleasant, and easy to work with. His prices are excellent; particularly in comparison with some of the other Williamsburg photographers who I thought were overpriced. He did not rush us through the 2 hour session and we were able to go to all the campus sites we wanted. We had him print the images and he did a great job with that as well. Recommend him highly.
