Besides being a very warm, welcoming individual, Melanie has a terrific artistic eye. I've done 2 photo shoots with Melanie and wouldn't hesitate to book her again.
First photo shoot was an airbrush-and-photo session last January, which was far more fun & more exciting than I expected. From giving specific driving directions via cell phone as I approached her studio, to choosing an airbrush artist fully capable of relating to the individual photo subjects, to creating a comfortable atmosphere in her home studio, Melanie is a class act and a true professional. The other subject I met that day were equally taken with the idea and the execution of each shoot.
Second photo shoot was my product (not her chosen focus, but she excelled nonetheless), since I needed several high-resolution shots to use on my website and in my print brochure. I felt that Melanie totally understood how to capture images that showed off my product's best qualities. She asked a few questions about how I wanted to use the images, suggested some settings that she thought would do just that, then got right to work. Of course she has professional lighting and all that, most photographers have all that. What she really has that sets her apart is a great manner and an obvious desire for collaboration. Totally valuable qualities, if you want someone to do image editing/manipulation that you can't do!
I've seen several of her prints from boudoir shoots and would absolutely choose this artist if I ever schedule a boudoir shoot for myself. The way she captures each subject's beautiful qualities and nature is darn impressive. Makes me want to be one of those subjects, because I have absolute confidence that Melanie can/will capture my nature in a way that delights me and the lucky recipients of prints! read more
