Hi, it’s me, Mel.

So there’s this weird thing that happens when I’m around babies where they start grinning. Something in the way their eyes light up transforms me into a big ole butterball of squeaky baby talk and silly faces.

I’ll let you in on a little secret: It works on grown ups too.

My reputation for picking on parents during family sessions is well earned. And I really hope you’re down to witness a tog-tantrum when your kiddo wont stop smiling even after I told em to knock it off.

For some reason everyone seems to like all of this nonsense and they keep asking me to hang out again and again. And again. Go figure.

What I’m best at:

• Lighting – I live to bring out the creamiest skin tones, the brightest sparkles in your eyes, and highlighting your best features.

• Editing – I have this philosophy about Photoshop: if you can’t tell it has been edited, I’ve done my job. By meticulously drawing your eye to the important part of the picture, my mission is to bring out the very best you.

• Engaging – See above.
