Minis for the playful at heart

Capturing moments that feel alive because your story is meant to be told, not staged. These aren’t stiff, posed portraits- NO! They’re little stories told in joy, motion, and magic. Come ready to laugh, move, and make memories that feel as good as they look.

Hey there, I'm melanie -- Your go to gal for creative storytelling sessions in the Atlanta, GA area.

I’m someone who dives deep into life, loves with my whole heart, and finds magic in the little moments most people overlook. I believe joy is found in the real and the raw—not in chasing perfection, but in embracing the beauty of our perfectly imperfect selves. Photography, for me, is about capturing the laughter, the chaos, the tenderness, and the truth of your story. Because when we show up as our truest selves, that’s when the most beautiful images come to life.

THE WORD AROUND TOWN IS:

DON'T JUST TAKE IT FROM ME

"Never felt as comfortable taking pictures as I did with Melanie. "

"And my pictures turned out BEAUTIFUL. I am so glad she helped me capture such an important time in my life."




-Marisol Morales

"I was not looking for stiff, cheesy headshots and I couldn't be happier with the beautiful images she delivered!"

" I felt so confident and cool, and have never loved images of myself more. I would highly recommend Melanie for anyone looking for artistic, creative branding."

-Alex Questo

"We LOVE working with Melanie! "

"She has boundless energy, superhuman patience, and her photos are absolutely beautiful. No matter how crazy the session may feel with 3 little kids, she somehow never fails to take amazing pictures of our family."

-Erin Baker
