The vine
Tucked away in Acworth, The Vine is a hidden gem owned by my kids’ beloved elementary school PE teacher. This gorgeous property gives us everything we need for effortless, story-filled images—soft light, wide open fields, a tree swing begging to be used, and the rich colors of fall all around. If we’re lucky, a few chickens might even wander through to add their own touch of charm. These sessions are all about slowing down, soaking in the season, and letting your family’s story unfold against a backdrop that feels both timeless and full of life.

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.

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.

"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."
