Welcome
I am fueled by faith, family, and a deep love for storytelling through expressive and timeless photography.
My heart is for capturing the fleeting moments that become lifelong treasures—images that don’t just sit on a screen, but grow into family heirlooms. Whether you’re celebrating the milestone of senior year or embracing the beauty of family life, my approach is simple: create a relaxed, natural experience that magnifies the blessings and grace the Lord has poured into your story.
Together, we’ll preserve the joy, connection, and meaning of this season—memories that will only grow more precious with time.
Hey there, I'm Melanie! A Texas native, wife to my husband Jonathan, and mom to two little girls (AKA Ritter and Tiny) who keep life full of laughter and love! Faith and family are at the heart of everything I do.
When I’m not behind my lens, you'll find me enjoying simple delights - thrift store treasure hunting, baking sourdough in my 1990s kitchen, or perfecting the art of filling and abandoning my online shopping carts.
My work as a Tulsa photographer is rooted in the joy of family and the moments that matter most. These are the memories worth holding onto—not just on your camera roll, but in your hands and on your walls. I’d be honored to help you preserve your story in a way that lasts.
As a mom to two girls, I know the beauty in the everyday and that feeling of wanting to bottle it all up before it changes. I also know how all the little decisions in motherhood can add up and make something fun feel like just another thing on the list.
That’s why I’m here to help with it all—what to wear, where to go, how to make it feel natural, and provide beautiful ways to experience your images beyond the screen. So you can relax and actually enjoy the process.
My favorite part is turning those real, unguarded moments into beautiful, finished pieces you can hold, display, and enjoy for years to come.
"MELANIE HAS A CALMING PRESENCE"
The sessions are easy-going and we are always amazed by the little moments and details she captures. Beyond her talent, Melanie has a calming presence and is very easy to be around — she also has kiddos of her own so understands how to navigate tiny unwilling participants. We will hire her for our family photos for many years to come — her captures are truly something I treasure as a wife and mother.
