Welcome
Motherhood is sacred work. You’re pouring yourself out daily, and it can be hard to slow down long enough to see the beauty in it. You want photos that help you remember the blessing this season truly is. That’s where I come in.
Fueled by faith, family, and a deep love for storytelling, I offer a done-for-you photography experience that eases decision fatigue and takes the pressure off - so you can focus on the people who matter most. My sessions are laid-back, natural, and centered on connection.
Whether you’re celebrating senior year or soaking in everyday family life, we’ll create expressive, timeless images that grow into heirlooms. Photos you'll love today and artwork you'll enjoy for years to come.
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 myself, I am familiar with the feeling of wanting to bottle them up! 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 you 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. You can relax, focus on your family, and actually enjoy the seamless and stress-free process.
My favorite part is turning those real, unguarded moments into beautiful, finished pieces your family 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.
