"EVERYTHING WAS SEAMLESS"
The communication, instruction and guidance she offered made everything seamless. I am amazed at the way Melanie transformed the most ordinary spaces into beautiful settings! Thank you, Melanie, for a terrific experience and for capturing these awesome photos!
- Elise Archambo, mom of Bartlesville High School Senior
"SHE FULLY CAPTURED HIS PERSONALITY"
Melanie was amazing. She was able to connect with our 17 year old son, who was reluctant to have photos taken. Her work is amazing and she fully captured his personality and beautiful images that I will cherish. Forever grateful.
- Melanie Austin, mom of Bartlesville High School senior
"MELANIE IS YOUR GIRL"
Melanie is the BEST! This was my second time using her as my photographer - I couldn’t even think about using anyone else! She is caring with each conversation and you feel like best friends by the time [the session] is over! If you’re looking for a fun, easy-going photo shoot with the most perfect pictures, Melanie is your girl! She captures love and life so incredibly!
- Hannah Perry - OU Senior
"AN EXPERIENCE THAT IS COMFORTABLE AND FULL OF JOY"
Melanie is so amazing at creating an experience that is comfortable, uplifting, and full of joy! She truly cares about her clients. Her talent is easily seen through her pictures. I am so thankful Melanie captured pictures that I will cherish for a lifetime.

Downtown Bartlesville Senior PhotographY Session
A West Virginia boy who is as athletic as he is intelligent, has a fantastic sense of humor, AND he’s a Bartlesville High School 2022 senior! Meet Dayton!
While my typical shoots are 45 minutes to 1 hour in length, some seniors desire a little extra time. This means a more laid back, slower paced shoot with added bonuses!
Before our session, I sent Bethany a Bartlesville senior session questionnaire to get to know her and what she had in mind for our time together!
You're in the right place! Outfits and styling, selecting a location, and time of year all factor in to your final images. Upon booking, seniors receive client-exclusive guides to assist in planning. I'll lead you through every step of the process so you won't be left wondering, "what's next?"
Help! I've never done this before.
My mission is to capture the joy, excitement, and anticipation surrounding your senior year. I will guide and direct with specific prompts to ensure you feel and look confident. I had senior photos taken myself, so I've been in your shoes!
What is your shooting style?
I reserve several days each month for make-up dates. If rain, freezing temperatures, or high winds are forecasted on the day of your session, don't fret! We’ll chat about rescheduling and find a time that works for both of us.
What if it rains on the day of my session?
I will hand-select the best of the best images from your session, with no maximum number of photos. Most galleries include 60+ images! You’ll get an email with a link to your gallery once it’s finalized. From there, you’ll be able to download, share, and print photos straight from your gallery.
How many images Should I expect?
You’ll receive the best of the best images via online gallery within two weeks of our session date, or the week of graduation - whichever comes first.
How long will it take to get my photos after our session?
High school seniors typically schedule dates for September - November and March - April. I take a small, select group of OU seniors during the third week of April - spots are limited!
