Anyone that’s on the fence about hiring Melinda…. I get it. It’s a lot on top of an already insanely expensive wedding.

But your gut is right. You’re spending A LOT on a wedding. And except for the husband you get to keep, the only other thing that lasts is the photos….

AND OH MY GOD.

They are amazing. They are iconic. They make me look at them and wonder if that’s really me. They make me look at them and start misting again.

In short…. The photos are everything. And you need to go with your gut. Spend the money. Hire her. Re-live the day of your dreams every time you look at the photos.

And no. I wasn’t sponsored. I paid full price and I’d do it all over again and again.

Melinda was an absolute joy to work with. She was extremely responsive and helpful leading up to the shoot and just as helpful while we were shooting. Melinda made me feel extremely comfortable and was able to capture the most amazing maternity photos that I will cherish forever. I would recommend her to anyone. Her professionalism and personality make her stand out from the rest ✨💯

Melinda is a joy to work with! She's very personable and really helps make you feel comfortable while she's photographing. Considering we only met once, it was pretty important that I felt comfortable in order to get the best photos as I am never one that likes to be in front of the camera. I'd rather always be taking the pictures (even though I'm not a professional by any means).

We have had the blessing of finding Melinda after our photographer moved away a couple of years back. So far we have done two photo shoots, one family and one Senior shoot, with her and and both have turned out absolutely amazing. She is extremely professional, patient , kind and accommodating. I am so happy we found a photographer that fits with our families personality and helps us capture the special moments in our lives.

Melinda did an amazing branding session with me for my Yoga page and I couldn’t be happier!

She made me feel comfortable and helped me to create some beautiful content for my website.

When doing a shoot, it’s super important to me to feel like I can connect with the person behind the camera lens and feel in my element and it was so easy with her. She’s a very easy going person 🙂

I couldn’t recommend her more!

I had a fantastic time taking photos with Melinda. She made the process very painless for me as I am not a fan of photos. My fiancé loved her and how the photos came out! 10/10 would take photos with her again!

I highly recommend Melinda as a local photographer. Melinda took family pictures and individual pictures of my 3 kids. She was very professional and offered her insight on different poses and locations within Croton Gorge Park. She was patient and fun and we love the shots she captured of the kids and our family. I will be using her again for future pics.

If you're looking for a local photographer Melinda is definitely the best option. I've never had professional pictures taken of me and she made me feel beautiful and confident. The pictures came out phenomenal, and I look forward to doing another shoot.

Melinda was wonderful for my surprise engagement shoot. Before the session she had scouted out the location as well as made sure it was clear for the occasion. The photos came out wonderful.
