WHERE YOUR STORY TAKES ROOT
What we create together isn't just a collection of photos, it's the feeling of what your life looks like right now.
During your session, I guide you gently when you need it and step back when you don't, letting it all unfold in your own rhythm
"I have done multiple sessions with Mellie and she is an absolute gem! She's the only person I call for all of our important photos and capturing memories!"
YOUR EXPERIENCE
1. INQUIRY & PLANNING
Once your inquiry lands in my inbox, I’ll reach out personally to start bringing your vision to life. We’ll chat about everything that matters: your family, your story, and the kind of feeling you want your session to hold.
Together, we’ll work together to find the perfect location, time, and date to capture your story perfectly.
When we’ve finalized your details, I’ll send over your booking link, invoice, and contract. Once you pay your $100 retainer, your session is secured and you’ll receive styling guidance and access to my complimentary client closet.
2. YOUR SESSION EXPERIENCE
Your session is designed to feel natural; no stiff posing, no rush, just movement, laughter, and connection. I’ll gently guide you when needed and let real moments unfold when they want to. Think of it less as a photoshoot and more as time spent together, where you can be fully present while I capture it all.
3. GALLERY DELIVERY
Your full gallery will be delivered within 2-3 weeks, hand-edited with care and intention. Each image is thoughtfully refined so your gallery feels cohesive, timeless, and true to your story. I usually send out a preview gallery within 48-72 hours after your session to keep you at bay until you get the finale!
