Hello!

Hello, my name is Melaina but my friends call me Mel! I'm from Ocean Springs, MS, however, I currently live in San Jose, CA. When I am not behind a camera, I enjoy baking, reading, and spending time with my friends, family, and pets. I have always had a love and desire for photos, but I never thought I would take on my own business doing something I love so much! I want to be the person to capture those beautiful life moments for you to remember forever! Welcome to my page & thank you for the opportunity!

Why hire me as your photographer?

Frankly, it doesn't have to be me, but get the photos done!

I love doing photography and I am so blessed to get to share my love with others in the most beautiful way. Truly, I believe you should find a photographer that you mesh with best. I try to provide a clear insight to my work & style, while also leaving the door open for change and other perspectives. I love taking how someone sees the world and making it just a bit more beautiful. Honestly, I only want you to hire me if you truly want to!
