I document life as it happens.I tell stories with my camera. My style is a combo of directed and uns Hello there. I am Mel, and thank you for visiting.

Permanently closed.

I have been a photographer for two years now as a profession, and a hobbyist for over 15 years. Stories are important to me, they are what connects us to our memories, our past, our lives. I love to capture genuine moments, and piece them together to create your story. My style is a combination of directed and unscripted photographs. I love to capture the moments when you think no one is looking.

The moment that you forget about the camera and just be in your happy place, the genuinely real moments in life. Just be yourself, and I will be there guiding you, capturing your story as it unfolds. Please contact me if you wish to chat about having me capture a part of your story, in the most genuine way. I look forward to meeting with you and being a part of your story.

Pottery on repeat during my internal winter.

Wishing you a very hygge Sunday.

Practice an internal winter.

Let the noise fall away like fresh snow.
Slow your pace.

Lower your voice inside.
Nothing needs to bloom right now.

Rest is not quitting, it’s gathering strength beneath the surface.

In the quiet of a snowy day, remember:
stillness is doing something important.

UTTER
mountain
SWEETNESS.

There’s something magical about wrapping your hands around a steaming mug of delicious coffee on a crisp fall day in the mountains.

The air carries that unmistakable bite, sharp and clean, tinged with the scent of pine and earth.
It fills your lungs differently up here, lighter somehow, as if each breath is filtered through the golden and crimson colors that blanket the hillsides.

And then there’s the coffee. Not just any coffee, but that perfect cup, the one where everything aligns.

The water temperature hits just right. The grounds steep for exactly the right amount of time. That first sip delivers a warmth that spreads from your chest outward, meeting the cool air on your face in perfect contrast.
You cradle the mug a little tighter as a breeze rustles through the trees, sending a cascade of amber leaves spiraling down.
The world feels quieter up here, like the mountains themselves are wrapped in a cozy blanket of stillness. No rush. No noise.

Just you, your coffee, and the mountains dressed in their autumn finest.

If you are familiar with Brevard then you know where your perfect cup of coffee comes from! Hands down is the one for me!

And I’m so excited that they now have a sweet little mobile coffee caravan! The shoot was so much fun, and I’m so grateful they allowed me to do it!

And of course the name is perfect! “Lil Betty” is the cutest coffee slinging caravan !

SEASONS
come and
SEASONS GO.

There’s something about the in-between seasons that mirrors life itself. That pause between what was and what’s coming next.

I’ve been learning that the quiet moments—the ones where nothing seems to be happening—are actually where everything changes.
In photography, it’s the stillness before the shutter clicks.
That breath where you really see what’s in front of you. In life, it’s the early mornings with coffee, the walks where your mind finally settles, the evenings where you just sit and let the day wash over you.

We rush from season to season, project to project, moment to moment.
But lately I’m finding that clarity doesn’t come from the noise. It comes from the pause. From giving myself permission to just be still and observe.

The lens teaches me this over and over: slow down, wait for the light, find the frame. Life’s been teaching me the same lesson.

Here’s to the quiet.
Here’s to the shift in my life’s season.
Here’s to seeing clearly.

EMMA + CHRIS
PART DEAUX
🪩

Reception dance floors are truly where the magic happens!

One minute it’s a polite sway, the next it’s a full blown dance off.
Strangers become partners, friends become hype squads, and the shyest guests turn into the night’s MVPs.

There’s something about good music, laughter, and a little letting loose that turns moments into memories and it’s one of my favorite parts to capture.

Emma and Chris created such a vibe for their guests!

I’m pretty sure I left having a huge crush on Emma‘s mom! She was truly the real MVP dancing Queen of the night!

Inflatable disco 🪩’s and fog machines are a must have!

WITHOUT
further ado…

I give you a peek from Mr. & Mrs. Petruccelli

Long overdue, but worth the wait 🤍
Finally sharing the magic from Emma and Chris’s unforgettable wedding day!
These two are pure joy, and their celebration was filled with laughter, happy tears, and all the love in the world.

I have so many favorites from their day! Consider this the first of two posts because I can’t possibly fit all the beauty into one!

A bit quiet over here on the photo side of things, just contemplating a lot of things surrounding my photography business.
But, I’m ALIVE and well, just doing some quiet thinking.

EUROPE.

Specifically Italy 🇮🇹 brought so much laughter and lessons!

When…..

Trying to figure out the rail system.

When I sent us to the wrong ferry.

When I had my hubby schlep my 1000 bag up three flights of stairs made for small humans.

Dragging large suitcases across a city with cobblestone walkways and professional formula one drivers speeding down the tiniest streets. (Because I chose the wrong train to arrive on).

Almost decorating the uber van (plus Walt+ Madds) with vomit.

Turning Walt’s extra suitcase (that I called him bougie over) into a cargo bag for an entire Italian grocery store.

Thought I was loosing my MIND when I’d be woken up in the middle of the night by LOUD footsteps running up and down the stairs. Y’all 👀 this Villa easily had to be centuries old.

Eating veal (more than once), devouring olives like they were candy, adopting the Italian mentality of PREGO!

The list goes on….

Bottom line. SO MANY life changing experiences and moments happened in Italy.

I went as a Pilgrim (not a tourist) with burning questions that needed to be answered. I soaked up as much of Italy as I could, and I want MORE.

As I sit here impatiently waiting on some film scans to come in from that trip.

I’m scrolling through beautiful BTS from snagged as the Photographer for and these images were my favorite because happiness is literally OOZING from my pores!

Stay tuned for film + digital from this beautiful experience!

JOY
filled
BRIDE.

If you live in our area, then I can only hope that you have had a chance to meet one of the sweetest, most kind hearted, most joyful humans in our county!

Emily married her sweetheart a few weekends ago and I can honestly say that she was the most joy filled Bride that I have ever seen!

A smile never left her face, even when tiny hiccups occurred, she pushed through with a smile and a genuinely happy heart.

She looked stunning in her dress, and all of her details were just absolutely perfect!

From the Maid’s dresses, to her flowers, the beautiful weather, all the way down to the gorgeous handmade boxes by her father!

If you see her around town, or at her new job at give her a big squeeze and tell her congratulations!

COMPLIMENT
gratefully
ACCEPTED.

A few days ago while on the phone with a local planner she said something to me that made my heart SO happy.

And I felt seen.

She told me that she loved that I captured moments that the couples nay not always notice on their day.
They are so busy being pushed and pulled in every direction, seriously everyone wants a piece of them!

I’m just grateful that as a Photographer I get the very MOST time with them, just comes with the job I guess ha ha!

BUT I also get to fall back and wait in the shadows, watching, observing, noticing.

It’s truly the best people watching at a wedding!
I get to capture little snippets of beauty that may go unnoticed, and I get to place it in their gallery.

There is meticulous planning, and creating that goes into making a couple’s day special, by the couple, the vendors, and the Mums!

I feel as though even the tiniest moments play a big part in the entirety of it all.

So I will take that compliment, and keep it in my heart.
