Hola! I’m Mel, life-excited, freedom-loving, wife, mama, photographer based in Austin, Texas. My days are shared with my big family, our flower garden & three happy pups. My family is EVERYTHING to me. I'm about soulful, truth-seeking energy- butterflies, hummingbirds, flowers, good books, gardening, bird watching, big dreams, homeschooling, decorating, baking, crafting, learning, and collecting pretty dresses. I've never met a stranger- cliche, but totally true. I'm the youngest old lady you'll probably ever meet. That is, I go to bed before the sun and wake up at the first sign of morning light!
I believe life is truly beautiful and we should have documentation of our journey here- of the colors, moods, emotions, highs, lows, feelings, and all the wondrous shades of the in-between. This art encourages me to be still, connect to the Divine and find joy in the present moment- which is essential to our peace in this ever chaotic and wild world!
PS. Fun Fact- I'm not on social media!
Satchels of Love,
ABOUT the artist
Mel
I hope so!
Let me share what may help you decide.
I love to create art, not just pictures. It's my goal to listen and learn from you, with you. Whether you have a vision in mind before contacting me or you need help conveying your vision in a photograph- I want to be a part of telling your story! I aspire to create beautiful keepsakes, because I believe our lives are worth capturing, telling, feeling, remembering. My hope is that you’ll trust my passion for creating authentic and meaningful work. If you are looking for a photographer that sees art in everyday moments, in the wind, in leaves and trees, in sun flare, in eyes, laughter, storytelling - I’m your girl. If that all sounds cheesy, well, I'm just that! Life excited with a side of cheesy! Also, I don't do social media- this site serves as my portfolio!
Let's tell your story!
P.S. I'm not the right fit if you're wanting a photographer to recreate Pinterest poses with balloons and rustic crates, cake smashes in a field. I'm also not your girl if you like the super filtered (heavy orange hues)type of editing/processing.
am I the right photographer for you?
