Meet Melisine

I am a pro photographer for some of the most coveted brands in the world.

My mission is to help you express your most authentic self and make memorable images.

I help clients feel seen first within themselves, then in their images. My portfolio website is melisinestudio.com.

We will go beyond typical photography classes, utilizing my extensive experience with coaching, healing, art therapy, mindset, and personal growth work.

Melisine's Photography Process:
Easy, Stress-free, and Fun!

My specialty is helping you feel relaxed and confident while
creating your vision, learning to take beautiful photos, and also being photographed.

No special preparation is required! You can just be yourself!

We will chat about what images you would like, and come up with a plan together.

Clients say Melisine's process
feels inspiring and joyful.

So simple!

"Mel made the whole process so simple.

Mel really held my hand and helped every step of the way - from the style and content of the photos to locations, selecting outfits, and even posing.

Her guidance and expertise were so valuable. And the results speak for themselves! I couldn't be happier!"

Uplevel your photos!

Because Mel has worked for such high-end brands, she knows how to stage the coveted shots you have always wanted that can move your photos to the next level.

Mel's greatest gift is her ability to let her lens be intimate with the essence of who you are.
She uses the camera as a mirror to reflect a person's essential spirit.

She brings out the beauty and light in every single situation! And every person!"

- Suzanne Kingsbury
Master Writing and Publishing Coach
Founder of Gateless Writing Inc.

Felt so safe and relaxed!

"When we met for the shoot, I didn’t really know how to pose, to smile, to look … But as soon as Melisine told me that I could move just naturally, within seconds I felt so safe and relaxed, that I totally forgot about the camera and actually had … fun!

I thought there might be three or four pictures I would like and could use for professional purposes, but oh, was I wrong.

Within 10 minutes she managed to take 200 pictures of me that I liked. That is more than all the photos I like of me of my whole life combined.

This experience wasn’t just a photo shoot. It was a transformation, as it helped me to see my inner and outer beauty, to feel wonderful within my body and with my face. It gave me a lot of confidence. "

My advice to anyone considering taking their dream to the next level is to allow Mel capture the heart and soul of you and your work -- she will not disappoint!"

Trust Melisine to portray women in the highest manner of respect

"I am so pleased to recommend Mel, an incredible photographer with a unique eye.

Women in our collective trusted to her to portray them in the highest manner of respect.

Because of this trust, women were able to be truly vulnerable around her, making the process feel authentic.

Mel and I worked closely to shoot editorial work for Adidas Women, Samsung, and VICE over two years.

I love Mel's work and I love Mel!"
