PHOTOGRAPHY BY MELINDA 

I have been a professional portrait photographer in Greenwood and Indianapolis Indiana for 37 years.  Passionate about the arts, but especially photography,  I studied at the Art Institiute of Atlanta and stay up to date with continuing education seminars/classes.  In the beginning I shot weddings and pre-schools.  As time went on I became known for storybook children's photography and families.  Now I really enjoy studio portraits and headshots.   My photography is real, traditional/modern, simple.  The end goal is a natural, beautiful expression.

There is only one me.  It is said I light up the room and have an infectious smile.  Warm, friendly, caring, patient, unique and a creative.  I love the variety of people I meet.  All people are special and have something wonderful to share.  Everyone has a story.

I am not on the same path as most photographers.  I don't  just hand over my digital images for you to have.  I love prints.  I understand sharing quick phone pics.   The prints displayed in your home are timeless, taking you back to that moment...that hug, that smile, that sweet outfit.  Digital files won't last forever. We remember the ones we print.  Paper prints are a treasure, they are special.  

Print your photos!  Prints are more valuable with each passing year.  I attract the special client who values and decorates their home with print products.  Ours are retouched and printed in the best professional labs.  We offer custom framing for your convenience and store your favorite images so you can re-order later.  This is a full service portrait studio providing a great in person experience.  In the end I will send you those low res images you want for your phone.

I cherish the relationships with my wonderful client friends.  I am honored to gain their loyalty.  It has been a gift to see their families grow up as they add to their albums.

I recommend a consultation to plan your session, clothing color and when you want the shoot to take place. What is your end goal? What do you want me to do for you?

Life's journey is much too fast!  You and your family are changing.  Saving memories is my passion.  They are more important with each passing day.  Text or call 317-780-7955.   Thank you so much! Melinda
