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 always have stayed up to date.   In the beginning I shot weddings and pre-schools.  As time went on I became known for my storybook children's photography, mother/child, seniors and families and dabbled in tasteful boudoir sessions.  Presently I mainly do studio/garden portraits and headshots  My style is real, yet traditional/modern and simple.  The end goal is always a natural, beautiful expression in a comfortable pose.

I love the variety of people I meet.  All people are special and have something wonderful to share.  Everyone has a story.  Everyone has been through something that influenced them.

There is only one me.  I am not on the same path as most photographers.  I don't  just hand over my digital images.  I love prints.  I understand sharing quick phone pics.   However the prints displayed in your home are timeless.  They take you back to that moment...that hug, that laugh, that outfit, that toothless grin, that tear, that emotion.  Digital files won't last forever. We only remember ones we print.  Paper prints are a treasure.  They are more valuable with each passing year.  I attract the special client who values and decorates their home with print products.  Retouched and printed in the best professional labs.  We offer custom framing for your convenience and store your favorite files. This has always been a full service portrait studio providing a great in person experience.  In the end I send you those low res images you want for your phone.

I  have great relationships with my wonderful client friends.  I am honored to gain their loyalty.  It has been a pleasure to see their families grow up with each session as they add to their albums.

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

Life's journey is so 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
