All of the old content is there, and watch for new content coming soon!

Nicole - Class of 2010


This beautiful girl wanted her portraits made in tall grasses. It was hard to find this time of year in Phoenix, but we found the perfect spot and she rocked it out!

Let me know what scenery you want in your senior portraits. I'll do my best to make it happen. Call or text 602.628.8019 or send email to bymelinda@cox.net to schedule your session.

I love it when they cry...

I know that sounds bad, but it really isn't. Canvas prints often make me cry. They are just so beautiful and seem to mean more somehow than a print on paper. I love the prints on paper, too. But canvas just takes it to another level for me.

In late January, I photographed an extended family who were in town to celebrate a very special 80th birthday. I could tell that the family genuinely loved each other - especially their matriarch. She cried when she saw the images on canvas. It just melted my heart!

Two of the family members purchased canvas collections to display in their homes. They loved them so much that they sent me a hand-written thank you card. Here's what they said... You can't believe how much we love not only the canvases, but the photos, too. They really reflect such personalities of everyone. The canvases look fabulous arranged on the wall - I stop and look at them each time I go by. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job!

Let's schedule your portrait session, soon! Call 602.628.8019 to make your reservation.
