Hello, I’m Melinda.
An outdoor family photographer on Chicago’s North Side, drawn to the moments that feel like you.
My aim is simple: capture and celebrate the personality of you and your loved ones. I’m especially drawn to candid expressions, natural outdoor settings and the connections within a family.
There’s room for a relaxed portrait together, too. I want the photographs to feel personal, whether it’s a shared laugh or a quieter moment.
Care in the moment.
Care in the finishing.
Taking the photographs is one part of my work. Afterwards, I choose the images and refine their color, tone and detail. That selection and editing is central to what I offer.
Both family collections include edited, high-resolution digital photographs you can download, print and share.
I photograph outdoors, with Chicago’s North Side as my core area. For another location, get in touch and we can discuss the travel involved.
