Hi! I'm Melanie
I'm Melanie, an Alberta-based photographer specialising in families, pets, and the connections between them.
Because I believe your dog isn't "just a dog." Your horse isn't "just a horse." They're the ones who greet you at the door, stand beside your children as they grow, and become part of the stories your family tells for years to come.
My sessions are relaxed, meaningful, and centred around the relationships that matter most — whether that's a child and their best friend, a family and their dog, a horse and their rider, or simply the people you love most.
My goal is to create photographs that don't just show what your family looked like, but remind you how it felt to be together.
BECAUSE THEY'RE PART OF THE FAMILY
THEIR PLACE IN YOUR FAMILY DESERVES TO BE REMEMBERED.
From the dog who grew up alongside your children to the horse who has carried you through countless chapters of your life, some relationships deserve more than a snapshot on your phone.
Your session is about capturing those connections — the personalities, the little interactions, and the love that makes your family yours.

I've got your back...
Nervous about your session?
Before your session, you'll receive a detailed guide covering everything you need to know — from what to wear and what to bring, to what to expect during your session.
And when it's time to step in front of the camera, I'll guide you every step of the way.
