PHOTOGRAPHER AND EDUCATOR

Bend, Oregon and Beyond

For me, Photography is so much more than creating fine art, it's about witnessing the transformation that happens on a deep and profound level. To hear you say, “Oh my god, that’s me!” To experience you connect with a part of yourself never seen before. And then to watch you go out and actualize your dreams. Because for many, this is the first time they’ve truly felt comfortable in their own skin.

In seeing yourself as a work of art, a unique expression of self, you become the main character of your story, and actualize your dreams.

Portraits that tell a story about who you are and what you’ve overcome. A visual testament to your growth and a
celebration of the woman you are becoming — bold, empowered and unapologetically you.

SELF WORTH SESSIONS

PHOTOGRAPHER AND EDUCATOR

Bend, Oregon and Beyond

Hi, my name is Melanie. As a seasoned Photographer and Educator in self-worth and entrepreneurship, I am dedicated to empowering creatives just like you- find your voice, stand in your power and own your authenticity.

This work is born out of the burning desire to forge my own path in business and the culmination of over 15 years of experience mastering photography. I owe my gratitude to the sisterhood, strong friendships and community formed with my beloved clients.

I understand firsthand how daunting investing in yourself can be, whether leaving a relationship, quitting a job or daring to start your own business. It requires immense self-belief to take that leap of faith and fully commit to choosing your own journey.
During these uncertain times, when our choices can feel make-or-break, what we often need most is to feel seen and heard.
For many, seeing is believing. Through my lens, I capture more than just images; I celebrate the authentic, unapologetic, and unforgettable you, reshaping how you perceive yourself.
This isn't your ordinary portrait photography. It's a testament to the power of self-image and self-worth, because what you see shapes what you believe and becomes your reality.
