  • I wish I had the right vocabulary to adequately praise Melina for how beautiful her work is! She has photographed our family twice-first with our first born, and then with our second, and both times she created magic in each shot.

  • Melina’s work is phenomenal. She takes the ordinary and makes it magical. If you like any of her photos, just wait until it’s your most cherished people in them!
