"I booked MRP for my son's 1st birthday smash cake session. I am over the moon by the results. I was a little nervous, I have to admit, but the moment I heard the first click, all that nervousness turned to excitement. Melody was amazing with my teething, almost 1-year-old fussy baby. She took great pictures, she listened to my requests, she took the time to plan ahead and prepare for us, very affordable and great quality work. I honestly felt so important and taken care of, I can't wait to book our next session."

Not your ordinary headshots, professional branding headshots for professionals, highly skilled photographer


"Melody’s photography session and the entire experience was holistic. Way beyond taking photos, this was a wellness experience. She taught me about my beautiful. She encouraged me to express the nuances of my personality, and she created a safe space to be vulnerable. As a branding consultant, she is extremely knowledgeable about marketing strategies and the types of looks you need to be competitive in a global marketplace. Importantly, from the pre-session consultation to the on-site makeup artist to the reveal, Melody takes care of you so you can relax about the entire process. She is a highly skilled professional who will take good care of you."
