Portrait Photographers in Hagerstown, MD

As a self-taught creative with over four years of experience, I pride myself on being adaptable and motivated to capture my client's vision. My goal is to make you gasp when you see the final image.

Bonjour! I’m Sandy, a French photographer who has made the U.S. my home since November 2019. My journey here began as an au pair in Virginia, where I met my wonderful husband. Now, we share our lives with our beautiful daughter, Charly Rose, who fills our days with joy and laughter. Photography has always been close to my heart. Some of my fondest memories are of spending time in the darkroom with my mom, where I first fell in love with the magic of capturing moments on film. Today, my home is filled with photos, each one a cherished memory that tells the story of our journey. I specialize in lifestyle photography, and I’m known for making people feel comfortable in front of the lens. My goal is to capture you as naturally as possible, respecting your vision and creating images that truly reflect who you are. It’s important to me that you have the best experience possible, so I strive to make our time together enjoyable and relaxed. As a stay-at-home mom and business owner, I understand the importance of balancing life’s many roles. My photography business is an extension of my love for capturing memories, and I am dedicated to helping you preserve the special moments that you and your loved ones will treasure for years to come. I can’t wait to work with you to create beautiful images that you’ll hold dear forever.

About me: I’m Melinee, but most people just call me Mel and welcome to my little corner of the internet 😊 I am a photographer based in Maryland but travel for projects around the globe. My goal is to show the beauty, grace, strength, and enthusiasm of people. I look for boldness and fortitude in my work and I take great pride in capturing the true spirit and personality of the people and subjects that I photograph. My style has been described as creative, fun, natural, engaging, vibrant, and relaxed. (Yes, I said relaxed…) I understand that not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera, but as your photographer, I take time to engage in conversation, listen with my ears and camera, and pay close attention to the smallest of details. We will have fun 😊 “Life is too short to be anything but happy” I encourage you to have a conversation with me and I truly look forward to meeting with you. Disclaimer: I do not photograph any nudes or perform boudoir photography
