Melanie

incorrigible optimist. traveler & passport holder since birth. photographer who falls in love with her clients. awestruck by how good & sweet life can be. grandfather & great-grandfather were both photographers (so it’s sort of woven on my dna).

loves: roadtrips. stripes. a home filled with giggles. thanksgiving. lexington. treehouses. white. pinkberry. the simple life. people who listen to their kindness impulse. letters in the mail. family. exploring. making up adventures like the ‘nyc cupcake tour’ and ’let’s find the best gelato in italy.’ pinterest. conversation. a clean house. creativity. recalling a happy memory. the word: lovely

dislikes: music by rod stewart. being a mosquito magnet. smog.

“Photographers tend to focus on their favorite subject, whether it be vast landscapes or action-filled sporting events. I concentrate on what I find most beautiful – people & their loving relationships with one another.”
– Melanie Mauer
