With business head shots and corporate portraits, I will work with you to bring out a friendly confidence that potential clients will see, even before they meet you.Makeup and grooming are included with every photography session, and all final images are fully retouched. Corporate group rates are available for in studio or on location shooting.

If you need event photography for a corporate party, event documentation for a business award ceremony, photography for an upscale cocktail party, or fun candids of an office party, birthday, or milestone anniversary, you have come to the right place. Melanie Gillis keeps things real, fun, and relaxed no matter what the occasion.
These custom sessions are ideal for actors, musicians and performing artists who are looking to brand themselves within their creative fields. We include a pre-session consultation to discuss the look, style and image you wish to project. It is helpful if you bring music samples wardrobe ideas, past promotional material, etc, as part of this process.
For your maternity session, we will shoot your choice of portraits, semi-nudes, nudes, and/or all three, as a creative documentation of your pregnancy. Include your partner, and we will do shots of you alone, and shots of the two of you. We recommend that you wait until the last month before your baby is due for maximum belly.
Photo Package: The photos you present in a web dating or social media context are important reflections of you as a person. Often it is difficult to pull together enough natural, flattering shots for successful on line dating and social media presence. Melanie offers a package to solve this issue. She will meet you in her home studio or at a location of choice.

Melanie made this photo shoot such a pleasant experience for my Sophie. She can be a little nervous in new surroundings and Melanie allowed her to get comfortable with her surroundings before starting. She has a rapport with the animals which makes them completely comfortable with her as well. Thank you for such a positive experience, not to mention beautiful photos.

Melanie is an excellent and experienced photographer who has an innate ability to make people feel very comfortable around her. She is very reasonable in terms of pricing and her work is extremely high quality with quick turnaround times. Communication with Melanie is also very easy and smooth, and it made my first professional photography session all the more comfortable. I would without hesitation recommend her to anyone looking to have their photos taken.

I needed some updated headshots for professional purposes and thought I would also use the opportunity to take some new shots for my various social media accounts. I was impressed with the quality of Melanie's work so I reached out to arrange a session. She responded quickly and was accommodating of my challenging schedule. She provided clear direction of what to expect during, how to prepare for and what to bring to the shoot. She was very collaborative and once we agreed on the approach her work was efficient yet precise and I think the end results speak for themselves. I would highly recommend

I recently had Melanie do new Corporate and Social media shots for me. I was hesitant and have delayed this for years. I don't like having my photo taken. Melanie put me at ease right away.
A wonderful suggestion was to include her husband who is a Men's clothing stylist to help me shop and choose from my own wardrobe for the event. What a great idea. We laughed all through the shoot. I was so at ease and really enjoyed the process. I am absolutely delighted with the finished photos and have had almost 100 compliments on my new profile photo in Facebook and LinkedIn. I only wish I had found Melanie

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
By far the best photographer, I have come across. I am usually very hard to please, but the headshots that Melanie took for me were amazing. As a matter of fact, she goes above and beyond to make sure you have the right look for the picture. She is lovely and wonderful, can't recommend anyone better than her!
