About Me

I am a St. Augustine based photographer with a B.F.A. in Photography. I strive to produce quality work that conveys the personality of my clients and not necessarily the genre of the time. I like images that are comfortable, aesthetic, and personal. Email me for rates at melanie@blackinkphoto.com.

may love fill your days...

being blessed as I am, having married into a wonderful family, I have been given more and more children to photograph!  children are the ideal model, as they are always entertaining, moving, and changing.  as parents, we feel a need to document the faces and lives of our children.  this is most evident in infants, as they change from day to day, minute to minute.  as a photographer, I am given the opportunity to do this for others, to help moms and dads forever 'fix' fleeting moments.  this is a most precious and special gift to be able to give, especially for those who are away serving our country.  and I am most honored to be given this special task.

a special Thank You to Ben and his family.

there was a little girl...

   ... with a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead.  And that's about as far as it goes.  This is one of the sweetest little girls I've met.  We made friends instantly but when I let her look at my camera and take a picture, we became buddies.  I am hoping this will be a lifelong friendship.


last year...

I 'heart' this family.

Rebecca and Jacob have become my friends.  They are super loyal to me as a photographer.  They are phenomenal people.  They are loved by everyone who knows them (including me).  They grow hot peppers.  What more can I say.
I have been blessed with the opportunity of documenting their life.  From their beautiful wedding to their beautiful little 1 year old, these three have given meaning to my status a 'photographer'.

I love this family.
