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.

yoga, anyone?

a few months ago my friend asked me to do a photo shoot for her and her family.  as she is an avid 'yogi', she posed for me in the 'standing bow'.  it should be noted that these were done on a rock 5 feet high in the beautiful Washington Oaks State Park.  i enjoyed these too much to keep them to myself...

Something old, something new...

in my recent travels, i went to visit my sister in Missouri.  my sister is one of those uniquely talented people, who are not only creative and crafty, but also genuine and original.  she has recently been giving new life to buttons lost long ago... buttons that may have slipped through the cracks unnoticed, buttons that may have dropped right off of your grandfather's coat sleeve.  visit her on etsy at
