At Melinda Gilmore Photography I want everything to be as simple and effortless as possible. From your consultation, photo shoot, to viewing your portraits, and to receiving gorgeous art for your home – I take care of everything so you can focus on what is important – your family.

When it comes to your photo shoot we will go over your preferred color scheme and your choice of styling. Leave it up to me to pull it all together so when you arrive you walk into your vision come true. I take care of everything – you only have to show up to your portrait session.
