Testimonials
Kind words from my amazing clients
Melody is one of the kindest, professional, and amazing photographers I've ever worked with. Living in a small city, it's hard to find that "big city" headshot photographer, and with Melody, that's exactly what you get! I know I can trust my money is well spent, because she's a part of the acting world - and she goes to bigger cities to perfect her craft. As an actor, you really can't ask for anyone better. The music, the vibes, the direction, the studio...just everything is on point!

We had the pleasure of working with Melody for our wine consulting business, and it was a great experience. She understood our vision and effectively captured the essence of our brand through their photography.
Her style is clean, moody and natural, which aligns well with our focus on quality and authenticity. The photos from our recent shoot at our former wine shop and our home turned out beautifully, showcasing our identity in a way that resonates with our audience.
Thanks to Melody, we now have a set of images that enhance our marketing efforts and help establish our brand identity. I would recommend her talents to anyone looking for professional photography that truly reflects their business.
LACIE FLANNERY
I recently had such a wonderful portrait session with Melody, and I cannot say enough about the experience. I’ve often cited that my natural enthusiasm does not translate well in still photos, and I usually feel I come across as stiff or overly intense. Melody, more so than any photographer I’ve ever worked with, has an incredible talent for capturing the truest essence of people in authentic and flattering ways. From the moment I arrived, she was kind, welcoming, and full of contagious enthusiasm that kept the shoot light and enjoyable. In the studio, she was charming, encouraging, and fully engaged, which made me feel comfortable and genuinely excited to be in front of her camera. She is by far my favorite photographer in the region, and I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking beautiful, skillfully crafted portraits.

Melody Jane is simply and purely a magical human being.
I had headshots scheduled as a necessary precursor to an amazing and huge opportunity. When the day arrived to meet up for my shoot, I had an unexpected and tragic loss in my life. She was completely flexible with me in compassionate understanding. When I insisted on following through with the session, her authenticity, professionalism and sensitivity to the human condition brought an essence out of me that I didn’t even know I had. I use her work (and will continue to) in everything I do as a representative of a large body of people. I am a poet but she is poetry in motion. Her eye for beauty and capturing special moments is unmatched.
10 out of 10. Would absolutely recommend with my whole heart.
JESSE ZIEGLER
Melody helped me feel relaxed, engaged, and confident in the multiple photo shoots we’ve done together. Her talent is showcased in the genuine beauty of the expressions she helps bring forth to all of her clients. I was excited to hire her as my wedding makeup artist, which turned out so beautifully, and natural, which is my style. We decided to do a photoshoot after our makeup trial - the combo worked out well! Thank you, Melody!

As someone who has had their photograph taken for over 25 years spent as a professional actor, I'm here to say that Melody is a gifted photographer.
The best photographs are on the other side of a successful shoot, and Melody sets the tone for one that is open, fun, and exciting. As a result, she makes you feel more beautiful than you've ever felt in your life, and most importantly, she captures the true YOU.
DEB LEAMY
Melody... where to even start?! She is one of the best photographers I have had the pleasure to work with. Not only does she have the eye for the shot, but she also makes you feel comfortable during the shoot! You can’t help but to feel so engaged with her presence because of her simple smile or warm gestures. I absolutely loved my photos that I shot with her. Amazing personality and an amazing aura. Truly one of a kind.
MARTIN HARGROVE
Melody has been photographing me and my family since my son was a baby. Throughout all 15 years, her talent and artistry have only continued to amaze me. There are no limits to the beauty she creates, both in the images themselves and in the experience of being photographed by her.
I’ve recommended Melody to many friends, and each has shared the same feeling: that she brings magic to every shoot. Beyond capturing my family, she has also helped me with branding and marketing for my businesses, and her eye for detail and authenticity shines through in every project.
As a former working model in Los Angeles, I can be a tough client to please, but Melody creates an environment where I feel seen, understood, and celebrated. Her ability to portray people in a way that feels both validating and true is rare in this industry.
JOSLYN LUAN
Melody was the photographer for our wedding in Reno. She was easy to work with and made all of our family feel comfortable with getting their photo taken. She captured all of the important action during the reception, creating eternal memories for us to enjoy. And she was very communicative and speedy, turning around the full portfolio shortly after the ceremony. We highly recommend her!
PAOLO + JORDAN Zialcita
They say a picture says a thousand words, but Melody’s professional headshots speak volumes.
Her captivating framing and lighting techniques can make a smile tell a whole story.
I book with Melody because I trust her vision, and I know I can’t find that elite level of photographical expertise anywhere else.
NOMAR MENDOZA
I’ve had the delight of working with Melody more than once. I consider myself rather camera shy and was so grateful for how comfortable she made me feel right away!
She offers suggestions, while also remaining open to trying other ideas. She’s also incredibly easy to communicate and schedule with, I can’t wait to book a session with the whole family!
VICTORIA BLISPIN
I cannot recommend Melody enough! I loved my experience having her shoot my headshots so much that I immediately booked her to do my daughter’s as well. Both sessions were wonderful experiences, and the results completely exceeded my expectations.
As someone who works in the arts, I know how crucial it is to have a strong headshot. It’s often the first impression you make. Melody truly delivered. She has a gift for creating a fun, welcoming atmosphere, which allowed me to feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera- something that doesn’t come naturally to me. The photos she took felt like they captured my personality as a professional and I couldn’t be happier with them.
If you’re looking for headshots that make you look and feel your best, Melody is the one to call.

I LOVE shooting with Melody! She helps me channel my inner Queen Bey, and captures my personality perfectly! She’s responsive, flexible and always so kind and patient. She goes above and beyond to make the entire experience perfect from start to finish!
TAHMEA DOWDELL / MISS NEVADA'S TEEN 2025
Melody came to my home for a photoshoot in my kitchen, which was for a magazine article featuring my chef business. The experience was incredibly fun; the energy was positive, music was playing, and she expertly guided me into the best poses.
The entire process felt very organic and easy. The editing process was quick, and I truly appreciated how she listened to my vision and brought it to life. Melody is hands down the best!

We had the pleasure of working with Melody to have professional headshots done and were so pleased with how they turned out. I had not previously worked with a professional photographer, so I was unfamiliar with the process and more than a little nervous. Melody took the time to explain the process, and we started our photo shoot feeling confident we were in good hands… and she made it fun. As someone who typically does not like any of my photos, I was happily surprised that I had so many good proofs to choose from, and the final results were amazing! I would highly recommend Melody.
