Meet The Photographer

Hey, I’m Meliyah—
Your future / current photographer

• Photography has been a passion of mine since I was little, I actually started taking pictures on a 3DS (no shame, lol)! Even then, I understood how powerful a photograph could be. Images have this rare ability to bring you back to a moment with all the feelings attached, the same way a scent unlocks a memory you didn’t realize you were missing.

• That’s why documentary storytelling means so much to me. I want you to actually live your day. Explore, laugh, breathe it all in. While I quietly capture the real moments happening between you. Of course, we’ll get a few beautifully posed shots too, but the magic lives in the real moments where you’re simply being yourselves.

Allow me to tell your story just as it is.

I wasn’t always a photographer, but I always loved snapping pictures to freeze time.

Know Me

Capturing moments in time and freezing them forever has been my dream since I was young.

A Few of My
Favorite Things

I absolutely love my family and enjoy spending quality time with them. They are my favorite people in the world! I have three brothers, and one of them is my twin, which makes our bond even more special. My parents are my best friends, always supporting and loving me unconditionally. In 2024 we lost our mom, not a day goes by without her on my mind. I love and miss her so much.

Isaiah is my favorite person. We’re high school sweethearts and recently celebrated our one year wedding anniversary! If you ever get the chance to meet him, you’ll quickly understand what a bright light he is. He’s always eager to tag along behind the scenes, capturing video footage and lending a helping hand with anything!

Traveling

There’s nothing like a good cup of coffee and to pair that with a good book!? That is my type of day! Recently I’ve been making americanos at home and I literally can’t wait to make a cup each day lol! I love reading story books and I am a kindle girl through and through!!
