About Us
Hi! We are Chris and Melinda. We live in Alpharetta, GA with our English Bull Terrier named Cypress. Thank you for considering us to be your photographers. OUR BACKGROUND. Chris got his start in photography working at a Lifetouch portrait studio in Target. After a little over a year at Lifetouch, he worked at Olan Mills for a short time. He decided he could better serve his clients by venturing on his own. Chris has done everything from families, newborns, high school seniors, bands, and local businesses. When he is not out on a photo shoot, he spends his time learning more about his craft by reading and watching videos. Melinda earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art from Kennesaw State University in 2011. Melinda can paint or draw photo-realistic portraits. Her concentration was painting and drawing, but she also took classes in graphic design and photography. She loved her photography class because they got to develop their own film, and print their photos in a dark room. In 2012, Chris and Melinda decided to combine their talents to form a husband and wife photography team focusing on weddings and portraits. -Chris+Melinda

What Makes Us Different We know that you have many choices when choosing a photographer. Our key differentiation is that we provide a studio experience on location. We can take our lights with us any where. Why does this matter? Lighting is essential for creating a flattering, beautiful portrait. Unlike other photographers, we have more control over our lighting so we can make you look your best.
The Experience After the initial contact, we will have a consultation on the phone or through email. Together we will decide on a time and a location. Your session will typically be one hour to two hours long. Retouching and editing can take up to two weeks. Once your images are edited, we will schedule an in person meeting to view your photos. This can be at your home or another location. We will go over our packages and decide on any of our high quality products you would like to add. If possible, we will hand deliver your prints to your door. Our goal is to provide exactly what you want within your budget. We are laid back and fun to work with.
What to Wear • Wear coordinated but not matching attire • Choose a color scheme and mix and match solids and patterns • Avoid logos and graphics

Chris and Melinda were absolutely WONDERFUL to work with. My fiancĂŠ and I had engagement pictures done with them and they came out beautifully. I love the work that they do and they are such fun people to work with. If you get pictures done, get them done with Chris and Melinda Photography. -Jonathan
Chris and Melinda are flexible, fun to work with, and extremely talented. I recommend them to everyone for all their photography needs. I look forward to working with them again soon. -Crystal
Chris and Melinda are such a delight to work with! Jeremy and I couldn’t be happier with how our engagement photos turned out—just beautiful. Choosing a photographer for such a cherished event is an important decision, and I know we couldn’t have done better. It’s the small things that often go unnoticed, but not in this case. Chris and Melinda were quick to make us comfortable, didn’t hesitate to put us in flattering poses as well as fun candid shots, and were able to bring to life the whimsy details that I could only imagine. I couldn’t be more grateful for such talented and personable people, and we are looking forward to having them photograph our wedding next year! -Danna
