Creating experiences and memories to keep forever

Finding the right photographer can be daunting.

To help and ensure that I am a good fit for you and know exactly what you are looking for I offer complementary in person consultations during which we get to know each other and you can tell me exactly what you are looking for. I specialize in professional headshot and portrait photography (singles, couples, families and seniors).

Hi! I am Mel,
the photographer at Broadstone Photography.

Photography has always been an important a part of my life. I remember my Dad gifting me my first little camera when I was about 10 years old back in Germany. That's when I developed my love for photography. Over the past few years I have lost loved ones that I held very close and also watch my little babies grow up. I cherish the portraits I have of them on my wall and wish to provide that same serenity to others. Each moment is precious, so capturing that time is invaluable.

Furthermore in todays world first impressions are still very important, however most of the time these first impressions are formed when someone views your online profile and/or website. So whether you are looking for a new career, new customers or new connections a professional headshot will help you give the best first impression online. 

Session fee starting at $99

"Broadstone Photography is by far the best! Melanie made our family feel so comfortable during all of our sessions! Our kiddos can get bored or tired of poses quickly, but Melanie was so kind and knew exactly how to keep the kids interested. Our pictures always come out so beautiful and capture amazing moments. Hands down would recommend Broadstone Photography over and over again! Thank you for your professionalism and amazing work!"
