Meet Your Photographer
Nice to meet you- I’m Lynds... At least that’s what my friends call me- and I’d love to be yours too.
I’ve been capturing moments and connection since 2012, and I absolutely love what I do. I have had opportunities through my experiences in photography that I never would’ve had otherwise. I consider myself truly blessed to enjoy my one of my many passions as my career!
In addition to creating art through my lens, I have a passion for somatic therapies and am an avid dancer. I help facilitate ecstatic dance and rhythm in the area in addition to my work as a photographer. I also contract services to help people on health journeys. I love being in my garden, cultivating a DIY project, eating and cooking excellent, fresh and local food, and appreciating nature in every way I can. I love to hike, alongside my partner, Justice. I have an amazing family and the coolest kids who are my inspiration for starting my business.
I get asked a lot if my name is Melrose- so let me explain. Melrose Photography gets its namesake from my oldest daughter, Melody Rose. I’m not in Melrose, California, though I do have a cool story about that if you ever want to ask!
I believe that the best images are captured when everyone is able to enjoy the experience. I am all about reading the energy of the people in a group and neutralizing any stress or worry as we focus on connection between individuals. I love a gorgeous location as much as anyone- but I care more about capturing YOU!
I can’t wait to continue my journey in this career, and I learn more with each year!
