After years of working out of my home studio, I am sooooooo excited to have finally found the perfect location to support the growth of Melanie Merkling Photography! The new studio address is 216 First Street in downtown Rogers, two doors down from Iron Horse Coffee Company (frozen mocha - yum ;)). I have several fun events in the works and can't wait to share them all with you. Thank you to all my fabulous clients who have allowed me to capture the special moments in your life! To show my gratitude and to show off my space ;), I will be offering returning clients complimentary mini sessions during select dates in August!!! Since I don't like to leave anyone out, all new clients who book a session before August 31 will get a 16x20 wall portrait!
Call to book your appointment today!

One of this years FAVORITES!
Those of you who know me or have followed my work know that candid and natural is what I am all about, which might seem easy, but often is much easier said then done, simply because for most of us smile and say "cheese" was what picture day was all about, and that can be a very hard habit to break. But to me there is just nothing more beautiful or more enjoyable to photograph than seeing children, families, anyone really just be themselves. I do try to grab a few standard more posed shots when I see a place for them, but for the most part I just tell my clients to have fun, interact naturally and I fall into the background and start shooting. I meet this beautiful family at a quiet park that is one of my favorite spots. I quickly found out this was the first candid session they have ever done, but you would never know it! They immediately started exploring and having a great time. I had a great time photographing them!

Colorado Wedding - Nathan and Aleena
I was so honored to have the privilege of photographing the wedding of Nathan and Aleena in my favorite state - COLORADO! There is nothing I love more than Colorado scenery and fresh mountain air. Thank you Nathan and Aleena for letting me be part of your special day.
