Hey, my name is Melanie Sanders.
My friends call me Mel.
 
Meet the Photographer
 
 
I am a wife and mommy of 3. I was born & raised in Germany, became a US citizen circa 2010. I used to create websites and did a lot of product photography for a living. Then switched gears to become a pediatric nurse - which I still enjoy to this day. But my love for photography kept me wanting to do something more creative - and here we are...
My family moved to Richmond Hill, GA in 2025 and I am looking to expand my photography business here in the South!
 
 
I'm passionate about capturing the beauty in everyday moments and turning them into something you can hold onto forever. I believe the best photographs aren't just about perfect poses — they're about genuine smiles, meaningful connections, and the little details that make your story yours.
My goal is to make every session relaxed, enjoyable, and personal, so you can focus on being present while I capture the memories unfolding naturally.
Thank you for considering Memories by Mel to be part of your story. I can't wait to create something special with you!
Beauty is all around us; it just takes a camera to capture what is already there.
When I'm not doing portrait photography, I enjoy taking pictures of anything unique that catches my eye.
