These kids came with the intent of having a headshot for their theatrical careers. I turned these images into art 

after they were used for the original purpose.

I remember when photographing one twelve year old boy, who had just joined Northwest Children's Theatre here in Portland after coming from Florida, saying to me    

 " I just love theatre kids 

because we are just different."​

These faces say just that.

Dear Melody, Thanks for making Avery's shoot such a joy! We both had a great time. On the way home, Avery said, 

"Melody is so nice! I want her to shoot ALL my pictures!" 

How is that for a recommendation ?

I can't tell you what a great pleasure it is to watch someone at work who obviously loves what they're doing,

 and is able to convey that feeling.

I love your home/studio. So much of your personality is displayed. A sense of fun and laughter. I wish I had a week to walk through it, and hear all the stories behind each piece. God has blessed you with rich experiences, a great talent, and a zest for life that spills over to those around you. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Sincerely, Mary Holmes
