Tennille Melcher

Photographer & CEO

Award-winning and featured in multiple online and print publications, I’ve spent over a decade building more than just another photography studio—I’ve built a judgment-free zone where you can fully be yourself.

Don’t be fooled by my serious (and very sexy) headshot. Behind the lens, I’m goofy, sarcastic, a little kinky, and completely filter-free—which tends to lead to unforgettable moments… occasionally awkward ones… and usually a lot of laughter.

Those moments? I live for them. And I’ll probably laugh about them forever.

I am a woman

My husband likes to joke that I’m lightning in a bottle and he’s just here to minimize the damage. He’s not wrong. I live my life loudly, authentically, and with very few regrets. I love a good old-fashioned and my favorite word is fuck, and yes—I have absolutely no filter. You’ve been warned.

 

My biggest flaw? I’m painfully honest. And like everyone else, I have my own insecurities. After 19 procedures on my breasts, I had to relearn how to love a body that didn’t look the way society said it should. In 2026, after discovering both implants had ruptured, I made the decision to have them removed entirely. Today, I’m a proud member of the itty bitty titty club—and more comfortable in my skin than ever before.

 

If I can stand in front of a camera, scars and all, owning every part of my story—so can you.

I am a wife

I’ve been married to my best friend for almost 20 years, which feels both impossible and exactly right. We met online (before it was cool), and hands down, it was the best decision either of us ever made.

 

We have one incredible daughter who is married and made us first-time grandparents in 2025—easily my favorite title so far. When we’re not working, my husband and I love traveling, chasing new experiences, and collecting memories in other countries whenever we can.

 

Life is meant to be lived fully—and preferably with good company, a passport, and a little adventure.

I am a mother

When my only child went off to college, I became an empty nester, which was one of the most difficult transitions in my life. I didn't realize how much my identity was tied to being a mother until she moved out and went off to college.  Then, something really exciting happened. Instead of feeling lost and not knowing who I am, I found my new purpose in life. To live my best life with no regrets.

 

For the first time ever, I was in complete control of my own identity and it was my time to reinvent myself. And honestly, it was extremely exciting. I can be my true authentic self with no apologies. However, the mother in me still needed something to nurture, so I became a Master Gardener and have dedicated so much love to an ever-failing yet fulfilling garden. I am a fur mommy to two dogs and I'm still trying to convince my husband to let me have a pig and alpacas. Stay tuned...

I am a friend

I'm extremely loyal to everyone and struggle with saying no. I believe in protecting others and helping them bring out the best version of themselves. Traditions are incredibly important to me and I try to do at least one act of kindness every day for a complete stranger. Even if it's giving a simple smile and hello. My clients have become some of my best friends and I am truly blessed to have them in my life. We are each other's hype girls and know that we can just be ourselves with absolutely no judgment.

I am an artist

My journey started before I was born. My grandfather was the chief photographer in Fiji during WW2. I inherited his old slides and I have had a camera around my neck for longer than I can remember. Throughout middle school, I was the editor and chief of the school yearbook and in charge of taking candid photos of the hot jocks (poor me haha) as well as developing the film in the dark room. I am completely self-taught and I always forget the photography "rules" so yes, I do cut off limbs in photos :)  

 

Ever since becoming a photographer, I’ve been able to help people see themselves—and the ones they love—through a more honest, confident lens. Whether I’m photographing pets, high school seniors, or families, the goal is always the same: to capture personality, connection, and that undeniable spark that makes each story unique.
