Let's tell your story!
Hiring a photographer who's focused on you and your brand is hard, because so many create images that reflect their style, not yours. At Silver & Light, I take the time to get to know you. I look at your website, your branding, and your message, and I tailor the photography to your needs, resulting in images that showcase your business and attract the customers you want to work with most. Let me get to know you; schedule a free consultation today!
 Honey Bee Soaps and mossI met the 13-year-old CEO of Honey Bee Soaps and she is absolutely precious! I bought her all-natural products for my kids for Easter and photographed them with an Easter theme. Additional editing details are in my blog. |  Surf boardsFine art photograph of 3 surfboards standing on Daytona Beach |  Autumn table settingA photograph of a rustic wooden table, set with white plates with an oak leaf design on them. There are autumn leaves and acorns on the table. |

 Bright Green Fern with Pink Flowersa closeup photograph of a gorgeous, colorful Autumn fern with spores and blurred roses in the background |  Molten Gold Under the Daytona Pier16x9 Photograph of the water under the Sunglow Pier in Daytona, Florida. Looking at this image makes me so happy and relaxed; I can hear the waves! I decided to call it "Molten Gold Under the Sunglow Pier". I know it's a ridiculous name, but that's what the water reminds me of. :-) |  GeorgianTerraceI waited for over 2 hours with a 4x5 view camera for the sun to be in the right place to hit the tree in the foreground and make it turn white. I was using black and white infrared film to capture this photograph of the Georigian Terrace building framed by the AT&T Midtown Center here in Atlanta, Georgia. More details in my blog. |
 Blue car watercolorI created this image as a gift for my brother-in-law, from a photograph I took of a vintage model car. I turned the photo into a watercolor in Adobe Photoshop and tinted it blue. |  Fire and Ice PortraitMy daughter likes to model for me; this time she wanted an edgy portrait against a black background lit with blue and red gels over the lights. I color balanced some of her face so she still looked human and not alien, lol. |  Off to the OceanA baby turtle is making her way to the ocean. Her tracks show in the sand and the ocean wave looks like lace. |
 GA Tech Mechanical EngineeringI used a 4x5 view camera to keep the architectural lines straight inside the camera. This black and white photograph is of the staircase inside Georgia Institute of Technology's Mechanical Engineering building. |  Frozen marblesA photograph of marbles in a shallow blue pot frozen in waves after a windy ice storm came through Atlanta. |  Atlanta SunsetA long exposure photograph of the beautiful downtown Atlanta skyline from Jackson Street Bridge with a blue and pink sunset. The feeling of energy in this photo is enhanced by the leading lines going into and out of the city from the light trails. |
 Burgundy Bubbles IrisA photograph of my favorite Burgundy Bubbles iris, glowing from within from sunlight. |  Girl on Acworth bridgeMy daughter wanted to take portraits that were a little more urban to match her outfit. We hit the Acworth Pedestrian Bridge as the sun was setting, turning the bridge orange and putting highlights on her long blonde hair. I used fill flash on her face and accentuated the orange in Adobe Photoshop. The leading lines of the bridge and the strong orange give the photo energy and frame my daughter. |  Biplane pilotA black and white photograph of a female biplane pilot dressed in vintage clothing including a leather jacket, helmet, and scarf. |
Testimonials
"Melissa,
Hunter and I are blown away by the pictures that you took and literally gave me chills going through them today.
I am so grateful you did this artisan photography for our family to capture this precious moment in Hunter’s life and her accomplishments to date.
Thank you for bringing Hunter’s unique and challenging vision to life. You did so much scouting and detective work to find a place during a time period (2020) that had more challenges that climbing Mount Everest in an avalanche. You found such unique places to capture her vision." ~ Kriston
