Brand Story: Melanie

Washington, DC

If you want to get the best light without photo bombers, you got to be committed to the process, even if that means arriving at the Kennedy Center at 6:30am to get the summer golden hour!

Meet Melanie Smith, a Zumba, and cycling instructor who is a lover of active lifestyles and healthy living. She wanted to update her headshots and use photos to supplement her social media efforts. We started exploring the area around the Kennedy Center and Watergate, then drove to our next location in Georgetown Waterfront.

“Shala was very professional and communicative. Our shoot had to be rescheduled a few times due to weather, but she was extremely flexible and very easy to work with in regard to selecting a new date and time.”

— MELANIE SMITH

“While working with Shala, I felt at ease! Shala is very laid back—she has ideas of her own, but also wants to ensure that your needs are met. She even joked around when my hair decided that it did not want to act right!”

— MELANIE SMITH

“After the session, I felt fabulous! I was able to see a photo that evening and received my photo album a few days later. There were too many good options, and I ended up purchasing the entire album.”

— MELANIE SMITH

“I would definitely recommend Shala to any women that are seeking professional photography. I was able to update my professional headshot while also obtaining photos for general social media purposes.”

— MELANIE SMITH
