Hello, from the person behind the lens

Hi! I’m Melody, the heart and creative eye behind From Day One Photography and Aurora Boudoir. My photography journey started with a simple passion for capturing life’s genuine moments, and over time, it evolved into a mission to celebrate and empower everyone who steps in front of my lens in some way.

Based in Douglas County, Oregon, I offer studio and outdoor sessions designed to showcase you in the most beautiful, authentic light. Whether we’re out in nature or in the studio, my goal is to create a relaxed environment where you can feel comfortable and truly yourself.

I specialize bringing out natural beauty, finding candid moments and raw emotion that comes from allowing you to be who you are and not focusing on strict poses only. For me, each session is about more than just photos; it’s about honoring your story and celebrating your unique journey.

When you choose me as your photographer, you’re not just getting someone with a camera—you’re getting a storyteller dedicated to preserving your moments with heart and artistry. Let’s create memories that you’ll look back on with a smile, a laugh, or maybe even a happy tear.
