Photographer Spotlight: Melanie Soltz

Location: Kansas City

What's in your camera bag & what's your favorite lens? 

Canon R, Canon 35mm (I use this for 90% of my work), Canon 100mm, Canon 50mm

What is your favorite thing to do when you're not working?

When I'm not working, you can usually find me hanging with my husband and our 2 little boys, or taking on a new project around the house.

Who inspires you?

My family inspires me, as well as all of the talented photographers in TMA!

What makes your brand unique?

My desire to serve my clients with a beautiful and stress-free experience from start to finish. I want my clients to enter my studio and know that they don't have to worry about a thing - new mamas have enough on their plates! Starting with wardrobe for the family and hair and makeup for mom, my clients feel pampered and beautiful as we create priceless memories for their families.

What's your favorite aspect of your business?

The absolute best part is getting to meet my clients and document their families over the years. So many come as clients and walk away as friends. Photographing someone's most precious moments is an honor that I don't take lightly. Seeing the images that we create together as art on their walls is a feeling that never gets old.

What business advice would you give to someone overwhelmed with starting out?

Keep practicing. Keep evolving. Stay true to yourself and your why.

What's your Starbucks drink?

Vanilla sweet cream cold brew, sugar free vanilla and light ice 🙂
