Hi, I'm Melody Smith.  

​

I've spent the last several decades of my career developing an incredibly powerful online brand and presense.  I know what it is like to struggle to not only put your face front and center of your business, but also not wanting to over complicate your life with making that happen in a strong, impact-driven, way.

​

I would love to help you create images that represent you in a clean, polished, cohesive, and approachable way.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Headshot Refresh Week in Petersburg and Richmond, Virginia

Do you provide wardrobe for headshot sessions?

Professional Headshots are highly individual—your wardrobe should reflect your industry, personality, & professional identity. Whether you're a corporate executive in high-end suiting, a creative professional in jeans & statement jewelry, or a realtor blending casual professionalism, your clothing plays a key role in telling your story.

​

Not sure what your professional style identity looks like?

Don’t worry, I’ll guide you in selecting wardrobe choices that photograph beautifully, flatter your body type, and align with your brand.

After booking, you’ll also receive exclusive access to my inspiration boards to help refine your vision.

​

What about professional

hair and makeup?

 For this promotion hair & makeup is NOT included.  You can add on Professional Hair & Makeup Services for an additional $289.

​

A fully polished look is VITAL to your time with me and I will be there to guide you every step of the way INCLUDING how you want to be cosmetically styled.​

​

This service isn’t about changing your look, it’s about enhancing your best features. Your eyes will appear brighter, your complexion more even, and your hair style perfectly tailored to complement your professional presence.

​

Is professional styling guidance really that important?

Absolutely. Styling is more than just wearing nice clothes—it’s about creating harmony between your wardrobe, body type, coloring, and brand message.

With over 20 years of experience in professional portraiture, I know:

 

What photographs well

and what doesn’t...

​

How to create impactful,

cohesive imagery...

​

Which colors, fits, and silhouettes elevate your personal brand...

​

From wardrobe to final image selection, every detail is curated to showcase your  personality, strength, credibility, and individuality.
