Hello Gorgeous

MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER, MEL

I am a cat-mom, sister, and a friend to many...

I’m passionate about empowering women to feel confident and stunning through photography. You can expect a safe, comfortable space where you can let go of insecurities and embrace your true self. I’ll guide you through every step with verbal instruction and visual demonstrations, ensuring you feel confident and at ease, so you leave with stunning photos and an unforgettable experience. Trust me to help you own your beauty and strength, through my lens.

We can instantly see what makes you beautiful and capture it on camera.

Our Super Power:

And we’ve been doing it since 2015.

Hey There

I’M TRACI

EDITOR / ADMIN

I launched Indium in 2015 and decided to take a step back from shooting in 2025. I’m still here for everything else: editing, retouching, designing your bespoke product(s), marketing, and client care.

I do take a limited number of photo clients per year so feel free to inquire if you would like to work together.

Our Team

Kim

booking manager

Kim has been part of Indium for years, helping hundreds of women take that first step toward their session. As our Booking Manager, she knows the Indium experience inside and out and is usually the person behind the scenes helping with questions, scheduling, and all the little details that come up before you walk through our doors.

She’s also Traci and Mel’s mom, which officially makes Indium a family affair. She’s warm, easy to talk to, and genuinely loves getting to know the women who find their way to us. If you have a question before booking or just want to talk through the experience with a real person, Kim’s your girl.

Alex has been doing hair and makeup for 20 years. She definitely knows what she’s doing.

Our clients absolutely love her and call her the ultimate hype girl. She’ll keep conversation going and make you feel so comfortable during the getting ready process.

She’s a mom of 3 and stays busy outside of boudoir with weddings on the weekends.
