"Highly recommend Melanie Laufer Photography! I discovered Thumbtack app and liked the work that I saw of Melanie’s and quickly received a response from her for an upcoming vacation shoot with my son at Cannon Beach. The weather was a bit unpredictable, but it ended up inspiring the most incredible moody, candid photos. The session felt relaxed, and the final images perfectly capture our bond and the dramatic beauty of the Oregon coast. Thank you for the wonderful memories!"

Melanie was amazing for our surprise engagement at Cannon Beach! She was right on time for a beautiful sunset at Haystack rock for the surprise proposal. She was very professional but also fun and had great ideas for poses and locations for some unique photos. Highly Recommend!

Melanie was very kind and professional for our surprise engagement photos. We came to Oregon all the way from Oklahoma and she was very flexible for weather and other circumstances. 10/10 would recommend!

We had such a wonderful experience and are so thankful for Melanie's calm and light hearted demeanor. The photos were exactly what we were looking for. Can't wait to get them hung up on the wall 🥰

She did our family photos while we were at the Oregon Coast. We received the edited pictures and they turned out great. I am glad she was able to capture these moments for us.
