Melanei Ortiz

I am a photographer, entrepreneur, and creative professional with a passion for capturing authentic moments and building meaningful client relationships. I am the Owner and Executive Photographer at Lewisburg Studio by Melo Foto, a role I have held since February 2022, where I acquired a brick-and-mortar photography company and revitalized it into a wedding-centric six-figure business model. With my talented team, including a charismatic Director and Sales Consultant and a skilled Production and Editing Specialist, we continue to grow our company, servicing private medical companies, nationwide branding, small businesses, corporate PR, philanthropy, schools, sports, families, food, pets, real estate, and my personal favorite, wedding photography.

Through Lewisburg Studio, we take joy in witnessing the true love between every couple we photograph on their wedding day. Through our camera lens, we preserve the most genuine and dynamic moments of each couple's memories, carefully comforting them so their truest selves can shine. We offer an array of photographic services, and Melanie and Valerie also provide hair and makeup services, ensuring every client can enjoy the perfect look during their shoot.

Across my career in photography and business ownership, my work has been driven by a passion for storytelling through imagery and a commitment to providing exceptional client experiences. Whether I am photographing a wedding, a corporate brand, or a family portrait, I bring creativity, professionalism, and a dedication to capturing moments that matter. I am proud of the business I have built and excited to continue growing Lewisburg Studio and serving clients with excellence and heart.
