My name is Melinda Martinez of Melinda Martinez Photography. I have been photographing people for over 10 years. Not originally from Albuquerque, but I am enjoying exploring the city and all the many photo opportunities it has to offer. I am married, mother of 5; two kids, two dogs, and one cat.

I have always enjoyed photography. I received my first camera at the age of 12. I never went anywhere without it! I have been in business officially now for 2 years. Specializing in portrait photography including weddings, seniors, families, and kids, all while using the beautiful city of Albuquerque as the background.

I believe in the universe, it will give back to you what you give to it.

I believe everyone has a twin, somewhere out there...

I believe in love and laughter, as they go hand in hand.
