Hi, I'm Melody Ferguson, the heart behind Melody Ellis Photography, based in Florence, MS. Whether you’re planning your dream wedding, capturing the joy and chaos of family moments, or embracing your confidence through a boudoir session, I’m here to turn those fleeting moments into lasting memories.
I specialize in romantic wedding photography, where I capture all the intimate details and emotions of your big day, as well as fun-filled family sessions that highlight the laughter and connection shared between loved ones. Every session is carefully curated to reflect your story and preserve those special moments.
In addition, I’m passionate about empowering women through my boudoir sessions at VIXEN by Melody Ellis. At my intimate studio, I create a safe and confident space where you can embrace your beauty, strength, and sensuality. Whether it’s a gift for yourself or a special someone, my boudoir sessions are all about self-love and confidence, celebrating the incredible woman you are.
I’m here to listen, guide, and create images that truly represent you—because every moment is worth remembering.
You'll never know how much a moment meant to you until a photo is all you have left - trust me to make sure it’s a great one!

"Melody has seriously outdone herself with our crew!! If you need any family pictures made, I could not recommend her more. Our wild crew put her to the test and she was so graceful and patient with all of us and the horses (we all know how that can go)."

"Melody went above and beyond to make sure that we captured some beautiful pictures of our special day. We have these pictures hung up all over our house! She showed up, captured the pictures perfectly, even after finding out that she had just had her precious son a few weeks prior. She took the lead, was defiant, and made sure that our family members and guests made us feel comfortable during our wedding shoot. I cannot praise Melody enough for her time and patience that she provided for our special day."

"I have worked with Melody for years. These are our 2021 fall family photos. I have taken boudoir photos, anniversary theme, and many family setting portraits with her. We go over what I expect, images to be expected, schedules I can work with, and a setting conducive to my theme. I have always been responsible for the theme I create. She is the photographer and there to capture the moments. She is creative, professional, able to direct, and works very well with children."

"This is for the girls who aren't in love with their body right now! Neither was I. I'm 6 months postpartum. [...] Then I got to meet Melody who was an absolute professional. All the women there made me feel welcome, comfortable, and beautiful. Melody took her time and showed me everything. She made me feel like a true model. They embrace every body type! [...] I walked out of there feeling like a million bucks! I'm SO glad I got out of my comfort zone and I promise you, I will be back!! Do it ladies!!!"

"Melody is EXTREMELY talented, professional, and timely with her work. I would highly recommend her ANY DAY! She’s taken photos of my family for years! She has an AMAZING EYE for quality. She will admit if she’s done wrong or an error was made and honors her word. If I could give her 10 stars I would! 10/10 recommend!"

"Melody is one of the most inspiring and professional photographers I’ve ever met. She’s a magician with that camera and her work shows that. She always goes above and beyond for her clients and it reflects in every photo she’s created!! No matter the moment you want celebrated, she can do it and will astound you with her talent. She is polite, professional, encouraging & very attentive to the details. I cannot say enough about her so do yourself a favor & book her for your next special occasion."

"You don't make a photograph with just a camera.
You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved."
