Meet Ipek
Hi there, I’m İpek (Pronounced as E-Pek). I’m a wife to a wonderful husband and a mom to two amazing children. What began as a passion to learn and create lasting memories of my kids exploded into my business – Melodi Photography. I strive to capture a baby/child’s spirit and a family’s personality. My clients can find themselves giggling, tickling and jumping during my sessions. And in my newborn sessions, I LOVE using timeless props.
random facts
I was born and raised in Turkey and I’ve been living in the U.S since 2007.
If I’m not chasing out sunsets, I’m most definitely chasing my kids.
I have a Master’s degree in Education (that I earned from the University of Oklahoma)
My Heart
By the way, you may be wondering why my business name is called Melodi Photography. It’s because of my daughter whose name is Melodi. Her big blue/gray eyes have always fueled my inspiration in photography.
Thank you so much for taking the time to meet me. Please check out my portfolio and blog to see the photographs of my beautiful clients. If you like my style, go ahead and contact me. I would be so honored to discuss how I could capture you and your loved ones in your/their best.
The Studio
Melodi Photography home-studio is where I create the newborn, baby and child photographs. The studio is stocked with backdrops, wraps, hats, bonnets, headbands, rompers and baskets for the beautiful newborns, babies and kids.

May is a special month for me… it’s when this little dream of mine officially began.📸
This month marks 11 years since I started my photography business — and what a journey it has been! ❤️
From my very first session to now, I’ve had the honor of capturing thousands of memories, meeting incredible families, watching little ones grow, and building a business that means so much to me. 🫠
Thank you to every client who has trusted me with your moments, big and small. Your support has shaped this business and my heart in more ways than I can say. 🙏🏻❤️
