Melissa Timme - Photographer, artist, pickleballer

I have been practicing photography since 2001 - back in the "old" days when film was the norm and digital was dream. I’ve seen and captured a lot of love from behind the lens in those 21 years and I absolutely love doing it! I started as a headshot photographer in Los Angeles, then expanded to Family Photography in Seattle around 2012. Most recently on Bainbridge Island, I’ve joined forces with two very lovely and talented people to expand into Wedding Photography with Stephen Brashear Photography and Boudoir Photography with Tina Gulhammer Frei.

In order to keep Timme Photo rated PG, Tina and I created another creative entity called Wild Rhapsody - where we do boudoir a little different. Check out our portfolio!

I love to look through the lens and see the complex beauty of each individual. I love that I can do what I love doing. The camera allows insight into a person that the eyes alone do not always see.

I am the winner of Red Tricycle's Most Totally Awesome award for Family Photography in Seattle.

I am an award-winning independent photographer and visual journalist based in Seattle, Washington.

My clients have included USA Today, the Chronicle of Higher Education, Getty Images, the Associated Press, New York Times Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Apple, the University of Washington and Bloomberg News Service. I am an Eddie Adams Workshop alumnus and member of the National Press Photographers Association.
