Melanie Robertson Photography in Carlsbad's Poinsettia district is a PPA-certified, women-owned portrait studio that has earned two separate PPSDC Senior Photographer of the Year awards for San Diego County. The studio designs each graduate's session around their personality and aesthetic, from wardrobe planning and pre-shoot hair coordination at Twig Hair Lounge to final gallery delivery with retouched prints and digital files. Beyond senior portraits, the Palmer Way location produces corporate headshots and personal branding packages for Carlsbad business owners needing multi-image campaigns for LinkedIn profiles and marketing collateral. Founded in 2010, the studio holds active PPA membership and has received recognition from Portrait Masters and SYNC competitions in addition to the PPSDC honors. Archival printing and fine-art mounting for the studio's heirloom wall-art collections run through The Great American Photo Lab on Avenida Encinas, keeping the entire production pipeline within Carlsbad. Senior packages combine studio-lit sessions on Palmer Way with golden-hour shoots along Carlsbad State Beach, delivering retouched digital galleries, archival-grade prints, and custom-designed canvas wall art.
