Bio
Melanie is originally from Northwest Indiana. She attended college at Indiana University in Bloomington where she graduated with a double major Bachelors of Arts in Criminal Justice and Sociology. After working as a Detention Officer and a Loss Prevention Detective, she found that she kept using her careers to boost her creative outlet.
Melanie was a long-time lover of vintage and pin-up style photography and culture. She started Ellie CupQuake Photography in 2014 as a new way to share those passions with the world. Her main goal was to let other women see their own beauty, which she has been very passionate about in a culture that tends to break women down. She is completely self taught.
Melanie is proud to work with all shapes, sizes, ages, and styles of women. Although her main focus is on women, she provides photography for everyone including men, children, and trans or non-cisgender people. She also loves to photograph pets!
Ellie CupQuake Photography specializes in pin-up, glamour, boudoir, and horror shoots. However, family, senior portraits, and unique photo shoots are always welcomed and enjoyed!
Melanie is also the creator of Atomic Lucite which was started in April of 2015. She has sold thousands of pieces of her retro themed glittery jewelry worldwide! She currently helps manage the Boom Town Makers Market in Fort Payne, Alabama. It inspires her daily to keep pushing forward in her own work.
