Retrospect Designs

Every photo shoot is a new adventure to me. I love to create!! I do pretty much any kind of photography and I love it all. I also do commissioned pet paintings.

Retrospect Designs is a photography company owned and operated by Melanie McIntire. I take many different types of photos including weddings, senior portraits, babies, children, families, maternity, culinary, bands and fine art. Studio appointments are in a shared studio space in Frederick MD. Contact me for info on scheduling a session outdoors or in studio.

If you want an epic bubble photo, get several bubble guns. They do wonders! Congrats to Jasmine and Marvik!

Molly and Jimmy had a beautiful October wedding! The love they share for each other was reflected in all the happy faces in attendance.

If you're ever wondering how the lighting looks mid day with full sun, this is it! Morningside Inn has the best scenery!

Throwback to a stormy 2018 wedding on Assateague Island. It was very windy and that brown horse snout was blowing around in the funniest way. Good memories 😁
