Newborn, maternity, family & wedding photography

Hi, my name is

Mel.

Real moments beautifully told.

You want photos that feel like you - no stiff poses or Pinterest replicas, just the honest, real moments beautifully told. I get it, time moves too fast, our babies grow up too quickly, you're rushed off your feet and all you want is a moment to connect and capture the love that is truely there. My role? To press pause on the everyday chaos and translate this into images that feel like a memory - honest and unmistakably you.

Capturing all the moments, feelings & light that live between you & your people.


I am married and a mama to two beautiful kids.

I love nothing more than helping Families, Newborns and Couples press the pause button on their gorgeous life.  


Becoming a mum changed everything for me. Not only did I become a blubbering mess at the slightest sad story (or happy to be honest) - I also learnt how quickly time really does go. It slips through your fingers quicker than you think, reminding us just how important it is to capture the moments that matter the most.


I love how photography captures these moments in time- a loving look between a mum and her child, connection between you and your favourite people, a love story that is unmistakably yours.


Being able to capture these moments is such a gift, one that I'd love to be able to create for you.

"Most clients are with me long term- at least one session per year & are with me from Maternity through teenage years! 

When I'm not taking photos you will find me


Enjoying a Gin & Tonic or spicy Margarita with the hubby & friends

Pilates with the girls

At work, I'm a theatre Nurse, so scrubbed, handing instruments to surgeons

Hanging out with my two kids, bike rides, kids parties and beach days

"Having struggled through my pregnancy both physically and mentally, I really wanted to be able to look back and appreciate the journey. It's not easy being infront of the camera, well not for me - how to stand or look at the camera. Mel made me feel so at ease, relaxed and I actually had a ball. Having captured my maternity, fresh 48 (7 hours old) and our family sessions- we are absolutely in love with our photos."
