    01. CREATING FUTURE NOSTALGIA

    THESE ARE THE GOLDEN DAYS


    I’ve been right where you are. Whether you’re growing a baby, soaking in the blurry newborn days, chasing after a toddler, or finding your way through the beautiful chaos of family life, I know these are the golden days you’ll ache for, and they’re happening right now.


    Let me hold space for you to press pause and soak it all in. I’ll simply capture you as you are, creating something tangible for you to hold onto, to remind you not just of how this season of life looked, but how it felt. And a place you can always return to when you miss them.

    02. Photographs that feel like you

    LIVED IN
    LAID BACK
    TRUE

    your true, authentic selves are at home with me. 


    If you’re not a “photo shoot” person, let me put your mind at ease. I document love, family and all that’s in between, gently and intuitively – simply noticing your magic and creating space for you to be yourselves. All you need to do is show up and love each other, and I’ll do the rest, with honesty and heart.

    KIND WORDS.

    “Mel is the most gentle, kindest person. Everything felt so relaxed and easy.”

    – Chantelle

    Helen.

    “If you’re looking for a photographer to capture the most beautiful memories of you and your family that literally bring you to tears, then Mel is the one. The photoshoot itself felt totally effortless because of how well she had prepared us beforehand. My daughters absolutely loved her from the minute they met, and when I look through the photos, it’s as if Mel managed to see inside my head exactly what I hoped for.”

    Rosie.

    “Who knew such an angel existed? Both my husband and I really dislike having our photo taken. Melanie was amazing, and it felt like we were hanging out for the day. She’s talented, friendly, warm to be around and soooo comfy to have in your home. Thanks so much for taking some beautiful candid shots of our family life.”

    Honestly, 99% of my clients say they’re not “photoshoot people.” But, like you, they’re sentimental at heart and want to preserve this special time. My approach is relaxed and easygoing, and I’ll be there to gently guide you every step of the way. This is a time to simply be present and connect with yourself and your loved ones. You’ll hardly notice the moments being captured, it’s easier than you think, I promise!
