Hello - I'm so glad you're here!


 I've always loved the gift of photography to capture fleeting moments in time that would otherwise be gone forever and this can never be more true than in the context of motherhood. With your little one changing every day, let's pause to take a moment to capture these beautiful days.


Perhaps you're celebrating your next chapter with the new rhythm & pace with a newborn or hoping to capture any stage as you journey through motherhood from pregnancy & beyond - I am here for you & can't wait to tell your story. Within every gallery and client story my goal is to capture a glimpse of your everyday life with your family & babies. My goal and passion for your photographs will be to capture the authentic connections and emotions between you and your family with my signature attention to detail and love of light.  


I can't wait to chat to you about your vision for your photo shoot + images. Please get in touch below!

Testimonials

Natalie


“Our family photo shoot with Melanie was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. She went to so much trouble finding the most beautiful locations plus timing the shoot perfectly to capture the natural glow of the evening light. Her natural light photography has an effortless sense of style and instead of using the cliché, staged poses you often see with family photography, she has a real gift for capturing real-life, precious moments beautifully.”
