Everything I do is rooted in a deep desire to create beautiful and authentic photography of the little people in your life. I adore natural light & golden hour. I'm so glad you are here. I LOVE photographing people and I know you will love your time with me! I specialise in family and childhood portraits with the occasional wedding here and there.
My sessions are fun, relaxed, low pressure, and real.

Services
Send me an email here. I arrange a time for us to have a quick chat over the phone to arrange date, time & location for your session. Then I will send you a booking link. This will take you to my online secure booking system. Tick a few boxes, answer a few questions and you are all set. It couldn't be easier!
They are perfect for an update of your family portraits, as a gift for someone (they make GREAT presents!) or no real reason at all. Mini Sessions are also perfect for families who aren't ready to commit to a full session, but want get a taste of a portrait session with me. The sessions are shorter (30 mins) than my usual portrait sessions (60 mins) but a reduced session time does not mean reduced quality.

Thank you ever so much to Melanie for capturing these gorgeous photos for us a few months ago. A teething 6 month old and our very energetic Finn at 7pm at night sounds scary right but look at the beautiful… shots she has created.
Melanie has done weddings for many years now but has just recently opened her bookings to portrait and family sessions. Melanie will instantly put you at ease- she engaged so well with our children and the photos that we got instantly showed our baby girls sweetness and captured our sons fun-loving side so well. We love them!

Melanie is absolutely amazing and we cannot recommend her enough! Melanie is such a beautiful person, she always smiling, happy and so professional. She is very organised; her attention to detail is amazing and very prompt in her replies to emails and messages. We had Melanie as our photographer for our engagement shoot and knew straight away that… we wanted her to be our wedding photographer. On the day of our wedding nothing felt rushed and she went above and beyond to make sure we all felt comfortable, relaxed and made sure we were all having fun. After only two days we received our sneak

Melanie is simply the best. When we had our initial meeting, I was amazed at how friendly and bright she was, but also incredibly professional. It is truly hard to find that as it tends to swing one way or the other. She was a breath of fresh air and I immediately knew I wanted her a part of my wedding day. She is a prompt communicator and will not leave you stressed out and wondering. This is very hard to find in the wedding industry. What amazed me most about Melanie was that in the 2 meetings we had prior to the wedding, things that I had just mentioned briefly or in passing, she took note of

We can’t thank Melanie enough for everything she did for us on our wedding day. She was always so friendly and organised and polite to everyone. Our guests all mentioned how fantastic she was and her attention to detail was exceptional. Her warm and friendly personality meant that we all felt so relaxed around her and her amazing photography talent is second to none. From the very bottom of our hearts we are so thankful and appreciative that she was able to be a significant part of our special day! 💕

Mel was our photographer for our wedding on February 24th! We had the best day and Mel made it even more amazing! From the moment we booked in with Mel she made every step so easy! She is highly organised and… knew exactly what needed to be done throughout the day! One of the best decisions we made was booking Mel to photograph our day! We received our sneak peak photos 2 days after the wedding and we couldn't be happier! We can't wait to see the rest of your incredible work! Thank you once again Mel, you truly are a superstar! xoxo

Mel was the photographer for our wedding in July this year. Mel was super friendly and fun to work with. She was very organised and knew what she was doing. The images we received are beautiful, we were so… excited when the sneak peak came through. She has been professional and timely throughly the whole process. We would highly recommend choosing Mel! We are so happy with our images. Thank you so much!

Mel was the photographer for our wedding on Saturday and I couldn't recommend her enough!! She was brilliant from the moment we booked her. She was so organised and efficient and paid serious attention to detail! We live interstate and Mel went to the trouble of travelling 500km so we could have our engagement shoot in our home town- and due to the… storms in Adelaide recently, she took several hours on her day off to drive me around Adelaide to make sure that the places we had chosen for our photos were still going to be suitable. She has gone well beyond the call of duty every step of

This woman is incredible! I cannot express how amazing she is as a human being and as a photographer. Melanie shot our wedding on the 16th July 2016 and has created the most beautiful photos of captured moments throughout the day. I need you all to choose her as your wedding photographer, it is the only way you will have the most beautiful, clean, elegant and incredibly fun photos of your special day. You will not be disappointed! Thank you so much Melanie! x
