Hiya! I'm Mel.


I'm a mother, wife, photographer... I wear many hats. Including Pretzel, here. I'm a Perth based photographer, with a focus on true to life, natural images,


I'm a mother to my son, Oscar, who is my entire world. So, I get it. Photography sessions can be stressful. One promise here though, I'll work with you to get the best possible outcomes - all my sessions are collaborative efforts.


I will never expect your children to sit perfectly still. In fact, I'll encourage you all to play. That's where the magic happens.
