  • GEMMA

    The knowledge Mel has in her craft is mesmerising and watching her do her thing continues to blow me away. Mel has such a beautiful soul and it continues to shine through in each album of photos she has been able to create for me. I would not wish for anyone else to take my photo, the feeling of safety she has created within her business needs to be celebrated!

  • JODI

    I have worked with Melissa on many occasions and every time I am flawed by her incredible talent to literally pour sunshine into every shot. She has a rare talent to capture the pure essence of a moment, the moment between the moment when a smile is just emerging or a cheeky thought has flickered into your eyes.

  • LAUREN

    Melissa, you’ve got an eye for connection, for the moment and an ease in making a photo session feel like it’s something we should be doing all the time. Needing any type of photographs - Melissa is your lady!

  • CHERIE

    I can never quite tell if Melissa captures or conjures a moment. She is magic to work with and produces evocative imagery that tells a vivid story of a human existence. Worth her weight in gold!
