About Me

My photo
Terrigal, NSW, Australia
I have been a photographer for 20 years, travelling the world, meeting amazing interesting people and working with some fun, happy families and children. Beachcombing and photography have always been passions of mine. I love wandering along windswept beaches finding treasures that have been washed up on the shore. I am a professional photographer offering creative and candid images of people and places. My photographs tell a story and capture the essence of life. I offer child, family and adult portraiture along with documentary style images of community events, festivals and travel destinations. I hope you enjoy looking through my recent work :o) with love Melanie

Surfers at sunset

OH MY GOD!!! On Saturday night I witnessed one of THE most beautiful sunsets ever!! I saw it starting from my balcony, so I grabbed the camera and ran down to the beach. It was quite surreal, people seemed to move more slowly and many were glued to the sand watching the show that Mother Nature put on for us. I was sooo excited when these surfers came by as the colours were so dramatic!!!

Nature

Communing with nature is so under-rated!! Just taking a walk and looking at the trees and the plants is such a relaxing and wonderous treat!! In my next life I think I will be living in a forest somewhere in the mountains catching fish and talking with bears :o) ha ha!!

Teenage beauty

I had the pleasure of taking photos of my beautiful niece on the weekend. Every time I see her she has changed and gets more and more gorgeous! It was a perfect sunny morning in the garden and here are a couple of pics I took...
