I am soo lucky! What a beautiful, simple magic day we all shared on Mothers Day at our favourite spot down the beach from our house. Our own private little rockpool oasis, where we caught a couple of crabs and little fish, I swam in the clear sparkling ocean and the kids just enjoyed being free.....heaven!
About Me
- Melanie McHale
- 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

cool dude
I really enjoy taking photos of guys -they are so laid back and natural and often they enjoy just having a good pose as well!! These shots were taken at The Entrance boat shed, my favourite place to rent a little boat with the kids on a sunday afternoon...

Cafe photoshoot
I was lucky enough to be asked to do a photo shoot of my favourite cafe, Lotus at Wamberal where I go everyday for my coffee fix. The new owners have done a beautiful job renovating and styling a once run-down, dark space. Now it is full of light, colour and ambience. Goodluck with your business guys! Love your style :o)

Country fun
I just love Autumn in the country -crisp sunny days, log fires, lying under trees watching the clouds drift by....and hearing the laughter of family. We all had such a wonderful time on the weekend catching up and playing games.

Birthday Boy
My darling little fella, just turned 3 -what a momentous occasion. No longer a baby, and sooo grown up! He is ready to start big school but we think it's a bit soon :o) I just love Birthday parties! We don't go overboard, it's the simple things like popping balloons and eating cupcakes for breakfast that they love. One present is all they get and all they know, so we are laughing!
It won't last long!!
It won't last long!!

Shell Dreaming
I am going to start selling my images soon and I just wanted to share a few of my latest collection which I adore, called Shell Dreaming. Over the years I have collected some amazing treasures on my travels including coral from atolls in the Maldives, huge shells from the Fijian Islands, starfish from Queensland, sand dollars from the US and anemones from the Central Coast. Every time I look at a shell I smile as they really are gifts from the deep. I especially love it when the boys hold one up to their ear and marvel that they can hear the sea! Hope you like them xoxox
