El and Dave

I have gone past this abandoned lot many, many times. I have always thought it would be a great place for a shoot. It happened that I stumbled across El and Dave and I thought they would be the perfect pair to try out this location.

They were so amazing in the dodgy territory and broken glass!! Thanks guys for being such troopers.

I really love the shots and it is evident these two young lovebirds (together since they were 16!!) are completely smitten with each other and have an amazing life ahead of them.

Love to you both,

Mel xx

The Miles Family

All I can say is really, how lucky am I. In my work as a photographer I get to meet amazing and beautiful people. this family was SUCH a pleasure to photograph and truly gorgeous on the inside and out, as you can plainly see.

Prue wanted something a little styled for her photos. We came up with a lot of ideas between us and in the end, well, I kind of just had a 'vision'. I found this amazing location and wow! it was like my dream had materialised. In the end I just said to Prue 'trust me' and luckily she had some faith in my idea and I am so very pleased she loved what I came up with.

I am in love with this family and these images. I am so thankful that they let me talk them into getting up super early so we could catch some gorgeous morning light. It was a great shoot and I hope these images tell a lovely story for you. Not only of the morning we had together but of the life you have. I hope in them you will have some memoreis you will treaure forever. I really hope you love them Prue and Brad.  Enjoy. xxx

A Beautiful Family

I LOVE this family. Beth and I have been friends since our mothers group began. Way back when our, now five year olds, were only a few months old. We have a beautiful bunch of mummies, we get along sooooo well, and although our kids have grown and are moving in different directions we still meet and have family times as well as the mummy only dinners we all LOVE. Our next one will involve dresses, heels, and yumy scrummy food, I can't wait!!

But back to this family. When Beth asked me to photograph them, what could I say but 'of course'!!! I had photographed them before when their little Miss O was just a teeny bubba, I was sooo looking forward to shooting them again. Beautiful family, gorgeous property, animals... my dream come true!!  .I think I will let the images tell the rest of the story.

Enjoy. xx
