Studio based in Norman Park, Brisbane, Australia.

The No Make Up “Empowering Portrait Experience” is more than a photo shoot ... it's a celebration of the TRUE YOU, being present and taking time for you.

Yes, you are doing this for YOU! My mission is to show YOU ARE ENOUGH just as you are RIGHT NOW.

I see the female form as “art” no matter the shape or size. There is no such thing as being photogenic, it is my job to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. This is when your real light shines.

You’ll feel like a model in the most fun and gentle way. It is about embracing who you are, your inner beauty and building confidence. This will be a new world of feeling beautiful, proud and confident with no makeup.

The women you see on my gallery are not professional models, they are women just like you who are guided by me in every pose. With my positive and comfortable space your nerves will just drop away. You don’t need to know how to pose or move in front of the camera, all you have to do is just turn up and leave the rest to me…I dare you.

Meet Your Photographer

Hi, I’m Mel and a portrait photographer. I specialise in creating photography experiences that empower women to find the courage to be proud of who they are through raw authentic black and white portraits.

What Our Clients Say

What an AH-MAZING experience! Mel captured my personality beautifully. Every time I look at my photos I see a reflection of qualities I want to be reminded of on a daily basis – elegance, sophistication, courage and strength. Sometimes I think… is that really me? She is beautiful! These are photos I know I will be proud to be staring back at for years to come, and I’m so happy to have this captured in time. Mel’s ability to bring out inner beauty and physical beauty is next level and something I’m so grateful to have experienced. Her direction and skills are to be trusted and admired.

FAQs

I am not photogenic and I can’t see how I would look good in photos?

There is no such thing as being photogenic. I will help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, photograph you in the most beautiful way and you have to trust I can see it. I will help you take up space and own who you are, that is your inner power. This is when you let your guard down and the magic begins to happen…. I will see your light shine inside you and your true authentic self becomes more visible. That is what I want to photograph for you, your inner beauty. What you thought were your imperfections become your perfect imperfections. When you are most afraid of doing something, it is pretty exciting to challenge yourself to do it. I challenge you to sit in front of my camera and give me the opportunity to see what I can see, but more importantly show you what other people love about you. Remember I will help you every step of the way to prepare you and guide you through the photography session. My studio is a beautiful safe space with stunning soft light. You would be surprised how many clients have walked away with photographs they love who have said the same thing.

I want to experience this but I am way too nervous. What should I do?

I say fill out the form! I understand this can be scary, but once you arrive at my studio your nerves will disappear because you will be having so much fun and my studio will feel safe and warm. None of my clients walk away feeling nervous after their shoot with me, instead they feel like they are floating on air, liberated, powerful and the most beautiful woman in the world. At the end of the day I am guided by your energy and my mission is to help you feel as relaxed as possible so you forget you have a camera pointed at you. You will connect with your inner child and experience having fun like you never have before. Have you looked at my gallery? Do they look nervous? They all forget about the fact that they were being photographed. If we don’t embrace fear and try new experiences we don’t grow as a person. It is not just about the photographs and the end product, it is about the whole experience.

I can’t imagine a photo of me with no makeup?!

Have you looked at my gallery, do you think they look beautiful? Because none of these women have make up on. I am a master of light and shadow and you would be surprised how beautiful you are when you smile. I would love to show who you are and your inner beauty without makeup as this is your most true authentic self. It is very liberating to be able to just show up as you are, be seen for the person you are and say ‘this is me’.
