More about Melanie S....
What do you love about your job?
I love that I get to work with different people/ settings every single day. I have always been a "creator" and that is what I love. I love that I get to showcase someone's home in a way that makes someone else fall in love with it, whether it big or small. Every day is a different experience, a new day, so whatever challenges the day before bought, it's always new & exciting.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I have done in excess of 6000+ properties for sale, rent or marketing. I have photographed everything from Real Estate, Caravans, Boats, whole Dance studios photo days, large events, such as Relay for Life & taken many family portraits. The photographs I take, capture a moment, I feel it is important to speak with the client about their requirements and end goal. Every shoot is different, and every clients end goals are different. By having knowledge of what these outcomes are when it comes to the shoot day, I know exactly what they want and am ready to capture those special lifetime memories.

A fun fact about this photographer
I left school to become a chef. I always dreamed of travelling with my job, and using it to see the world, this didn't happen as I worked way too much. What it did lead me to, was buying my first house at 19 years old. Today I love cooking for pleasure, to unwind and relax. Crazy but true. I am grateful to have the skills to use to making cooking pleasurable, not a chore. There is nothing more relaxing then making fresh pasta or bread and sitting down at the end of the day & enjoying it with family while watching a beautiful sunset.
