Meet Melina

Master of natural light & feminine artistry.

I am... a mother, daughter, sister, friend and wife, and i am ready to share in your most intimate moments.

My goal is to make you feel safe. To create a space where you feel seen, heard, and cherished.

Every family I meet and photograph leaves a lasting impression on my heart and my life…for that, I am deeply thankful.

I’m a mum to two gorgeous littles. A fierce young lady and a little boy with eyes that shine brighter than the morning sun.

They are my world, my inspiration, and there’s nothing more rewarding than them.

Beside me in my chaotic life is my husband, the kind of person who defines selflessness.

Photography has always been an inherent part of my world. Growing up, my father was a skilled photographer, and there was always cameras in my home. Unconsciously, I found myself reaching for them since i was a child, dabbling in the world of photography, videography and animation without realising the connection I was developing.

Some fun facts about me:

  • My go-to coffee is a long black.

  • I love cooking and feeding people.

  • My parents are from Iran.

  • I read SO MANY fantasy books.

  • Cappadoccia is my favourite city in the world.

  • I worked for government for MANY years implementing some cool systems for Defence, Institute of Sport & Services Australia.

  • I love travelling and taking self portraits of the most beautiful places.

  • I would pick the desert over the beach or city any day!

  • I have a bachelors degree in Arts - Animation & Visual Effects.

Tell me about you!
