I’m Melanie

I’m an artist, photographer and mom of two awesome kids. I’ve been photographing the everyday magic of children and families for 25 years to preserve and rekindle the wonder of childhood.

My mission is to help kids feel seen and heard.

My vision is a world centred around care and compassion, where children are valued, protected, and empowered to express their full selves.

I believe that the truest, most beautiful parts of us begin in childhood. I never want our children to forget who they are, and who they are is pure magic.

Reach out to book a session – it will be meaningful for your family for generations to come.
