Hi, I'm Mel.

There's something incredibly special about welcoming a family during the first days of life with their new baby. It's a privilege I'll never take for granted.

As a mum of two, I understand just how quickly this time passes. The anticipation of pregnancy, the overwhelming love when your baby arrives, and those tiny details that seem to change overnight.

That's why Little Story Portraits is about so much more than beautiful photographs.

My role is to take care of you while creating artwork your family will treasure for generations. From wardrobe styling and gentle guidance to every little detail, I want you to feel completely supported from the moment you enquire until the day you unwrap your finished artwork.

Over the years my style has become quieter, simpler and more focused on genuine connection. I'm drawn to honest emotion, beautiful light and timeless portraits that never feel dated.

When I'm not in the studio you'll usually find me walking the family dog, watching my kids play soccer, or doing the school run with a coffee in hand.

I'd love to welcome you into the studio and help you remember this beautiful chapter of your family's story.
