The beautiful, fleeting chaos of belonging.
Family sessions are a chance to pause — to gather your people, embrace the beautiful chaos, and be seen just as you are.
Photographed in golden light, at home or outdoors, with access to a thoughtfully curated wardrobe — this is your story, told simply and honestly.
Let’s make time stand still, just for a moment.
Family sessions are for immediate family only. Please see my Extended Family experience for larger groups.
Plus, add the 'Our Story' package to include the written story of your family alongside your images, presented in a linen album.
Why book your Family photoshoot with Melina?
Because I see you. I am you.
As a mother of three, I know how quickly time slips through our fingers — and how deeply we long to hold onto it.
I’m not here for perfect poses. I’m here for the curl that brushes a cheek, the cheeky grin, the quiet pride of motherhood, the strength in a father’s arms.
This is your love, your connection, your story — captured with intention and heart.
It’s an honour to preserve these moments as heirlooms, for you, your children, and their children too.
If you’re here, I know you value this deeply. I can’t wait to create something meaningful with you.
My client wardrobe, curated just for you
I'm here to help you style your outfits so they best reflect you and create the timeless images I so love to bring to life. Here's just a sample of the mother, newborn and children's client wardrobe I have thoughtfully curated for you to borrow, included at no extra cost. See more here.
My favourite locations
The location of your photos creates the canvas for your art, the backdrop to your story that unfolds in front of the camera. Choose from my natural light Studio in the heart of Geelong, your home or one of my favourite locations in nature. Here is a sample - more details will be provided upon booking.
