Iammel Photography • Adelaide photographer bio picture

Welcome...

Hi, I am Mel. I'm a professional photographer located in Adelaide, South Australia and specialise in natural light photography for newborns, babies and children. Here you'll find samples of my work or head over to my website to see session information and my portfolio of photographs.

I am a graphic designer by trade and have ten years experience working in graphic pre-press, art and design. I worked as Art director for one of Adelaide's leading printing agencies until picking up my first SLR camera in 2005. It was then that I fell in love with the art of photography and started this journey. I LOVE children! My sessions are never rushed and I aim for natural candid photography your family will cherish for a lifetime.

A little about me, I am 34 years and have 4 amazing kids ranging from 2 to 10 years old. Photography comes from my heart and I love capturing the happiness of children! Please email me if you would like more info on pricing or to inquire about a photo session.

I have finally found time to post on my much neglected blog. 2011 was an absolute amazing year and I got to meet so many gorgeous people, lots and lots of newborns and many repeat children. This year has started even busier and i’ll be hopefully updating the website and blog over the next few weeks. Look out for lots of new postings.

Much love, light and laughter. Mel xxx

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.  What you have caught on film, is captured forever…it remembers the little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” ~ Aaron Siskind
