My Lens, Your Story





















































Always in the right spot at the right time! Mel captured some of the most UNREAL shots on our womens surf retreat. Some incredibly special moments shared with an epic group of girls, and the girls are all leaving with some beautiful photos of our time together thanks to Mel. Highly recommend and can’t wait to work with Mel again.

“We were so lucky to have Mel as the photographer for our Byron Bay Womens Surf Retreat - What an absolute legend she is! Mel went above & beyond to get the best shots of all the girls, both in & out of the water. Her talent & passion definitely didn’t go unnoticed! Most importantly, her energy & charisma were a great addition to the group - always lifting us up with her smile & contagious laughter! Can’t wait to work with Mel again & see more of her work on other epic trips!
