The Beauty of Togetherness
The bond of a family is like no other and gathering together with extended family is rare and wonderful. Capturing this togetherness to keep for a lifetime - and generations to come - is a priceless memory.
My extended family sessions are designed to capture your whole family in a moment, together.
Take this time to relax into a moment with those you love most, to breathe each other in, to play, laugh, explore and have fun, and I will capture those tender moments of your unique connection to act as a portal back to this time in your lives, forever.
I will capture photos including individuals, siblings, couples, cousins, families and of course, the whole family, together. I'm about connection and real laughter.
Enjoy complimentary access to my high-end client wardrobe as we capture these moments in your home - your sanctuary, or amongst the golden hues of nature.
Plus, add the 'Our Story' package to include the written story of your family alongside your images, presented in a linen album.
I know it's not often families are able to gather together en masse and I understand the effort to coordinate such an event, so I thank you for your trust in me to bring your memories to life.
Why book your Family photoshoot with Melina?
Because I see you. I am you.
I am a mother of three small children that are growing right before my eyes and I long to make time stand still.
I'm not about capturing the 'perfect moment' for, in truth, perfection is in every detail. A child's curl kissing their cheek. Their cheeky grin. A woman's pride as she glows in bloom with her child. A father's embrace.
I am about capturing your connection, your love, your story.
I'm honoured to have this opportunity to create a time capsule of your family as you are right now to be remembered and treasured forever. For you, for your children, for your children's children... An heirloom. Your legacy.
I am dedicated to making your experience with me a whole lot of fun and one to treasure for a lifetime. I can't wait to make some magic with you.
