Hi, I'm Melissa - the girl behind the lens!

​

I am an Islander, born and raised in Jersey Channel Islands, the most beautiful place ever! 

 

I’ve always felt really drawn to anything that tells a story. As kids, my brother and I used to flick through tattered albums that introduced us to family members that we either hadn’t met, or that were no longer with us. I often still turn to our family albums to honour the people I love and to remind myself of how beautiful our lives are. These collections of memories instil such a profound sense of belonging for me and what greater gift than to be able to capture them for others.

​

How did I get here? I started off coordinating weddings and quickly realised that my favourite part of the process was photographing elements of the day on my iPhone. So I bought myself a camera and managed to curate a collection of images that I felt proud of. The rest is history! My little business has grown into something much more then I ever anticipated. Just goes to show that when you do something with passion and love, anything is possible. 

​

Photography is so much more than just snapping the shutter. It’s about learning your family story, getting to know who people are and how best to capture your essence. But most of all it's about creating a safe space to express yourself. Documenting these milestone moments for you is what it's all about for me. 

 

When I’m not with camera in hand, you'll either find me in the sea, blasting some 1960's/70's folk, potentially crocheting a blanket, or hanging out with my nearest and dearest!

 

If you’ve made it this far on my website, I hope it’s because you like what I do and feel connected to who I am. 

Our lives are collections of experiences, bonds and a whole load of love. Being chosen and trusted to capture beautiful moments of yours is a total honour.
