capturing the moments you want to remember
Hello! I’m Merissa
Mama of two, sunset lover and over user of exclamation marks!
I'm a natural and timeless family photographer in Melbourne. I'm also a left handed, chai drinking, mother of two cheeky rascals, and we live in beautiful Bayside Melbourne. I have always been a creative soul, however it wasn't until my daughter was born in 2015 that I discovered my passion for photography. I was on a mission to capture all the tiny details of her babyhood, intent on documenting every moment. A spark was ignited and my business was born.
The Bay and its glorious sunsets has influenced and shaped my photography, full of sun flares, movements and magical moments. I live for light and have spent many nights chasing my children around the beach, perfecting my golden style. I'm passionate about documenting the fleeting moments of family life, and photographing children at all ages not just as babies! If you are interested in an outdoor sunset photography session with me, get in touch ~ let's make some memories.
