Practice makes perfect.... although perfection is so over-rated!

Hi! My name is Mel Nott, and welcome to my photography blog!

My experience with photography first started many years ago when I would quite happily take snaps of anything and anyone, the result being me having dozens of boxes of photographs tucked away in my house, only ever to be looked at again when I am feeling that tug of nostalgia that we all experience.... thankfully in these times of digital photography a whole new world has opened up to me and I am falling in love with photography all over again. I love natural light photography, but am also dabbling in studio work.


After having my four children, who are my treasures, and being lucky enough to be married to a wonderful, supportive and devoted husband, I am now finding little windows of opportunity to explore and experiment with my photos. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I loved capturing them! They are moments that I never wish to forget.......

Capturing the essence of everday life - from pregnancy to birth, newborns, children & families! Professional portraits that reflect the true spirit of your family. Cherished memories never to be forgotten!

No need to purchase a single printed photograph! I charge a flat fee package and provide my clients with all images on cd/dvd. The value is just amazing! No over-priced photo packages or expensive reprints - just the gorgeous photos you want, as you want, when you want. And they are yours to keep!

I am based in Perth, so please feel free to email me at forget-me-nott@live.com if you would like to arrange a session.

Oh, and leave me a comment from time to time - I like to know I am not just talking to myself....

moved {perth photographer}

WOW I haven't posted on here for ages! That's probably because since October last year I have moved to Perth, started a new job, moved again (only a suburb away) and have only now got my study/office set up how I want it and actually unpacked the computer.

Plus, amongst things like kiddies, husbands, chest infections and tooth extractions, I really haven't had a lot of time to myself! But that is all going to change as I get right back into my photography.....

Remember, I only charge a flat fee for a session, which includes digital photographs!

Cheers, Mel

Storyboards

I have never really had much of an inclination to do storyboards, for a variety of reasons... the main one being that I didn't have a clue how to use them LOL

But now I have figured it all out (really it wasn't that hard, I just needed to "apply" myself more!)

So have been mucking around with a few...... the photos aren't the best but you get the idea!



I went away on a girl's weekend in Perth a couple of weeks ago and the last one is just shots from around the garden that I took on the Saturday afternoon in the midst of a hangover after trawling the markets..... he he he

My Pippa

So now it has finally stopped raining, well for yesterday and today anyway LOL I managed to get Pippa out into the backyard to have a play and well, any opportunity to get the old Nikon out!

As usual, she was her very co-operative self and smiled for the camera and posed for me however I wanted her to.... NOT!! I was lucky to get these ones....

Chickenpox

I was asked to do a few shots for a dear friend of mine..... Unfortunately Miss S had chickenpox so I had to clean her up in ps...... I don't think I did a bad job!!!

Master A had a few marks as well which I managed to get rid of! Kids!



I really hope they like them! I had fun.

Play & Noise

Layla looked so delicious tonight with her little bow in her hair LOL

What a pity I was too lazy to go and get the flash so I compromised with bumping my ISO up to what seemed like infinity and just started clicking!

Moody perhaps? Filmy perhaps? Who knows....... I kinda like them!
