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....

New cool stuff!

I was fortunate enough recently to be able to purchase some lights and some really funky silver umbrella thingys, together with backrops etc. so as I had the day off today and obviously had nothing at all better to do (yeah right!) I had a play with Pippa, who unlike Layla is a most willing participant and will do anything for a biscuit......
This is the set-up I had today:


And here are a couple of shots - not much editing done, just very basic.

Great job Mel. Love the first and second one :). Nice set up. I'm just concentrating on natural light atm. Will move to studio lights in the future but for now I'm happy with natural light. You're doing so well. Nic xx

Thanks Nic! I can't trust Pippa in natural light - she would just run away LOL. Not entirely happy with the post-editing but not bad considering I don't have photoshop! x
