"Never compare your journey with someone else's. It's a marathon with no finish line. Someone else may start out faster than you, may seem to progress more quickly than you, but every runner has his own pace. Your journey is your journey, not a competition. You will never "arrive". No one ever does."
I found this quote on ILP and straight away it appealed to me - I love looking at other photographers' photos - oohing and aahing over them, but I also love the style of photos that I take, and let's face it, I am not a professional by any means, but I think I do okay and get better every time I get my camera out. Well I hope so anyway!
I learn something new every day. (how cliche is that LOL)
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....

So true mate! I couldn't agree more. I find myself doing this too. Nic x
I couldn't agree more either. I have to remember this when I think of how far I've come and how far I think I SHOULD have come.
I'm loving your work, Mel, and can't wait to see what you come up with when you get the new toy!!
Take care xxx
