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....

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!

Mud, Rain & Manure

A sneak peek from my portfolio shoot yesterday at Humevale (Jayne's house - just stunning!)

This is Kristy - it was her first shoot so I hope she is pleased with these!






I really enjoy taking photos of these aspiring young models - they are such fun to capture! So I have decided to take a real vested interest in this...... so I will be shooting my models under the name "Wild Cherry Portfolios" from now on... I will still have forget-me-nott for the other stuff, but I wanted something a bit funkier for the older chicks!
