Authentic & Aligned MENTORING FOR STORYTELLERS BUILDING A BUSINESS WITH FEELING
MY ARTIST STORY
BUILDING A LIFE THROUGH STORYTELLING & FEELING
I started this business as a young mum, in the in-between moments of my early motherhood. Nap times, late nights, pockets of calm in the midst of the chaos. I leaned on photography to help me remember my children when they were little. I wanted to hold onto something I could feel slipping through my fingers, the way it all felt.
What began as a way of documenting my own life slowly became something more. A business that grew as my children did. It stretched me, shaped me, and pushed me to evolve with each passing year. In many ways, it became my fourth baby. But also… something that raised me. Through this work, I’ve learned how to see. Not just through a lens, but into the heart of things, connection, softness, the magic of the ordinary days.
I’ve learned how to be an artist. How to follow what I’m drawn to, leaning further in and trusting myself. And alongside that, I’ve learned how to survive and then, slowly, how to build something that allows me to live. A business that supports my family. A life that feels aligned. Work that feels like an extension of who I am. The longer I’ve been doing this, the more I understand why it matters. Not just the photographs, but the life behind them.
And that’s what led me here. To guide other photographers not just in how to take beautiful images, but in how to build something that feels like theirs. Something honest, sustainable, easeful and abundant. Something with depth and feeling…a life they actually want to live.
” MEL instantly made me feel like I was in the company of a friend! She answered the tonnes of questions I had and I feel like I gained so much knowledge which really helped to get my business on the right track. I would absolutely recommend Melanie to anyone!

ONE-TO-ONE MENTORSHIP WITH MELANIE
GROW YOUR OWN WAY
Sometimes, all it takes is a conversation with someone who sees you, hears you, and helps you make sense of where you are right now. This is a space for that.
A place where you can bring whatever you need, questions, uncertainty, and ideas that you haven’t put out into the universe yet, or a business that no longer feels like it fits the way it used to.
This mentoring is for photographers at different stages of their journey. Some come here feeling stuck, working tirelessly, but unsure what to focus on next. Others are at the very beginning, full of ideas, but overwhelmed by where to start. Both are welcome. Because wherever you are, the feeling is often the same: too much noise, not enough clarity, and a sense that you want things to feel simpler, more intentional, and more like you.
I am an open book and here to support you however you need. If you’re ready to grow your business without chasing trends, refine your processes without losing your mind, or begin building a creative path that feels grounded and sustainable, this space is for you.
It can support you in:
Before we meet, you’ll receive a questionnaire designed to uncover where you feel stuck, what you’re craving, and what you want more of.
From there, we shape the session around you.
This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s responsive, personal, and rooted in where you are right now, whether that’s the very beginning or somewhere further along your path.
