Portrait Sessions ~ I absolutely love being able to show woman how beautiful they are, inside and out, before and after. These sessions are always a lot of fun and a beautiful pamper day to experience by yourself or make it a awesome girls day out.
The session fee is $145 this includes hair and make-up done by a professional along with use of all the studio gowns and accessories!! (I have sizes 6-24 as well as little girls dresses!)
Each additional lady is $100.
Girls under 7 are $70 if they require hair and 'make-up.'
Pre Teen Fine Art Sessions ~ Fine Art Sessions are quickly becoming a favourite.
I have found during my years as a photographer there seems to be a slight misrepresentation of girls during their tween years in photographs!
This is such an important time in a young ladies life when they are no longer a ‘baby girl’ but not quite a ‘teenager!’ And sadly it’s the time bullying seems to really start to be a thing. That is why I created my fully designed..... FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY SESSIONS
These sessions are aimed at (but not exclusive to) all the gorgeous pre teen girls out there!!! (Aged 7 and above).
The session fee for these sessions is $245 which includes hair and make-up.
And then you buy whatever photos you love.
The session will be designed around your girl and will involve a few more props/accessories than my normal sessions and have a touch of vintage/old world charm about them.
Your girl will be fitted out in not one but THREE outfits designed around HER personality!
The wardrobe for these sessions is completely different than my normal stuff with many items created/purchased just for her session!!! (A fitting appointment will be required for this session where possible).
I can’t wait to make your gorgeous girl shine, and show her just how beautiful she is.

"I have always done everything for everyone else. A typical woman - the last to put myself first.
I wanted to do this to do something that was just for, and about me.
Thank you Melainne for giving me a moment to shine."

Helen
"My Mum & I have always wanted to have glamour photos done, but just never got around to it!! After seeing some of my friends on Facebook and how beautiful their photos were, we decided we would do it!! I am pretty close to my Mum, so it was very special to have the photos done together.
Melainne & Stacey were so lovely and friendly and made us feel beautiful inside & out!!!
Thank you, can't wait to see the photos!!"

And you made us feel very welcome and comfortable."

Amanda
"We had a terrific time, Stacey and Melainne were both so wonderful and easy to get along with. We had a wonderful time and had a few laughs.
Thank you so much Melainne and Stacey for the wonderful experience!"
Jess & Kristy
"I just wanted to see if I could be beautiful for a day, I got a little scared and nearly cancelled thinking I had to be mad to do this.
As it turned out I went and was made to feel welcome and at ease by Melainne and Stacey, then came hair and make up and finally the photo shoot, I was dressed, photographed, dressed, photographed again and again with a few laughs in between, I must admit I felt a bit strange as I'm not a girly girl and they put me in clothes I would not normally put on, but I do wait now with just a large amount of excitement to see the end result.
As I told Melainne, it's been many years since I had a professional take my photo as I'm usually the one hiding, my experience today was amazing and I would recommend Melainne to anyone thinking of having a session done, again I thank them and look forward to seeing the end result.
I also wanted to have a nice photo that I could give my kids so this played a big part in the why I had the done also. Cheers"

Susan
"Melainne's wonderful services starts with amazing customer service that continues beyond the delivery of her amazing product. We have used Art Photography by Melaninne Kelly twice firstly for family photos that impressed our whole family. Secondly, for my beautiful photo shoot that was part of the Real Women champagne. My husband, children and family loved the photos, most importantly I loved them... the only problem was choosing which ones to keep from so many beautiful choices."

"As a person who has always been self conscious about my body it was hard to believe I would ever do a photo shoot.
After losing 30kg and seeing many people I know have a photo shoot with Melainne I decided to treat myself.
I was still nervous when the day arrived but Melainne made me feel very comfortable and glamorous."
Helen

Suzanne
"I met with Melainne and Stacey. Melainne is bright and bubbly and instantly calming, she made me feel welcome and comfortable. Most of all I got to forget my " to do" list for a few hours.
Part of the Every Woman Campaign is helping women find some me time, to forget the number on the calendar, the scales and the clock. To feel proud of their own skin and to provide a memory of them shining forever.
I would like to think I haven't aged or put on weight but it's reality and I want to show I can still shine.
Thank you to Melainne for her photography talent and Stacey for her makeup and hair skills, I'm looking forward to seeing the results."
Michelle
"I have my struggles and flaws like everyone. But yesterday I got to take the time to focus on the things about me that are beautiful. Not just my features, but my life. Thank you Melainne. "
Rebecca
"Thank you Melainne you made us feel warm and welcoming with your bubbly attitude. The photo session was fun and enjoyable. Photos are amazing. Will recommend you."
