Kylie & Kids | Grey Skies | Gold Coast Family Photos

A few favourites from my session with beautiful Kylie and her vibrant children.  Kylie has bounced back from breast cancer, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and a mastectomy.  In her words, “I’ve had the works”.

What I love about Kylie is her positive attitude.   Throughout her illness, she choose to focus her energy on the things that mattered most to her.  Her family.  You can see the delight she has in her children in the following images.

It was a pleasure to take these photos for you Kylie ♥

Amy Steed - Beautiful work Melissa! Do you use photoshop actions for your editing, or is this just done on your own? The coloring is fantastic.

admin - Thank you Amy!
Yes. I do all my own editing. I have made a couple of my own action/pre-sets that suit the way I shoot.
But then EVERY photo is still individually looked at. I find mostly if white balance and exposure are right, that colours fall into place.

Vicki Waters - So glad you did this amazing photo shoot with Kylie. She so deserves it. She is such a strong lady and a definate inspiration to us all. I’ve known Kylie since she was about 2. When we got the news that she was cancer free it was one of the best days of my life!!! My husband and I were speechless! !!! Thank you again for giving her these amazing photos!!!

Anita and Family | Gold Coast Family Photography

Introducing my baby sister Anita and her sweet, sweet family.  Anita is number 6 of 7 sisters.  She took all of our advice about dating and Love and landed herself Justin – a very loving husband (the best friend variety) and a gentle father.  I just adore this little family.  Warning…..mega photo-share……and I am holding back here.

Helen & Thane Married | Wedding Photography Brisbane

Remember Helen and Thane?  Well, their special day finally arrived and yours truly was asked to help document the occasion.  I found out that one of Thane’s hobbies is Sailing –  I’m told he has an enormous stack of sailing magazines so I was glad we venture down the Kangaroo Point cliffs to have some photos by the water.  It makes sense that they went on a Pacific Island cruise for their honeymoon too – Jealous much!

I saw this unaccredited quote recently…..”ONE DAY, someone will walk into your life and make you see why it never worked out with anyone else”.  I was in the process of choosing images for this post and thought of the years that it has taken for Helen and Thane to finally be together.  So Happy for the two of you   xoxo Melissa

PS:  Was SUPER happy Helen loved her photos. Here is some of what she wrote to thank me ….

“I just love the photo’s, I have some favourites and I am working through looking at them. You captured some wonderful moments.
I dont know how to thank you, I am still thinking that through.  I am so glad that you captured some beautiful ones of my boys with me, i love the silly ones too. and the ones of the girls and I are wonderful…”
