Mel is wonderful to work with. I've had numerous photography sessions over the years and Mel has some of the best editing I've ever received. She is great with small children/family shoots, always prepared with props that keep my toddler's attention and adjusting her vision in line with toddler unpredictability - a variable every parent knows (and fears). Highly recommend!
Mel has been capturing our family memories for over 10 years - engagement, wedding, baby bump, newborn and christenings. As well as updated family shots. Mel is amazing, she captures the essence of our family every time! She goes the extra mile to make everyone relaxed and make it a fun experience for everyone. She even designed us a custom print for our entryway! I cannot recommend Mel from A shot above the rest enough!
Mel was amazing to work with!! She is a professional, creative and very entertaining photographer. The lengths she went to get that perfect shot is a rare find and something that should be commended. Didn’t make us feel rushed and made us all feed relaxed and at ease. The work she did on our wedding photos was just wonderful!!! We cannot thank her enough for the time and effort she putinto making our special day, one to remember for the rest of our lives. Highly recommend Mel and will def be using her again.
Couldn’t recommend A Shot Above the Rest enough! My fiancé and I did the mini engagement session with Melissa and had the best experience. Her professionalism and warmth immediately put us at ease and made everything feel so natural. And the photos are so stunning and immaculate. Melissa is not only great at her job but you can tell how much she loves what she does. Highly highly recommend!!!
If I could give Mel 10 stars, I would! Mel always goes above and beyond in all the sessions my family and I have had over the last 5 years. I love how Mel has been able to capture my babies at every milestone (Newborn, sitting & standing) as well as my very own Maternity and Mummy Makeover portraits. All of these sessions have boosted my confidence and made me feel a million bucks! Every photo taken is absolutely gorgeous and never a disappointment! My 3 kiddos have definitely tested the waters in all our sessions and at every turn point, Mel has been so loving and caring towards them whilst also constantly making them smile for the camera. I have left sessions thinking 'good luck finding a good one, cause that was a challenge...' and every single time she has presented me with 30+ gorgeous images to choose from. Mel is a super lovely person and extremely generous and warm. #1 photographer in Canberra! Thank you Mel!
