A LETTER FROM MELINA
I know something
about you
already.
You're standing at the edge of a chapter that will never come again. The bump. The tiny hands and feet. The absolute chaos of a house that just became a family.
The photographs you don't take are the ones you'll ache for. I'm a mother too and I built Lunette because I refused to let women miss their own story.
My work has been featured in Vogue Australia, Lensational and Heartful Magazine. But the messages I treasure most arrive years later: "Melina, these are the only photographs I have from this time."
I take a maximum of 4 sessions per month by design so I can be present in my own motherhood journey and so yours will have my full presence, creativity and heart.

SERVICES
01
Maternity Sessions
Raw, honest, and deeply intimate portraits of your pregnancy. The kind you'll look back on and feel everything all over again. Solo, with your partner, or with your whole family.
02
Newborn Sessions
Gentle, unhurried, completely baby-led. In your home, in the first precious days, before everything changes. Parents and siblings warmly included.
03
Family Sessions
The laughter, the snuggles, the beautiful everyday chaos captured in golden light or at home for keeps. Authentic connection, never forced or posed.
WHY LUNETTE
A different kind of
session.
My sessions are intentionally limited, deeply personal, and designed around your comfort — not my calendar.
01
GENUINELY UNHURRIED
Maximum 6 sessions a month — always. You are never squeezed in between five others. You have my full presence.
03
SYDNEY-WIDE TRAVEL
Travel included across greater Sydney. Golden beaches, sunlit fields, lush forests, or your own home. Your vision, your location.
02
SIZE-INCLUSIVE WARDROBE
A curated collection of maternity gowns for every body. Just show up — I take care of everything else.
04
PROFESSIONAL EDITS
Every image is retouched to a editorial standard. Skin is refined, tones are perfected, and each photograph is polished.
TESTIMONIALS
★★★★★
"I will treasure these forever"
I was so nervous before my session but Melina made me feel completely at ease. The images are breathtaking she captured something I didn't even know was there and i felt even more beautiful than i did in my wedding photos. I will treasure these photographs forever.
— Lauren, first time mother
★★★★★
"Absolutely breathtaking"
Our newborn session with Melina was the most peaceful, magical experience. She was so gentle with our daughter, and the images are like nothing I have ever seen. We will cherish them for the rest of our lives and i cannot reccomend her enough.
— Jessica, newborn client

“I have never felt so beautiful, what a gift to have met Melina”
“Even when I was nude I felt comfortable and never knew I could have the confidence to feel beautiful that way. My maternity photoshoot photos blew me away.
When our baby arrived Melina photographed our newborn with the same warmth and talent. Her ability to chase light and document genuine moments is incredible and her loving nature makes everything comfortable.
If you seek the best photographer in Sydney I wholeheartedly recommend her.”
