"I have been photographing people and capturing their stories for some time now.
I also specialise in black and white photography. My approach: No props. No awkward posing. Just to  create a space that is inviting, safe and encouraging you to be your first best self.."
- Melissa Mills
Rockhampton's Internationally Accredited and Awarded Photographer

​YOUR ENTIRE SESSION PLANNED FOR YOU
YOUR PHOTO SHOOT IS LIKE PLANNING A LONG RELAXING DAY OF JOY FOR YOURSELF. EXCEPT I TAKE ALL THE WORRY ON FOR YOU. WE DO A 15MIN ZOOM CALL AND TALK PRODUCTS, PRICING, OUTFITS, ETC AND ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. YOU'LL THEN RECEIVE A BEAUTY PREP GUIDE, A STYLING GUIDE, A VENDORS GUIDE, WHAT TO EXPECT FOR YOUR SESSION, WHAT TO BRING, AND HOW TO GET TO THE STUDIO. 
(IF YOU'RE COMING FROM OUT OF TOWN, I HAVE A GUIDE FOR THAT TOO!)

SHOOT DAY 
THIS IS LIKE MEETING A FRIEND FOR COFFEE!
YOU'LL ARRIVE AND WE GET YOU SETTLED IN, SHOW YOU AROUND AND TOGETHER WE MAKE A HOT BEVERAGE OF YOUR CHOICE, WHILE I TELL YOU ABOUT  THE FLOW FOR YOUR SESSION.  PHOTO SHOOTS HAVE A MININUM OF 2HRS AND A MAXIUM OF 4HRS BECAUSE WE DON'T RUSH AND WE DON'T WANT YOU TO EITHER.  WE WANT YOU TO FEEL RELAXED AND WE GO TO GREAT LENGTHS TO CREATE A VIBE THAT REFLECTS THIS FOR YOU.

IMAGE REVEAL 
THE DAY AFTER YOUR SESSION, WE MEET UP ON ZOOM AGAIN, GO THROUGH YOUR PHOTOS AND YOU SELECT WHAT YOU LOVE FOR YOUR COLLECTION.
YOUR ORDER IS THEN PLACED AND THERE IS A MINIMUM OF 4 WEEKS UNTIL PERSONAL DELIVERY BY ME, TO YOUR DOOR WITH YOUR GORGEOUS PRODUCTS.

“As a private couple, we put our trust into someone we only just met and I truly believe she came through which provided us an insight of who we are as a couple. If you are ever looking at getting professional photographs done, I totally and highly recommend Melissa Mills Studio.”

"I've said it before and I'll say it again, what a truly raw, rare and absolutely gifted talent you are. Such fine artistry. To know and understand people and give them a voice through image, how very special. The ultimate embodiment of self, art, love, respect and honour ❤️ what a testament to you and who you are and a legacy for your clients to leave long after they're gone. "

"Is it strange that I want to blow this photo up and display it in my loungeroom?
Melissa Mills Studio has that affect on a woman!"
