behind the lens
An introvert at heart
I’m a big believer in preserving life’s little moments — the soft smiles, playful paws, quiet connections, and all the things that are easy to miss when you’re busy living them.
You can think of me as a bit of a silent observer behind the camera. I’ll happily hang back, watch things unfold, and step in with a little direction whenever you need it.
As an introvert myself, I know how awkward being in front of a camera can feel. So more than anything, I want your session to feel easy, comfortable and like a space where you can simply be yourselves.

How it all started
A Mello View began as a small, personal love project inspired by my poodle Millo. Somewhere along the way, I had the bittersweet realisation that our time together will never feel long enough — and one day, these ordinary moments will be the ones I’ll want back the most.
So I started documenting more of them. The zoomies, the cuddles, the fleeting head tilts, and all the little everyday things that are so easy to overlook while we’re busy living them.
Over time, AMV grew beyond Millo’s story into a space for preserving those same kinds of connections — between pets and pawrents, families, little ones and even brands. Not just how things looked, but how that season of life felt.
Because the moments themselves may be fleeting, but having something that brings you back to them years from now is a little bit like getting to keep them.

The feeling
I care just as much about how a photo feels as how it looks. The light, colours and mood of each session guide the final edit, so your gallery feels true to the day rather than like a one-size-fits-all preset.
A little direction
You won’t be left wondering what to do. I’ll suggest where to stand, sit, walk or interact, then give you space to react naturally. A little guidance, without making everything feel posed.
Curated with intention
I’ll choose the images that best tell the story of your session and bring them together into a thoughtfully edited gallery — the big moments, the quiet ones, and all the good bits in between.
