Hi, I’m Melody

“I love the fact that the little things are often those we look back on and realise that they are, in fact, big moments. Some of life’s best stories are created in the small moments.”

Kodo stands for Co-Documenting. This means we capture your story together, building strong relationships that allow me to document your life through all its milestones. From births to family sessions, formals, weddings, and even life celebrations, I've been honoured to capture stories that span entire lifetimes.  

My favourite moments of childhood are not the perfect smiling images that circulate at Christmas time. They're the days as a toddler spent out running through the sprinkler in a hot Aussie summer, or now, as an adult, the sunsets spent by the outdoor fire with family, with the kookaburras singing and gum trees surrounding us. 

It’s the little moments that are significant.  

And my approach is all about capturing the stories between frames.

I am not about capturing picture-perfect snaps or a fleeting post for your Instagram. It’s about capturing the emotions, the history, and the journey of each family filling the frame. My sessions are designed so that you do not have to worry about colour-coordinating outfits or forcing smiles. There is no pressure for your kids to be on their perfect behaviour, or for you to feel like someone you aren’t.

Just come as you are.

Your story matters.

Let’s capture it.
