Hi! I'm Mel Cieslik
I'm Mel Cieslik, a passionate maternity, newborn, and family photographer based in Western Australia. With 14 years of experience capturing the precious moments of little bubs and their families, I have dedicated myself to perfecting the art of photography and sharing my knowledge with aspiring photographers.
What's more, I wouldn't be where I am today without my strict business acumen and my love of numbers. Without the structure, and analytical mindset, photography can be nothing more than a hobby!

Hear what some of our students have to say.
I can't believe my progress since working with Mel. I started off with one of her self paced courses. But soon realised, she was a wealth of knowledge. And I needed a series of one on one sessions to customise my own learning program. Best money I ever spent in my business..

Mellll 🤩 Where have you been all my life!? I loved how easy your courses are to follow. I didn't realise how much smoother my workflow could be. I have gained back so many hours each week in tedious little tasks!

Up until now, I was shooting whatever I could get my hands on. And to be honest, I was mediocre at everything. Since I learned to niche I can now focus on newborns, and become a PRO! Well, almost. I didn't realise I was confusing my client base too with all sorts of photography.
