the experience
Expect a session filled with laughter, movement, and those in-between moments that make your story yours. My goal is to make every second enjoyable while capturing timeless, raw emotions that you’ll relive every time you look at your images.
This is not just a photosession; it’s about making memories, cherishing love, and celebrating you. So let’s create someting that feel as good as it looks, and lasts forever!
From the moment we connect, it's all about you. No stiff poses, no forced smiles—just real, genuine moments that feel like you. I’m here to create a space where you feel comfortable, confident, and fully seen, so we can capture the kind of images that bring you right back to this moment.

An Experience to Remember

Once you reach out, I’ll personally respond with all the details, including pricing and next steps.
If you'd like, we can hop on a quick video call to chat through your vision — especially for weddings, proposals, or if you just love a more personal start. I’ll also ask a few questions to get to know you better and see if there’s anything special I can add to make your session even more meaningful (think: candy bags for the little ones or a small surprise for your anniversary).
This part is all about connection — and making sure you feel excited, heard, and fully supported.
1. let's connect
We’ll work together to choose a location that fits your vibe and is close to where you’re staying, so you can enjoy your time on the island without rushing.
Need help picking outfits? I’ve got you. Want a little guide on how to prep? I’ll send tips your way.
Soon, I’ll be adding short questionnaires and moodboards to personalize the session even more — because no two stories are the same, and yours deserves to be treated with care.
2. Planning the magic
This is where the magic happens — relaxed, fun, and full of real connection.
I’ll gently guide you with easy poses and playful prompts (think: tickles, inside jokes, or a soft forehead kiss) to bring out the natural, candid moments that matter most.
Most clients leave feeling like they’ve just hung out with a friend — and honestly, that’s exactly how I feel too.
This isn’t work to me. It’s memory-making with good people.
3. Your session
For proposals, you’ll receive a sneak peek within 24 hours — I know how exciting that moment is.
For all other sessions, you’ll receive a preview within a few days, and your full gallery shortly after — typically within 1–3 weeks, depending on the flow and selections.
Right now, I’m working on offering beautiful extras like prints and albums (and I already offer décor setups for special moments like proposals!). I want every part of this experience to feel intentional, thoughtful, and true to you.

The Experience
Mike & Rianne
Very good coordination, fast communication and on the day itself she knew exactly what to do and we mainly followed her good advice! All our guests were also very pleased with her. I can recommend Melanie to everyone! A real winner.
Melanie was the photographer for our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer!
"couldn't have asked for a better photographer!"
Nick & Violet
She was a really supportive photographer and made some fantastic shoots, in a very beautiful location that she chose. The contact beforehand was very nice and we both felt completely at ease during the shoot. We are so happy with the result, far exceeding our expectations. A very valuable memory!
Together with my girlfriend we had a "sexy" couple beach shoot in Curacao with Melanie.
"A very valuable memory!"
Dave & family
Melanie's communication skills were great before, during, and after the photos were sent to us. We combined 2 families (9 people) in our photo shoot and Melanie was able to keep us focused and get the job done well. She is a true professional with fun photo ideas and beautiful scenery recommendations at a very reasonable price. Enjoy working with her...You'll be glad you did!
Our whole experience with Melanie was amazing! Every detail was addressed with professionalism.
"All I can say is, "Wow!"
