Hi, i'm melissa

owner & photographer of melissa sprlyan photography

Melissa Sprlyan Photography was established in Spring 2017...

Born in New Zealand, raised here in Perth, Australia, I'm a Mum of two boys with a passion for photographing motherhood stories. My mission is to help busy Perth Mum's celebrate their family by creating meaningful artwork for your home. I love what I do and my heart is so full!

The full service experience I've created is very personal to me, I put everything into the portraits I create. I care for and guide my clients through every detail of the portrait making process to create a stress-free experience. My clients value hand printed, archival quality, custom framed artwork and together we share a desire to showcase and pass down portraits for generations.

When i'm not photographing clients I'm with my family and friends, they are my everything. New to solo parenting, I have shared care of my boys and reside in Nedlands a short walk from Matilda Bay with our kitty named Tux. I understand the love and deep connection a Mother has for her children, the importance of a Mother being IN photos both for herself and for our children. This is where my passion for serving and creating tangible memories for busy Perth Mum's began and why I continue to do what I do. Thank you for considering me to tell your motherhood story, I look forward to photographing you soon!

THE BAILEY FAMILY

“We signed up for a membership with Melissa about 6 months ago and have had one Portrait Session so far. I have been very happy with everything: customer service, communication and the quality of our images! We used a maternity dress and top for my son from her client wardrobe and it was so easy and convenient. Looking forward to our next few sessions with Melissa!”
