I have recommended Mel to hundreds of speaker’s because her work is that good. She understands our business and what the client is looking for. Her gentle guidance and positive encouragement makes all the difference to the final product. I have used Melinda on many occasions for portraits of my team and me. Her photos are exceptional and the process is always easy and enjoyable. I also use Mel for video work often. She is fast and professional. I highly recommend Mel for anyone looking for a professional shoot.

I booked Melinda for my conference after meeting her and just instantly thinking she was amazing. The energy and positivity she brings to everything she does is absolutely infectious. Easy to work with, affable and fun, she's also a hard worker doing anything it takes to get the job done. Her photos truely express the event, breathing life into your website, and helping promote it to a wider audience. She also a great connector, people person and just general cheerleader for my business. I would quite literally never book another photographer for any event. And might even change the date if Melinda wasn't free.

"Melinda Hird has been my company's official photographer since 2018, with good reason. Firstly, she is a beautiful person and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Easy-going, kind, supportive and professional. When it comes to her work as a photographer, she is the boss. She makes you feel relaxed, finds all of the best angles and backgrounds and understands what is needed from a marketing perspective. Naturally, I have recommended Melinda to hundreds of my clients and will continue to do so."

“I could not have been more blown away by the world-class showreel that Mel produced for me. Mel literally came to my rescue after I felt completely let down by a previous showreel producer. Mel took the time to really understand my situation, my needs, and made me feel completely valued and appreciated. Mel really believed in me, saw my potential, and more importantly, had a vision and plan for what we could do together to create a much better outcome.”

Melinda has been an absolute joy to work with to produce my showreel for the website. She has done amazing production! I can only suggest that you at the very least make an appointment to talk with her about your video production needs. And if like me, you engage her services, you will definitely be glad of your investment.

“Melinda was our photographer for the PSA convention 2021 and was the picture of professionalism. She captured the entire virtual convention with incredible and striking imagery that absolutely captured the fun and essence of the event. She was also a delight to be with, so 4 days spent in her presence was great. She’s creative, professional and generous and I’d HIGHLY recommend Melinda for your next event.”
