Hi, I’m Melanie! Your Curaçao-based photographer with a heart for storytelling and a soft spot for real, raw moments. I specialize in weddings, couples, families, and boudoir, but more than that! I’m here to capture the feeling behind it all. I’m all about freezing time in a way that feels honest and full of heart. Here, on the colorful island of Curaçao, every backdrop tells its own story. Ready to tell yours?

Behind the Creator
What’s the story behind what you create?
I create timeless memories people love looking back at. My goal is to capture real, raw moments that tell a story, taking you back to the moment looking at them. Capturing moments, creating memories is my motto, because a photosession should not just be about taking pictures, but about the experience of creating memories too that will last a lifetime.

What moment made you feel like,
“Yes, this is what I’m meant to do”?
I started photography after I inherited my camera from my grandma, and found a way to release my emotion and find passion in a moment of grief. I think this actual moment didn’t come to me until I captured a funeral during covid, where visiting was limited, the burial of a man I knew quite well through my job back then. The moment I cried with them, laughed with them, and talked about memories about this man with his wife, made me realise how important it is what I do. Now I am the emotional photographer that cries in her car after a session or during a beautiful proposal, and I think that shows how much this career aligns with my passion. My work makes me emotional, gives me energy, and is something I look forward to every day, I love doing this so much it never really feels like work, just having fun with friends I just met!

What message do you hope your work brings to others?
Life is short, make the best out of it, have fun, be yourself, and create memories wherever you can! Memories is all that will be left of you long after you’re gone, money will come back, time will not, spent it on the people you love, things you enjoy and whatever makes you happy!
Snap Decisions
Candid shots or posed portraits?
“I always mix to make people comfortable, but definitely candid shots! Bring out the real you through pictures. Anyone can pose with some guidance, but what makes a picture personal is you, and I try to capture your authenticity in the best way possible. I want you to look back at your gallery and really see yourself, your body language, the way you laugh, the way your eyes light up when you look at your partner, that’s what makes you you.”
Outdoor adventures or studio set up?
“Outdoor adventures! Although I do love a cozy indoor setting from time to time, I love playing around with natural lightning. Being in the open, creating with what you have, it just adds to the candid moments. I’d take a rocky beach with orange sunset over a studio any day.”
Moody black & white or vibrant color
“Vibrant color! My editing I think would be described as light and natural, with a little pop of colour, but I love letting my creativity flow whenever I get the chance. A black and white can sometimes bring out certain emotions or features in a picture, but nothing like those vibrant colors of the island against the backdrop of these amazing sunsets.”
What drew you to Montée collective & what do you hope to gain from being part of this community?
“What drew me is the likeminded individuals who are creative and ignite that spark in other people too. I love deep conversation and creative sessions, and feel like in a community like this we can uplift each other in certain ways, bringing out that creativity in others, and helping each other grow out of your comfort zone and think out of the box. Also, a safe environment where people cheer on your ideas and throw some fuel on that fire instead of dimming that light will hopefully help other creators belief in their passion too.”
