Who am I...

Hi, I’m Mel 👋

I found photography helped me slow my overthinking mind, and has helped me win competitions and find confidence in myself, overcome anxious thoughts and see the beauty in everyday ,mundane things

I am now 60, and I share what worked for me to other women find calm, ease, and strength in body and mind — not by pushing harder, but by moving and living more mindfully with awareness and kindness towards ourselves.

Photography has been a favourite way to slow down my busy headspace, notice beauty in the ordinary stuff and feel present in the moment.

That’s why I created Calm in the Frame

to give you a gentle, creative tool you can

use anytime life feels stressful, overwhelming and frustrating, but also to begin a community of like minded women who find this fast paced life too much sometimes.

An online community that is away from social media distractions, a private space to connect, grab your free audios, a checklist, to share photos and ask questions, to unwind, slow down, know that its not just you!
