Hi,
I’m Mon

I am the everything behind Hello Maeve Studio.

Born and bred in little old Port Pirie, I moved to Adelaide for university, returned to Pirie for a short time and then finally settled back in Adelaide in 2015.
Of all the people I could have fallen in love with, I found me a Port Augusta man, which is such an inconvenience as whoever knows the road between Pirie and Augusta knows those 83km are a drain to drive!

I am a mum of three little adorable ratbags; Etta, Matilda and Ted. My husband Lachy is my biggest fan, and has supported me on this new little venture with minimal eyerolls at my constant jibber jabber about everything photography.

Being a mum gives me such a different perspective and I know how hard it is to get kids to smile on cue. Plus if yours are anything like mine, the fakeness will shine through. So instead I am here to document all of those natural, organic moments, the kind that we want to cherish forever because they truly represent the stage of life we are currently in.

Anytime I am not caught up in the chaos of motherhood I am spending all my time teaching myself more about the art of photography, listening to photography podcasts, reading blogs, watching countless videos and enrolling in workshops so that I can be the best I can so that I can do you all justice when you let me into your lives.

There is so much beauty in the little things, from a quiet giggle, a shared glance or just where a little hand falls on a loved one, I want to freeze those moments so they can be cherished forever.
Authenticity at its best.

Let your story unfold, just as it is with no need for staged perfection, just genuine connections and carefree happiness. In a world full of posed pictures, I want you to find solace in the ordinary moments that are captured beautifully, just like you remember them.

I am so here for the mayhem, the chaos, the tantrums and all the sweet little moments in between. I just want to have fun with you, make your experience as enjoyable as possible and give you photos you’ll adore for years to come.
