Aloha! I'm Merilyn,
A creative artist, photographer, designer, manifestor, spirit channel, and healer based in the Gold Coast, Australia. I offer photographic sessions that go beyond the camera—journeys that capture the sacred essence of your life’s authentic moments, which you’ll treasure forever.
With over 15 years in the industry, I've been privileged to document remote villages for the Lao Red Cross, capture world class celebrities at London and Paris fashion weeks, and work alongside elite brands like Dior, Chloé, and Louis Vuitton.
As a contributor to Getty Images, my fashion and editorial work has appeared in publications like Marie Claire, Brisbane News, Elle UK, and Garland Magazine.
In every session, my gift to you is both my artistry and my insight. Together, we’ll create imagery that is not only beautiful but deeply reflective of your unique spirit and presence.
Expect something sacred, something intimate, and always created with love.
My Photography
My style is dynamic, dreamy, natural, and infused with a touch of magic. I love to shoot typically in natural light and environments and my aesthetic can be clean and crisp, yet flowy and ethereal.
When you work with me, you're not just getting a photography session; you're stepping into a space of warmth, healing, and transformation.
My sessions go beyond the camera, offering a unique blend of fashion expertise and spiritual intuition.
My photography and healing vibration has led me to work on many magic retreats both in Australia and internationally so please get in touch for your next retreat.
Merilyn Photography is available in-studio and for on location projects including international travel assignments 7 days a week.
Based in Coolangatta, Gold Coast.
Travelling to Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Byron Bay Areas.

"Merilyn is a dream to work with. She photographed our young family beautifully, and what I loved most is how naturally the shoot unfolded. It was the perfect way to capture the true nature of our children as they simply enjoyed themselves on the beach. We felt comfortable and the photos reflect this. Thank you, Merilyn!"

Yoga with Stef
"I feel terribly un-photogenic and in my private life, I avoid having my photo taken. This is why I work with Merilyn. She makes me feel comfortable. When Merilyn takes my picture, I feel that I can just be myself and trust that she will capture it beautifully. She gives direction where it is supportive with freedom to play and express myslef. Thank you Merilyn. Your photos have helped me and my work so much!"

"Merilyn takes the time to understand the subject, the brief, the intent…. And then creates magic. Technically highly skilled but the time taken to understand the nuances of what we are trying to achieve is what delivers something special every time. Highly recommend xxxxx"
