Hey
I'm Antoine. I moved to Australia from France over ten years ago now, on what was meant to be a one year sabbatical. A visual artist and musician, I consider myself an "epicurian" creating and capturing beauty in shadows, light, colour, sound. With the birth of my first child, Hazel, my eyes opened to the love, light and laughter that children manifest. Wanting to capture these precious moments, I looked for a family photographer, but none were within reach of our budget, and none I felt captured those raw, natural moments that I so cherished. And so Malo photography was born.
With a determination to offer my clients an affordable service which would provide them with raw, natural, authentic images, memories of this moment in time. Having photographed families, newborns, maternity shoots, engagement's and special celebrations, I can say with certainty, that photography has given me the tools to witness, capture and immortalise hundreds of precious moments shared between loved ones, even the hairy and fluffy ones.
I offer 4 different packages:
LA PETITE As the saying goes – the days are long but the years are short. Capturing your family now will make memories for years to come, think of this session as a time capsule for your children and future generations. This photography package includes:
