Where it All Began…

We met in 1998 at an 1980’s style glamour photography studio in the Forest Hill Chase Shopping Centre food court where we both worked.

Think Kath and Kim, big hair, big earrings, taffeta, leather and lots of soft focus!

This style of ‘glamour photography’ was hugely popular in the 1980’s. but times had certainly changed.We listened to our clients tell us how there was a need to shift how the industry was perceived.

We were one of the first Melbourne photography studios to offer something new, modern, and more authentic for our clients and Blush was born on Feb 9, 2000.

We’ve had lots of ups and downs in our business over the last 20 years. We’ve seen enormous changes in our industry, including the evolution of film to digital and the change in how our clients want to be photographed and perceived, especially online. Here is one of our proud highlights..

We are extremely passionate about giving back to the community. We are proud that a Blush Creative photograph of Jo’s son, Zeke (who was born with a serious heart condition) raised $60,000 for Heartkids charity in the Canon ‘Creative for a Cause’ competition.

Jo has always been very involved in fundraising and publicity for Heartkids and the Royal Children’s Hospital.

Melinda volunteers teaching art and craft to older residents at her local community centre. She is also Vice President of not-for-profit organisation Gateway Community Services, and has received numerous community awards for her volunteer work.
