where it all started..

Mango Photography for stunning children's portraiture.

Melbourne-based photographer - Grace Cassio moulded her love of children and photography together 5 years ago to create Mango Photography.

“I felt that the market was saturated with the same style and I wanted to create images with a real difference.

"Portraiture is really about your connection to the subject. The core of why I photograph children is the love of their innocence and genuine nature. A lot of photographers take nice images although often with no real connection to their subjects. I also noticed the childrens' photography market seemed to be overwhelmed with typical black and white images.

"I wanted to start something that was completely fresh and new - colour, vibrancy, playing in the sunshine and things I associate with children - hence the name mango photography"

Mango Photography was an immediate success.

“Grace has a unique way of interacting with children, you see her having fun with the kids one minute and then before you know it she has completed the entire shoot!”
