Monette Grobler Photography Captures Model Melissa’s SARIE Cover Entry

We’re proud to share that photos taken by Monette Grobler Photography were recently used in a SARIE Cover Face entry by Melissa, a talented and inspiring young woman from Hermanus.

Melissa is an au pair currently working in the Netherlands. But there’s much more to her story, she’s also a passionate beekeeper, former model, and someone who lives with purpose and heart. Her love for nature and sustainable living shines through her lifestyle, and her international experience adds depth to who she is.

In her SARIE entry, Melissa speaks about her journey of growth, courage, and choosing a path that reflects her values, even when it’s different from what’s expected. Her wish is to inspire others, especially young women, to embrace their unique combination of talents and proudly claim their place in the world.

Monette had the honour of capturing the photos that reflect this spirit, soft, strong, and full of meaning. We're incredibly proud to have played a small part in such a beautiful and empowering story.

Melissa, we’re rooting for you!
