ABOUT MELONEY THILL (MEL)
BASED IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS
A little about me
I’m Mel, the photographer behind the lens. I’m based in San Antonio, Texas, and I’m passionate about capturing the beauty of life through my camera. I offer photography services across the San Antonio area, as well as the picturesque Hill Country. Some of my favorite spots to shoot include Boerne, Bulverde, and New Braunfels.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me exploring new places, traveling, or seeking out fresh experiences. Life here is always buzzing with energy, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! When I’m not working, I’m chasing my two kids to their activities or spending quality time with friends and family.
My children are my world—full of energy and endless motivation. And my husband? He’s my rock, always supporting me through every adventure and every crazy idea I dream up.
In January 2021, I made the move to the stunning Hill Country, just north of San Antonio, Texas, after spending seven years in Hawaii. Texas is now home, but my roots are in South Africa, where I was born and raised. My husband, a retired military veteran, and I still make it a priority to travel back to Africa as often as we can.
I have a deep passion for animal conservation, particularly the efforts to protect rhinos and elephants. One of my favorite charities is Save the Rhino, an organization that’s on the front lines of the fight against the devastating poaching of these incredible animals. Africa will always hold a special place in my heart.
The photos shared here were taken during my most recent trip to South Africa.
Disney World is a big family favorite of ours—we love embracing our goofy, crazy side while we're there. Animal Kingdom is definitely the park we visit the most. My daughter is a huge Avatar fan, and honestly, I think we’d all love to live in the world of Pandora if we could!
