Melanie is a first class photographer and she photographed all three of our beautiful babies.
I wouldn’t go anywhere else for newborn photography, she is the very best and created the most beautiful images of our children. She has the patience of a saint and the safety of her baby models is paramount at all times.
I would thoroughly recommend her!
Melanie is such a wonderful and natural photographer and just so talented at bringing out the very best of her subject. She is also a fantastic communicator and is gifted at giving direction; you instantly feel at ease 🌹
I fell in love with Melanies gorgeous portraiture photography when we first booked her for our wedding in 2021 at the beautiful Saint Mary Redcliffe Church in Bristol. She captured the most gorgeous images of my husband during his wedding preparation; so much so that I knew I had to book her again; this time for our Wedding Anniversary in 2023.
For our anniversary we shot at the same Church we were married in; the stunning St Mary Redcliffe and we were so fortunate to have a beautiful day with fantastic natural light glistening throughout the Church. 🌹
Melanie captured SO many beautiful images throughout the session and was so quick to share these to us during the week with a selection of colour and black and white options as she knew I am obsessed with film noir inspired images !
As a person Melanie is warm, capable, reliable, kind and such a wonderful professional person.
The highest of recommendations to everyone. 🌹
Book this wonderful lady!

Melanie,
Wow what can I say, you are an absolute amazing photographer, we cannot recommend you enough! We had the most amazing experience having a photo shoot done of our newborn baby boy! Absolutely over the moon with how beautiful the photos are and Melanie is just incredible with babies, such a calm and relaxed environment, taking breaks for whenever baby needs or wants it. I HIGHLY recommend Melanie for any photo shoot but especially newborn shoots! I’ve also had a maternity photo shoot with Melanie too I can’t get over these photos, I will forever be grateful for the experience. There is no one better than MELAINE.
Will be forever recommending her to many friends and family she is simply the best.

Dear Andie and Adam
Thank you very much for this lovely review - it was so lovely to photograph your maternity shoot and then your beautiful newborn baby. I am so glad you love the photographs :)

Melanie is simply a fantastic photographer and I wouldn’t have trusted very precious memories to anyone else. Melanie has taken lots of wonderful portraits of my family over the years and when my youngest sister was diagnosed with incurable cancer, it was Melanie that I turned to. She has created the most exquisite images that we look at daily and will forever cherish. She truly captures how people are, their essence and their nature. I guess because she’s very good with both people and camera skills - and it’s essential to have both for great images. She puts people at ease, from adults who don’t love the camera to young children who are shy and unsure. Cannot recommend Melanie highly enough.
