Bristol FAMILY photographer and baby photographer

Hello!

I'm Melanie. I'm a highly qualified Bristol newborn photographer, family photographer and dance photographer with 20 years experience in creating beautiful portraits. I'm based in the gorgeous Chew Valley, near Bristol and take commissions for newborns, older babies, children and family portraits. I also love to photograph dancers. For your reassurance I have an up to date DBS certificate.

 

 

Why I Love what I do

Photographic memories make me happy. Looking through photograph albums of my own childhood makes my heart sing. Reminiscing about the lovely childhood I had and being able to show my daughter and seeing her laugh at the fashion in the 1970s!, Being able to show her pictures of her grandparents and great grandparents - and showing her the professional portraits which were taken - that's why I do what I do - because I want the same for you. I want you to have professional photographic memories you'll be able to keep forever to show your children, and your grandchildren and beyond.
