"Mel, they are phenomenal. I've got tears streaming down my face. Thank you for creating such beautiful images of our children - you truly are the best!" Kate Chivers (Family shoot)

"I couldn't have chosen a more perfect photographer to photograph my children. I was a bit worried how they would be because Sienna in particular is shy and I didn't know how she would react. I couldn't believe how well it all went. Within five minutes you had her laughing and playing and she really had the best time! Joe has been asking when we can do it again!" Jodie King (children shoot (aged 2 and 5)

"The images you produced are beautiful, just perfect - and we love them. You really are amazing at what you do. Love, Kristina, Immi, Luca, Theo and Sophia Nasser" (Newborn shoot)

"Melanie has photographed our children many times over the past 10 years and each time has produced exceptional work which adorn our walls throughout our home and at work. I would recommend her very very highly indeed" Dr Tim Sephton, Chew Valley (Several family shoots and an equine shoot)

"Melanie - your photos are just beautiful. We have SO many wonderful photos on our walls and mantlepiece that you have taken of our children growing up. You unique style and focus on real emotion is second to none! To anyone who reads this I would highly recommend Melanie. We can all take photographs with our cameras and phones - but they don't capture that period in time like Melanie's photographs do! Thank you Melanie for giving us a future of beautiful memories". Marcus Cryer, Bristol (Several family shoots)

"The pictures of our newborn baby are something we can never recreate and therefore we put a huge amount of research into the best photographer for the job. I am so pleased that I chose you to photograph our precious bundle. You were so caring and patient with Georgia - and I can't believe you had her asleep for all that time. Not only that - but you manged to pose her into the cutest poses without her waking up! A true baby whisperer! Thank you again! Love, Andy and Julia" (Newborn shoot)

"You were a clear choice once we had read the reviews and viewed your portfolio. ...You greeted us with a friendly arrival and whilst you remained professional, you were also very personable, making us and our babies feel very special. ...We instantly felt they were in safe hands (which is important when you are trusting something with your newborn baby). Watching you work it was clear that you are a perfectionist and that really paid off when we saw the end results. Coming back to see the photos was one of the loveliest moments as it felt so special and personal - we loved seeing them on a big screen and watching the slideshow to perfectly chosen music each time (that experience has stayed with us). You gave us as much time as we needed and we didn't feel any pressure when choosing which photographs we wanted for our box. The photographs are exceptional and something we will treasure for ever. We feel we have a good relationship with you and wouldn't hesitate to come back. You made the whole experience very special for us." Kirsty and Joe (Newborn shoot)

"One of the reasons I chose you was your dedication to newborn safety. It is clear that you go over and above to keep newborn babies safe. I appreciated so much how you explained why certain poses are not safe and why you would not carry them out and I also noticed how you kept a constant eye on the room temperature. This made us feel really reassured. After our shoot I said to my husband that I was glad we chose you because you practice what you preach. I'd recommend you to absolutely everybody. The photographs are amazing." Anna (Newborn shoot)

"Thank you doesn't really seem enough for the family photos you did for us. They are beautiful. Dealing with you from beginning to end was a total pleasure. I couldn't believe how good the boys were for you, you were brilliant with them keeping them entertained but also getting the best out of them. Their personalities shine through in the pictures you took and we love them." Caroline and Stuart Seymour (Family shoot)

"The photos are wonderful and exactly what I wanted of my children." Emma Headings (Bristol) (baby and child shoot)

"Thank you for the brilliant photo shoot today. We loved watching you work. You are so patient and calm. We even picked up some tips on how to settle our baby! We are really excited for the viewing session and will see you next week! I've got my eye on one of those gorgeous boxes of prints - better warn my husband!" Joanna King (Newborn shoot)
