Hi! I’m Melly.
I love capturing families, both at home and in the great outdoors.
For me, it is all about keeping things as real and natural as possible, to help you look back on all the little things that really matter - like the way those tiny chubby toddler fingers close around yours, and how you used to dance around the garden together, and how that silly face causes you to crease with laughter.
All you need to do is show up and be yourselves!
Family photography that celebrates mud, laughter and chaos.
Covering the Peak District and beyond.
Kind Words
‘Thank you so much. I actually can't believe how well you have captured all that. I have just excitedly forwarded on to the rest of the family and I know they will love them all just as I do. You are a stunning photographer.’
Jenny
‘Thank you so much for sending these photos through, they are AMAZING! The photos look so natural and really bring out the relationship we have with each other as a family. We felt so comfortable and relaxed with you on the day, and that really shows. We love them so much and it will be really hard to select which ones we want to print!’

As many or as few as you wish! My family sessions can be used for just one person, bumps or babies, right up to large, extended families.

Absolutely! I am a huge animal lover, and I know that pets are family too.

No problem - I am always happy to provide a list of suggested locations for your family shoot, giving you a choice of different types of back-drop that are most suitable for the time of year.
As a mother of two, I totally understand the need for locations to be accessible and suitable for children who might not want to walk very far!

Whilst most of my shoots are held outdoors (e.g. in a favourite walking place or nearby park), a lot of families also choose to have their shoots at home or in another indoor location.
I have studio facilities on my premises on Market Street in New Mills for those who would prefer a warm and cosy indoor location for their shoot.

If you have chosen to have an outdoor shoot, I am more than happy to reschedule your shoot in the event of bad weather (as I know that not everyone dreams of having photos of themselves looking soaked-through and bedraggled). You can contact me on the morning of your shoot, and I’ll get you booked in for another time.
Book your shoot today.
Fill out some info and I will be in touch shortly! I can't wait to hear from you!
