I have always been reluctant to get professional photos done because I feel awkward posing for photos, and I have so many smart phone photos I thought there was no point, but I’m SO HAPPY I changed my mind.
I didn’t feel awkward at all- in fact I hardly realised Mel was taking pictures- she just quietly took pictures of my son and I doing our thing. The result is beautiful, natural shots that I will treasure forever.
The photos are beautiful and ethereal and so, so much better than anything I could achieve myself.
100% can’t recommend Mel highly enough, and if, like me, you’re unsure, just do it- you definitely won’t regret it!
A pleasure to work with and will definitely be asking for her services again.
I asked Mel if she could come photograph our Remembrance Sunday parade in Chiswick. This parade is a huge part of our service and part of our core values as a brand. To document in in a way that it timeless and reusable enables us to repurpose the content for all ur recruitment and marketing needs around the parade and season start.
She was a pleasure to work with and after getting an idea of the shots we wanted went straight to work documenting the day getting pictures of our cadets preparing their uniforms. As I myself was part of the parade, Mel was left to shoot what we had discussed and she managed to capture some of the reflective and natural moments of the day without disrupting the flow of the event.
We received the retouched pictures in great time to post them on our social media to share with our community how the day went.
It was a real pleasure to work with Mel from day one. Once I introduced my project to her, she quickly proposed creative ideas and guidance with a great enthusiasm.
She did several photo shoots and I was extremely happy with the efficiency and professionalism of her work.
The final pictures of my project are stunning and I look forward to working with her again soon. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a dedicated, professional and creative photographer! ‘
The work Mel came back with was impeccable, capturing both intimate details and broad atmospheres. She was clever with the camera.
She worked with our musicians to photograph a live performance. She was fantastic, taking shots both during our dress rehearsal and during the performance.
Despite difficult lighting in our venue, she managed to make every shot glow.
What's more, she was a wonderful personality and meshed so perfectly with our group, making us feel comfortable and at ease.
Mel is full of personality and a joy to work with, fun and professional and a great photographer.
Multi-talented on many levels and keen. Mel really got to know me, my store and the brand we required. She delivered exceptional images that I am really looking forward to using - they will definitely help me elevate my brand and business.
Always finding solutions to the most tedious or complex of production's problems; whether it's moving image as a PA, BTS stills as a photographer, or stepping in as a Location's Assistant - Mel has so many strings to her bow.
I have had the opportunity to work with Mel on a number of video shoots and projects. She is professional and has a acute attention to detail and the ability to visualise the brief and ideas the client has, which is essential on a busy set.
She is always there to reassure the client and able to think on her toes if ever a situation arises on set. I really enjoy coming to set and seeing her there, it puts my mind and ease and I know we are going to have a good time and everything goes smoothly and to plan.
Can’t wait to work with her again, it’s a real pleasure.
Mel is an extremely proactive, organised and creative producer.

She is able to think outside of the box, and at times it feels as if she has the magic touch, getting great results out of very narrow briefs. She is a real self starter and is able to get on with her work with very little support, but is also great to have in a team situation.
She manages people exceptionally well and is able to drum up contacts and partners through strong relationship building and negotiation skills. Would happily partner up with her on any project
STUNNING PHOTOS CAPTURING THE ESSENCE OF OUR SMALL LOCAL CHARITY!

I work for a local charity providing free services for the elderly and had the pleasure of working with Mel throughout our covid relief drive. Not only did she take some fabulous shots of our guests (which we are now using on our website) but she also took the time out to engage with each & every person there, which for many of our clients who are suffering from loneliness and isolation, with little to no interaction with those other than who they meet at our social clubs - speaks volumes for Mel's kind & caring nature.
