Let’s create memories together for your family to treasure forever.

Patient, professional and amazing products!

This is third photo shoot we have had with Photography for Little People. Melanie always delivers a high quality and professional service.

She was so patient with our little ones who were grumpy or uncooperative and we got some gorgeous images for our frame.
The studio is immaculate and clean. The environment is calm and suitable for babies.

Upon arrival we felt comfortable and felt like we had a good amount of time devoted to our shoot. We can’t wait to pick up our third baby’s frame and we wouldn’t go anywhere else for the baby’s first shoot!

Newborn shoot

5
After speaking with Melanie to book the photo shoot she put me at ease straight away on all her safety measures.
On arriving at her studio with my daughter and grandson Melanie was fantastic.
She was brilliant with Hugo explaining everything she would be doing with him.
She was so gentle and patient with him he slept nearly the whole time .We only stopped once to feed Hugo which Melanie was absolutely fine with . Melanie put Hugo first the whole time .
Melanie suggested a three generation photo at the end of the shoot my daughter and myself were not very keen !! How wrong we were and how right Melanie was the end result was amazing .
I can’t thank her enough I can’t wait for it to arrive and have pride of place on my wall .If you want some precious memories of your newborn I would highly recommend Melanie .

Amazing experience

5
I’ve used Melanie before when my little boy was born and she was amazing then. Fast forward 10 years and the experience was even better if that’s possible. She was so calm and caring towards my newborn and was lovely with my eldest too.
Melanie made sure I was comfortable bringing the children in by advising of her robust deep cleaning process and also wore PPE throughout the shoot which put me at ease due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I would have hated to miss the newborn stage being captured, so was over the moon that there were such good practices in place.
I would recommend Melanie 100 times over and wouldn’t go anywhere else!
