Hi there!
I'm Mel, the person behind the lens
I'm a lifestyle portrait photographer based in wakefield, west yorkshire, happy to travel to surrounding areas such as Leeds and Huddersfield.
I’m a mum to a little girl and a not-so-little fur baby, and I live in beautiful West Yorkshire, England. As my name might give away, I’m originally from Germany, and I came to the UK to study at University. A little fun fact, I actually speak four languages! I’m really easy-going and absolutely love getting to know people, so I can’t wait to meet you and see what we can create together.
When I'm not taking photos, I love spending time with family and friends, getting lost in a good book, or travelling the world. I'm also a big fan of anything in and under the water, and I even taught scuba diving for a few years.
The birth of my daughter made me realise that when people say that life goes by in the blink of an eye, they are so right. I’ve always loved photography, and I deeply regretted not getting newborn photos done, so I ended up buying a DSLR to take (too many) photos of my mini me. That’s when I really fell in love with authentic storytelling and documenting real life and emotions instead of forced smiles and staged scenes.
Being around many other amazing parents, I noticed something: the mums are always behind the camera, but so rarely in the photos themselves. It sparked a deep desire to help other people have beautiful family photos too, photos that documented these special, fleeting times in their lives, so they can cherish them for years to come.
