LAKE DISTRICT BASED PHOTOGRAPHER - SPECIALISING IN PROPERTY

My Story
Hello, I’m Melissa! I’ve been passionate about photography for as long as I can remember. I started out around nine years ago with portrait photography as a hobby; and slowly worked myself up to where I am now. Around five years ago; I was lucky enough to go freelance specialising in interiors and property photography and what a journey it has been so far! I am originally from a little village called Silverdale in Lancashire, but now live and operate my business in the South Lakes and throughout Cumbria.
You may find the style of my work slightly different to some others photographers as I’ve always tried to portray natural and traditional styles in my work which you can see in my full portfolio here. If you’d like to book a shoot then please don’t hesitate to get in touch, even just to say hello! I’m based on the southern border of the Lake District but work all around the North West.

Private Shoot
Melissa’s photographs of our holiday let in Windermere have brought the place to life. Every room was captured perfectly with a range of angles and everything perfectly staged. Melissa is friendly and communicated well ahead of the shoot as well as after. We were particularly impressed by how efficient the turnaround was with the edited photos being shared with us the same day as the shoot.
We are so pleased with the photos and would definitely recommend, thanks Melissa! X

Private Shoot
Melissa captured our photos of our dog, Merlin, just perfectly. She went above and beyond to capture such beautiful photos that we will treasure forever
How Melissa managed to get so many photos of a very bouncy and hyper, 6 months old cocker spaniel puppy, we’ll never know.
Absolutely recommend to anyone

How Bank, Ambleside
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Melissa’s work. She did a photo shoot at our house in Ambleside for us to use to advertise it as a holiday let and did an amazing job. The photographs look great, we couldn’t be happier with them. Melissa was very responsive when we were arranging the work and arrived promptly and turned around the photographs for us to use really quickly. Melissa is very friendly, enthusiastic and professional.

Andrea – Crosthwaites Gardens, Keswick
Melissa was able to accommodate a short notice request to photograph our holiday property. Being entirely new to marketing property we were very grateful for Melissa’s guidance, given very diplomatically and with great good humour. The whole experience of working with Melissa was an absolute pleasure and we have no hesitation in recommending her. The photographs speak for themselves Melissa provided them the day the pictures were taken and our bookings surged when they went on line. Reasonably priced and excellent service!

5* all round.
Melissa has done a number of photoshoots for my holiday letting agency, Tarn & Fell Escapes, and I have been incredibly impressed with the results of them all.
Not only is Melissa friendly and approachable, but the skill of her photography is exceptional. In circumstances where I have given Melissa a brief, she has exceeded my expectations and time and again she has impressed me with the images she’s supplied me with. Her photographs are always excellent quality and her turnaround time is remarkable – in every instance we have worked together, I have had the photos back ON THE SAME DAY!
I would have no hesitation in recommending Melissa and her work, and very much look forward to working with her again soon. Thank you for helping create my vision.
