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 8 years ago with portrait photography as a hobby; and slowly worked myself up to where I am now. Around two 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.
Reviews
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!

Melissa has just taken photos for our re-opening of our B&B after lockdown and I cannot recommend her enough. She is amazing!
The rooms all look fantastic in the photos we received (very quickly) and it’s just what we need for our website and various social media and booking channels. On a personal level Melissa is friendly, professional, and very easy to communicate with about what you want. Thank you Melissa

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

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
