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.

I’m so glad I decided to have some professional photos taken for my holiday cottage. Melissa came promptly, she was very professional and the end result is amazing. Such a difference to the photos I took on my phone.
As soon as I uploaded them I received a booking. Thank you so much Melissa.
The Coppermines & Lakes Cottages Homes
Fabulous, professional service from Melissa. The photographs were promptly sent to us the very next day and showed our properties at their very best. We have seen an increase in bookings as a result.

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

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 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

Melissa came to photograph our properties. She was quick and very professional. She really went the extra mile to give us good service and we’re so pleased we found her. We have more properties coming up and we’ll DEFINATELY be getting her back to take some more photos for us.

Would highly recommend using Melissa for a family photo shoot. She was very accommodating to such a large group including many animals and young children, nothing was too much trouble, and she was patient and professional throughout the process. The outcome of the photos was phenomenal and were back the same day.
