Mel Cieslik Photography

Mel was our professional photographer for our wedding this month. She was kind, fun and reassuring when doing the wedding photo shoot before the ceremony. Our professional photos came very fast and we are pleased with the end results!

I had a mini session with my son Lennox during the winter period and loved everything about it. Mel was on time, warm and professional. My son warmed to her straight away and was not bothered by her with the camera. Her turn around time around was quick and the editing was not over-done. Fresh and timeless. Thank you for having us in your studio Mel - I can't wait for to have you shoot us outdoors one day. We adore you xx

I have had the pleasure of having Mel be my photographer 5 times including maternity, newborn, sitter and mothers days shoots.From the moment you meet Mel you will be completely as ease and all the worries of awkward photos will completely disappear as she is just pure magic! You will feel like you have known her forever with her welcoming demeanor. She is also very patient with older children who don’t necessarily like to cooperate and have their photo taken with their new little sibling!The photos we received have always been stunning and family have commented that our most recent shoot looked like it has come straight out of magazine! The dresses Mel has available for you to use will make you feel beautiful in your photos and save the stress of having to find something that you hope will fit you in that first week or so postpartum.Although we won’t experience another newborn shoot, we look forward to using Mel again in the future to capture more memories as our children grow.

Always great experience with Mel. She is professional, friendly and very personable throughout the whole process and shoot. It was great to have someone like her be part of creating a significant family moment and the memories that will go with it. Thanks Mel x

Mel was absolutely amazing right from the moment I contacted her, the booking process was simple and the guide that she emailed out was so informative and gave us a full run down of exactly what to expect at our session.Her studio is set up beautifully and offers a range of different settings for photos.Mel was patient with our two older children and worked very quickly to get sibling and family shots before our 3 year old lost interest.We were able to view the photos taken on the day and chose our favourites. We absolutely love our photos, they turned out better than we ever could have hoped for ❤️We highly recommend Mel to anyone wanting to capture timeless and beautiful photos!

Where do I start! Mel is such an incredible photographer. She is so kind, calm and patient and knows exactly how to handle a newborn plus sassy little toddler. We had our newborn/family photos done in May and from start to finish it was a wonderful experience. She captured our growing little family beautifully and the images are perfect. ❤️ Thank you Mel xx

We did our newborn shoot with Mel and had such a wonderful experience! Mel was professional and exceptionally patient with us (especially our toddler and newborn). We absolutely love our photos, only challenge was trying to chose our favourite photos as there were so many beautiful photos! We love Mel's natural style and will definitely be going back for more photos in the future!

Mel facilitated a newborn photography workshop for my students @the_cameraqueens and WOW what can I say? The workshop was absolutely outstanding. Mel provided the students with a workbook, gave them insight into how she operates her business & the client journey. Mel provided ample time for the students to take photographs and shared in depth about posing, lighting and how she manages client expectations. Highly recommend Mel as an expert newborn photographer and educator. Thanks Mel.

Mel took our photos for both a newborn session and a Mother’s Day mini session and I am so grateful I stumbled across her page on Instagram. Her work is beautiful and her positivity and warmth make you feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. I look forward to booking more sessions in the future and seeing her beautifully capture our family and my children as they grow
