I had a photoshoot with Mel this summer and the photographs are beyond what we expected. They are amazing. She made us feel so relaxed we didn't feel the camera was pointed at us at all. The natural photos of the kids are going to get framed they are beautiful. Thank you Mel. Our album arrived this morning and its just perfect, our family. More...

We had a family shoot with Mel a few weeks ago, and received our gallery today. Blown away. The natural shots of the kids are stunning, us together as a family, will be treasured. Linda is already planning on where the prints are going to go. What i liked about Mel is she didn't hold our photos to ransom, digitals are included with her package so I'm free to print what i want. Really good value for money, and I guarantee you'll have a brilliant afternoon with this girl. thanks so much Mel. More...

We had a fantastic outdoor photo shoot in Lady Dixon Park. Right from the start Melanie made us feel relaxed. We have had photos taken before but I love, love, love the relaxed laughing faces of the kids. They loved her and I think they will expect her to come on all our trips to the park to document every pine cone or flower they find!! Can't recommend Melanie enough and will do to to all our friends and family. Thanks again x More...

We had an absolutely fantastic photo shoot with Mel a few weeks ago on a lovely sunny afternoon at Lady Dickson Park. Mel has a great sense of humour and my husband, 2 daughters +I warmed to her instantly. She was also very patient with our elderly dog who chose to do her own thing!! She really took her time with us and captured very 'real' snapshots of the Simpson family. She played games + was very interactive which means the photos look natural rather than being staged. We are delighted with the photos we've seen so far+can't wait to order a photo book. Thanks so much Mel xo More...

Mel came down to my home just before Christmas and took beautiful photos of my children I loved everyone of the photos so natural. The kids loved Mel and she had great ideas. I would recommend Mel she is excellent at what she does and excellent with children and she comes to your home which is a huge plus when I have small children and the kids feel more relaxed in their own homes than in a studio.

I won a competition for my granddaughter which in itself was so exciting.
From the moment Mel arrived at the door we found her to be professional, relaxed, friendly and great fun. She immediately put Sophie at ease which allowed her to capture her shots in a relaxed stress free environment. Mel had fabulous ideas and nothing was too much bother. It was such a pleasure to meet her and we are so excited to see the images. More...

Melanie recently came to our house and spent a lovely Sunday morning taking pictures of our family. She made us feel so relaxed and was amazing with our little boy and brand new baby girl. Our photos are so natural and just captured 'us' which is exactly what I wanted. I would recommend Melanie to anyone who wants fuss free, relaxed and natural photos with someone who will put you completely at ease - she is amazing! More...

I recently won a competition for a free photo shoot and 15 images with Mel.
I turned up not expecting much and was met by the lovely Mel, she instantly made us relax and our whole experience was fun and enjoyable.
Then came the photos - what can I say they are fab and capture our crazy little family perfectly.
Mel is fab and if you are looking for some family photos that are a bit different (not just sat still posing) then Mel is your woman!

We had such a lovely morning with Mel at Antrim Castle Gardens, great surroundings and fab photographer! Our Boys loved all the fun and attention from Mel, she was so friendly, no one felt under pressure to pose!
As a Mummy too, she knows how unpredictable Kids can be to get involved but she had lots of ideas to keep their attention which has captured some lasting memories for our Family. Mel has been so approachable from the booking until the editing of our photos, thank you for everything Mel, we would highly recommend you to Friends & Family xx

What can I say...if you want a relaxed fun filled photo shoot, then Melanie is your go to girl! Mel came to our home and took magnificent photographs of our 8 month old baby girl. Mel, being a mum herself understands that babies are unpredictable and she is so relaxed, will make you and your family feel completely at ease. No posing stiffly for portraits....Melanie captured lovely family photos while we were playing with our daughter. We will treasure these special photographs and proudly frame them for the wall. Can't recommend her enough. Thank you again � More...

What a fantastic experience we've had with Mel. She captured the grandchildren just as they are. She was very attentive even when my granddaughter wanted to look for daisies with pink petals, Mel spent the time exploring and talking with her. Honestly the best afternoon we've had with the grandchildren, and the photos are simply beautiful. Getting them framed for our front room, i know every time i see them, they will bring back so many happy memories of our afternoon. More...

Mel Hudson photography was one of the best experiences of 2017. Melanie makes the hole process fun, her warm friendly personality brings the best out in old and young alike.
