Cre8ive Studios is Calne’s family photography specialist. We create relaxed, creative family portraits, newborn and children images with a fun, modern approach and private viewing.
Cre8ive Studios is a family photography specialist based in the heart of Calne. Led by award‑winning photographer Joe Menghini, we focus on creating honest, creative family portraits that celebrate real personalities and the small, unforgettable moments between parents, children and pets. Our work is modern, playful and flattering — designed to become family heirlooms rather than just another snapshot. Why choose Cre8ive Studios? We bring years of portrait experience and a clear commitment to making sessions relaxed and enjoyable. Joe’s approach blends gentle direction with documentary instincts: we guide families into flattering poses, then step back to capture the spontaneous laughter, the quiet exchanges and the little quirks that make your family unique. That balance produces images that feel natural, contemporary and genuinely you. How we work with families: every shoot is tailored. Before your session we take time to understand what matters to you — whether it’s a classic wall portrait, playful lifestyle frames of the kids, newborn images that cherish those first days, or photos that include well‑mannered pets. On the day we focus on creating a calm atmosphere, giving children room to be themselves and encouraging family interaction so the photographs tell a story rather than feel staged. After the session you view your images in our private viewing area where we help you choose the best way to enjoy your portraits at home. Our studio is one of Wiltshire’s largest dedicated family spaces and is equipped for creative, fine art and relaxed lifestyle portraits. We welcome families across Calne and the surrounding area and pride ourselves on first‑class customer service, attention to detail and products that showcase your images beautifully. From newborn and baby portraits to children photography, baptisms, communions and milestone birthday shoots, Cre8ive Studios positions family photography at the centre of what we do. We’re an inclusive studio and strive to make every family feel comfortable and celebrated. If you want contemporary, characterful family portraits made by a specialist who cares about your story, Cre8ive Studios in Calne is here to create them with you.
