West Ealing family photoshoots by Melanie Moss. Relaxed studio or at-home sessions that capture laughter, connection and character. Tailored for families, babies, newborns and children.
I specialise in family photography from my home-based studio in West Ealing, and I’m passionate about creating images that feel genuine, warm and full of life. My approach is instinctive rather than textbook — I focus on building the right atmosphere so natural characteristics and real connections can shine. That’s why clients tell me my sessions feel relaxed, fun and utterly personal. Why choose melanie moss photography for your family photoshoot? I put people at ease. Whether you’re visiting the studio, welcoming me into your home, or choosing an outside location nearby, I’ll work with you to find comfortable moments that reveal personality and emotion. I love eyes, expressions and laughter — and I aim to capture those fleeting, honest interactions that become treasured family portraits. How I work: before your session we’ll have a conversation about what you love in images and the story you want to tell. I tailor each photoshoot to your needs — from newborn and baby sessions where calm and time are essential, to playful shoots with toddlers and older children that invite giggles, games and spontaneity. On the day I give gentle direction, a bit of humour and plenty of encouragement so even camera-shy family members relax and enjoy themselves. After the shoot I present a curated selection of emotive images in a password-protected online gallery so you can view and choose at your leisure. I take care with editing to ensure each image has clarity, tone and the character you fell in love with during the session. For families who want prints or keepsakes, I work with professional suppliers to deliver high-quality photographic prints and fine art options that look beautiful on the wall or coffee table. I’ve been photographing families since 2008 and love the variety each session brings — from maternity moments to newborn cuddles and lively group portraits. I cover West and South West London, including Ealing, Chiswick, Kew and Richmond. If you’d like a friendly, experienced photographer who specialises in family portraits and who will make the experience enjoyable for everyone, get in touch — I’d love to capture your family’s story.
