Michelle Maria Micallef Photography

I’m Michelle — a family photographer based in Brymbo with my little home studio in Borras, Wrexham. Family photography is at the heart of my work: I specialise in creating calm, natural sessions that let real connections and everyday emotions shine through. My approach is simple and honest — I aim to photograph beautiful moments and make each session memorable and precious for you. My background in Fine Art (first-class honours from Glyndwr University) influences how I compose and light each portrait. I love quiet, timeless imagery with soft tones and uncluttered styling so the focus stays on your family and the story you share. Whether you’re bringing toddlers, teenagers or three generations together, I work to capture authentic expressions and the little details you’ll want to keep forever. Sessions are relaxed and child-friendly. I create a warm, gentle atmosphere where children feel safe to be themselves — that’s when the best photographs happen. I spend time getting to know you before and during the shoot, using gentle prompts and playful moments to coax natural smiles and interactions rather than forcing posed faces. I also provide a selection of simple outfits and props when needed, and I’m happy to help plan complementary looks so everything feels cohesive in your images. As a mum myself, I understand how quickly family life changes. My goal is to preserve those fleeting stages — the small hands, the sleepy cuddles, the laughs — in photographs you’ll reach for again and again. Many families return to me for milestone shoots and seasonal minis because they trust the calm, personal experience I provide. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Brymbo/Wrexham who values a relaxed, natural style and a personal, attentive approach, I’d love to hear from you. We’ll chat about what matters most to your family, choose a time that suits little ones, and create images that feel like you — honest, warm and full of life.
