Film and Frame by Melissa Jayne

As a family photographer based in Bad Wildungen, my passion is to preserve the small and big stories of your family in an honest and timeless way. I’m Melissa — a photographer and filmmaker, mother of two, with a sensitive eye for body language and the subtle moments in between. Those fleeting looks, spontaneous laughs and tender touches are the moments I aim to capture so they remain vivid memories for you. My approach is personal and relaxed: we discuss your wishes and the locations that suit your family before the session. During the shoot I create a warm atmosphere where children feel comfortable and natural interactions can unfold. I prefer natural light and an artistic, emotional visual style — delivering family photos that feel genuine rather than posed. In addition to family sessions I offer sensitive baby and newborn photography and maternity shoots. As a mother myself, I understand how quickly these phases pass; patience and gentle guidance are central to my work. I’ll support you calmly during the session and capture the connections and emotions that make your family unique. Whether outdoors around Bad Wildungen or cozy at home, my goal is to craft images you’ll love to return to. I’m not a large production team but a warm-hearted artist who travels light and focuses on emotion and storytelling. While I also photograph weddings and couple sessions in the region, the focus here is on family work. If you’re looking for authentic, emotional family photos that reflect warmth, closeness and personality, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s create lasting memories together.
