Timeless Editorial-style family Portraits

Melanie Jivov for Leo and Bash Photography

I became a portrait photographer after working in the fashion industry. Throughout my career in design, I was always very involved in the styling and planning of photoshoots to create beautiful images that captured the essence of each brand. This has inspired me to create timeless editorial-style family portraits that are both playful and full of connection.

After becoming a mother to my two loveable boys, my true inspiration, I learnt how beautiful and fragile pregnancy can be and the importance of preserving all of the moments in life. I work with natural light to capture love, emotion and all of the authentic, candid moments that happen in between. My aim is to create beautiful, timeless images that will be treasured for years to come. I love photographing mothers with their children, because so often these are the moments that are not recorded.

My aim is to create a relaxed and comfortable environment so that you can be yourself and let your personality shine through. I capture both natural and styled shots and believe that the most beautiful and meaningful images are often the ones that are unposed and unplanned.

I live and work in London. Please get in touch below for bookings.
