Maternity · Family · Newborn

Tiny moments,
held still.

Photography by Melike documents the quiet, fleeting stretch of new parenthood, right in your own home and in your own light.

The team

Two people, one story to tell.

Photography By Melike is run by a husband-and-wife team, Melike and Roberto. We started this to hold on to the moments that move too fast to remember on their own.

Melike
Founder & Lead Photographer

Every newborn session happens right in your home, in whatever light you already have. No studio, no rush, just you, your baby, and the quiet in between. Melike brings the same relaxed, unposed approach to maternity and family sessions.

Roberto runs the business side of things: bookings, marketing, and everything behind the scenes. He also jumps in as a second shooter whenever a session calls for an extra set of hands.
