Testimonials From My Wonderful Clients
A few words from me about testimonials
Why show testimonials? It is a tough process to sell yourself. I do not enjoy doing it; writing about yourself is one of the hardest things to do in a very competitive field of work. I can say lots of things about how much I enjoy what I do and how I love meeting people. Working with them to get the images they want brings me great pleasure. Writing about that part is comparatively easy. Trying to say you know what you are doing without being a big ‘I am’ is not simple.
Bowing to the inevitable
I have been told by many people that I should include a testimonials page on this website. SEO websites also tell me that testimonials are the way to go. With that in mind I have I have given in and created this page. Here is where you can read what my clients think of my services.
Actor Headshots
Jenny Fitzharris
“I had a great experience working with Mel for my photoshoot.
From the very beginning, he clearly explained the set-up and how the shoot was going to run, which immediately put me at ease. His professionalism and friendly approach made me feel comfortable straight away, and he created such a relaxed environment that I was able to settle into the shoot very quickly. He was also very supportive of me bringing a friend along to assist with subtle changes of pose and outfit, and even encouraged this, which made the whole process feel even smoother. The whole process felt seamless, enjoyable, and natural thanks to his guidance.
I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented photographer who also knows how to make the experience enjoyable. His support on how to use the website for purchases post shoot was also very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
Thanks again Mel.”
Jenny is just starting out on her acting life. I’m so happy that she chose me to taking her first set of actor headshots. Keep an eye out for this young lady. Links to Jenny’s Spotlight page will follow.

Jodie Corbett – Dancer
“I was super nervous about getting my headshots but Mel was FABULOUS! Within a minute in front of the camera I felt confident in myself and in Mel. He made the whole experience so enjoyable and time FLEW! I’m over the moon with the results of the pictures! Mel captured so many great ones and even helped me achieve a “look” I was going for, it was really hard to narrow them down to my favourites! I would recommend Mel to anyone looking to get headshots. I’m obsessed with them”!
Rori Saxby – Dancer
“I had a fantastic experience with Mel Pettit Photography. A friend and I booked a session to have new performer’s headshots taken, and the whole process was excellent. Booking the session was easy, and the session itself was a lovely experience. Mel is friendly, professional, and obviously very experienced. He made us both feel very comfortable and confident being in front of the camera, advised on outfits, looks, and poses, and made sure to continually show us the images along the way. I am so pleased with the way my photos came out, even before they were finished and edited I loved them, and the editing has been done in such a way that I still look like me, just at my best. I would definitely recommend Mel”!
Portraits
Anna Shipeby
“I had a pleasure to work with Mel a few months ago and I absolutely loved his pictures and I’m very fussy when it comes to my images. Mel was a delight to shoot with and he’s very talented. I highly recommended him to everyone”.
When the weather isn’t great, it’s studio time! Anna and I did a full of range of head and shoulders, waist and three-quarter length shots. Anna was a total joy to work with. We got a lot of images that we were thrilled with.
Emma Stuart
“Mel was an absolute delight and joy to work with. We chatted throughout the shoot and we got some STUNNING images. Pre-comms were great and also comms after! You get shown all of the photos too! I highly recommend and would love to shoot again”.
Last summer, the last time it was anywhere near warm, I got to do some outside portraits with Emma. The location was the grounds of a stately home, complete with a lake. It was a great day with a wonderful person to photograph.
Demi Hughes
“I had a wonderful shoot with Mel at Saracen House Studios in January and could not recommend him highly enough!
Mel is amazing to work with, highly professional, skilled and very easy going and relaxing. His knowledge and skill level are apparent throughout the shoot and he’s able to assist with posing well so you can relax knowing you’re in good hands and will receive wonderful images.
Highly recommend to anyone”!
