Gift card
Give far more than a photo session
A moment to live today, memories to keep forever.
A birthday, a birth, a pregnancy, Mother's Day, Christmas or simply the wish to make someone happy… Give a photo session in Provence to someone you love.
Every Melatography gift card is personalised with the name of the person receiving it and can carry a few words written by you.
* The gift card is most often given for a birth, but it is just as lovely for gifting a maternity session.

A gift that doesn't end up in a drawer
We often give objects… and far less often the chance to take time for yourself, for your couple or for your family.
Whoever receives the card can then contact me directly so we choose together the place, the date and the mood of their session.





For which occasions can you gift a photo session?
A Melatography gift card can be given for:
A birth
To photograph baby's first months and this new family story.
A pregnancy
To keep a trace of this very special time before baby arrives.
A baby shower
A different gift idea the mum-to-be can use whenever she wishes.
A birthday
To give an experience rather than an object.
Mother's Day or grandmothers
To create new photos with the people they love.
A couple or a family
Because you don't need a special occasion to create beautiful memories together.
A natural photo session, in Provence
I'm Mélanie, a photographer based in Salon-de-Provence.
I mainly photograph couples, pregnancies, babies and families in a lifestyle, natural and spontaneous approach.
No need to know how to pose. I guide you during the session while leaving plenty of room for movement, for exchanges and for everything that happens naturally.
Sessions can take place at home or outdoors in Salon-de-Provence, Aix-en-Provence, the Alpilles, the Luberon, around Arles and more widely across Provence.
Frequently asked questions
Can a photo session be gifted for a birth?
Yes. The gift card can be used for a session with baby and the parents, at home or outdoors depending on baby's age and the family's wishes.
Can the card be given before the birth?
Of course. It can be given during the pregnancy or at a baby shower. The mum-to-be can then choose between a maternity session or a session with baby after the birth.
Can several people give the card together?
Yes. It's a lovely shared gift between friends, colleagues or family members.
Is the gift card personalised?
Yes. I add the first name of the person receiving it as well as your personal message.
Where do the sessions take place?
I'm based in Salon-de-Provence and travel mainly across Provence. Travel is included within 50 km of Salon-de-Provence; beyond that, travel fees may apply.
Is a session at home possible with a newborn?
Yes. It's a truly lovely way to photograph baby's first weeks in their own home, calmly and without moving the whole family.
