I’m Melda, the photographer behind Monreve Photography — a Vancouver family and children’s photographer, a mother of two, and a licensed Early Childhood Educator with a deep understanding of childhood and family dynamics.
I bring together over 10 years of family and children’s photography experience with more than 15 years of hands-on work with infants and young children in early childhood education. This background allows me to approach every session with patience, empathy, and a child-led mindset.
My family and children’s photography sessions in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland are calm, unhurried, and guided with care. I work at your child’s pace, using gentle encouragement and positive reinforcement to help children feel safe, respected, and comfortable in front of the camera.
I am certified in Childcare First Aid & CPR and maintain active credentials to support each child’s wellbeing. My studio is kept clean, warm, and thoughtfully prepared to welcome babies, children, and families.
You never need to worry about children “cooperating” or fitting into a timeline. My role is to support your family, follow your child’s cues, and create a peaceful experience where genuine connection can unfold naturally.
At MonRêve Photography, trust, care, and safety are at the heart of every session.

Relaxed, Guided Posing for Natural Family Portraits
You don’t need to worry about knowing what to do during your family photography session. I provide gentle, guided posing designed to create natural family portraits filled with connection, emotion, and genuine laughter.
As an Early Childhood Educator (ECE) with years of experience, I understand child development, behaviour, and engagement — allowing me to work calmly with babies, toddlers, and children to capture authentic moments without pressure.
A Calm, Child-Friendly Family Photography Studio
My Vancouver family photography studio is thoughtfully designed for families — warm, private, and welcoming, with a calm environment that helps children feel comfortable and relaxed.
With 10+ years of experience in baby and family photography in Vancouver, I’m experienced in navigating baby fussiness, toddler energy, and every stage of childhood with patience, safety, and care.

Welcome to the Family and Children Photography Gallery at MonRêve Photography, where childhood is captured with warmth, patience, and heart. These sessions celebrate connection, personality, and the beautifully real moments that make your family uniquely yours.
Based in Vancouver, BC, I specialize in fine-art children and family photography that feels natural and timeless. From playful siblings to growing families, each session is gently guided and kept relaxed — allowing genuine smiles, movement, and emotion to unfold naturally.
Sessions are child-led, playful, and unhurried. As both a parent and an Early Childhood Educator, I work with children at every stage, creating an experience that feels calm, safe, and enjoyable for the whole family.
I would be honoured to create timeless portraits your family will treasure for years to come.
Tender beginnings, quiet moments, and the beauty of early childhood.
