Monika Meska Photography
Family photography in Newcastle upon Tyne
Warm, relaxed and timeless photography for families, newborns, maternity and couples across the North East.
Photographs you will keep coming back to
Hi, I’m Monika, a Natural Storytelling Family Photographer based in Great Park, Newcastle. I love what I do and feel so lucky to capture families, connections, and joyful moments. After years of photographing families from around the world in London, I moved to Newcastle with my own family in 2024. I love calling this area home and photographing people in the beautiful North East, from wild beaches to local parks, woodlands, or even in the heart of their cozy homes.
My sessions are relaxed, fun, and bespoke, so you can just be yourselves. I put care, love, and attention into every moment, capturing laughter, real connections, and the little sparks that make your family unique. My style is warm, natural, and timeless, with soft, joyful photos made with natural light, and sometimes a film-like touch, subtle grain, or black-and-white moments. If this feels like your kind of experience, let’s create something special.
