BRINGING A NEW BABY HOME
is nothing short of a miracle…
and sometimes, the challenges make us see the miracle more clearly. Maybe you’ve waited for years, suffered a loss, had risky complications, or can simply sense how fleeting those first days will be.
I experienced a very scary pregnancy that left me with an intense appreciation for new life and the desire to savor every detail. This sparked my passion for helping families capture those beautiful moments. And with these images on display in your home, your family will be able to celebrate this baby’s story for years to come.
Savor the magic a brand new baby brings!
NEWBORN + MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY
what you’ll get
with me
I CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF BABIES AND THEIR DEVOTED PARENTS
when I show up for a session, I show up for you too! You can always expect:
01
Kindness
I’ve lived the ups and downs of parenting. Meltdowns, spit-up, and blowouts don’t phase me. I’ll meet you where you’re at with no judgement and all love.
02
Experience
I have been a professional portrait photographer for over 15 years and have photographed over 700 babies. There’s a reason they call me the baby whisperer.
03
Passion
These photos are meant to be printed! We create real, tangible artwork of the people you love the most so that you can relive these beautiful moments over and over.
I’LL CAPTURE YOUR HEART-BURSTING LOVE IN IMAGES YOU’LL CHERISH FOR A LIFETIME.
THE IMAGES AND EXPERIENCE
your family deserves
“Melissa was incredible! She was very organized & made us feel great about going through the process with our little one… She really does care about her clients & the final product is amazing — looking forward to more shoots with Melissa in the near future!”
“…Everything was amazing from beginning to end. Even before we met, Melissa took the time to get to know us and what we wanted for our session… And the presentation when she sent our finished products… *unbelievable* presentation!
My only regret is that I didn’t reach out to Melissa sooner for a pregnancy shoot (we didn’t do one at all) but I will not make that mistake again”
“Melissa is wonderful to work with – very professional and responsive. She really is a baby whisperer! Our photos are beautiful, and we’re so happy to have these memories to last a lifetime”
WHAT WILL YOUR SHOOT REALLY BE LIKE?
I’ll make it easy…
Ever wondered what a session with me really looks like?
You won’t have to plan anything for my visit. We will have already talked through everything during our consultation: the photos you’ve been dreaming of, the story you want to tell, and your ideas for style, colors, and props.
With my traveling studio setup, I’ll bring everything we need to make your vision a reality. You don’t need to buy props—I have everything you requested, unless perhaps you have a sentimental item that you’d like to add.
All I typically need is some floor space in your home to set up my little studio and a few hours to make the magic happen!
I am honored to be trusted by you!
