Sessions are very laid-back & baby-led. I do offer head-to-toe posing guidance but also encourage you to move freely once you get comfortable in the space (I promise, you will!) There will be a good mix of posed, candids, & detail images in your final gallery for you to choose from!

client love.
working with melissa was a great experience. i was anxious, as i know that newborn sessions can be stressful and challenging, but melissa made me feel so comfortable and free to move as my baby wanted. there was a lot of on-demand nursing happening, and melissa was so patient and kind. she caught such intimate moments, and the incredibly beautiful photos are ones i will cherish forever. she captured us in a way that empowered me as a mother.
Melissa was amazing! I loved her patience with our daughter. We are beyond in love with our photos she took and captured some great memories and moments that will forever last.
melissa has an absolute talent with the way she is able to capture emotion, moments in time & mood. i brought in a rambunctious two year old and she made the entire session effortless and fun. we were blown away by the photos & they are memories we will cherish forever.
