We highly recommend Melissa for your family and newborn photos! I was a little nervous about coming with such a new baby but Melissa had everything under control! From the gorgeous props and backdrops to just knowing how to comfort our baby boy, she was so thorough and patient. It was a wonderful experience and I got the BEST pictures of my baby boy that I will cherish forever.

Melissa did newborn photos of our son and we couldn’t have been happier! She was so relaxed and calm with him, and the shots she got are amazing. Great attention to detail, beautiful posing, adorable props – and such beautiful, crisp, and clear shots to capture his sweet little newborn stage. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Melissa to anyone looking for beautiful, high-quality newborn photos.

Melissa creates an amazing and relaxing environment for both the parents and babies in her private studio. Her attention to detail is unmatched. We were fortunate enough to have her take photos of both of our boys as newborns and couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome. Her professionalism and patience are truly incredible. I would recommend Melissa to anyone seeking top notch family photos.
