Newborn baby sessions are best completed when babies are under 3 weeks old. These sessions take place in Melissa’s private studio in Wake Forest, NC (just a couple of miles outside of Raleigh, with easy access to I-540, Capital Blvd., and 98). Sit back and relax, take a nap, enjoy TV and wi-fi, as well as snacks and beverages, while Melissa works with your baby.
Coming to her studio means there’s no need to clean your house or do anything at all to prepare — it’s nice & simple and the best situation for new Moms and Dads!
Your newborn session includes Melissa’s time and expertise in baby posing, the beautiful styling of your session, as well as access to her massive collection of props (hats, headbands, baskets, buckets, blankets, etc. etc.), and custom retouching of your portraits.
Melissa prides herself on capturing the most adorable poses and creating works of art. She is widely known for her immaculate posing and “baby-whisperer” abilities! Her attention to detail and experience level set her apart from other newborn photographers. She has photographed hundreds of babies in the past 15 years, and remains one of the most sought after photographers in the Triangle.
Be sure to book as early as possible, as Melissa is highly sought after in the Triangle area for her experience and knowledge.
