Newborn and baby sessions take place in Melissa’s spacious, comfortable 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, nurse baby in a private nursing room, enjoy TV and wi-fi, as well as snacks and cold 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.
For your convenience, Melissa offers newborn sessions, as well as baby’s first year and maternity photo sessions!
Be sure to book as early as possible, as Melissa is highly sought after in the Triangle area for her experience and knowledge.
