Hello! I'm Melissa.

A family and lifestyle newborn photographer.

**Due to the Supreme Court's terrible ruling on children's faces being used in AI child pornogrphay, no child's face will be clearly shown on my website or any of my social medias.

Family photos should be fun, not another thing to stress about! Whether you book a short session or a full session, my goal is to make the whole experience relaxed, comfortable, and as easy as possible. I’ll guide you with simple poses and prompts, but there will also be plenty of room for the giggles, snuggles, wiggles, and wonderfully imperfect moments that make your family yours. No need to stress about getting everyone to behave perfectly or knowing what to do in front of the camera. Just bring your people, and I’ll take care of the rest!

Bringing your new baby home should be about soaking in those sweet, sleepy days, not stressing over a photo session. My in-home lifestyle newborn sessions are designed to be easy, relaxed, and low stress, especially for the new momma. The only prep you’ll need to worry about is getting your nursery or one special room ready for photos, and I’ll help guide you through exactly what will work best. I combine my experience as a studio newborn photographer with my love for natural light and lifestyle photography to create beautiful images that feel natural, cozy, and true to your family.
