kind words

"Melissa has been photographing my childrens' milestones since they were newborns. She has a beautiful studio and an amazing selection of props and outfits. Each session feels very relaxed and my children are at ease around her. My walls are covered in her work that are hard switch out as they grow. I recommend Melissa for anyone looking for a newborn and milestone photographer."

Jessica

Our newborn experience with Melissa was better than I could have ever imagined. First you are welcomed unto her studio which is beautiful and clean. Next your newborn is taken through multiple different looks they are all perfect and catered to what you want. Lastly, the images that she produces make you so happy that you decided to get a newborn shoot. All in all, I couldn't recommend Melissa more to anyone considering a newborn shoot. You will not be disappointed."

Rebecca

"It makes me so emotional that our family is lucky enough to have Melissa capture the growth of our family through the beauty of her talent. Her eye for detail, and overall calmness makes for a wonderful experience. Anyone who works with Melissa will be amazed at the outcome of their session."
