In-home newborn photography packages
Celebrate your newest family member through beautiful lifestyle in-home newborn photography. My goal is to showcase the love and awe you have for your newest little family member. I want to document every teeny tiny detail so you never forget just how small they once were. They truly grow so fast, so why not immortalize the early moments of your baby’s life through stunning photographs. Our sessions take place in your home – to document your real life. No adorable baby burritos or cheesy props here. Together, we’ll create a gorgeous collection of photos that celebrate the miracle of life and your family’s love for each other as well as your precious little one.
NOTE: Studio add-on available at the cost of the studio rental.

testimonials from our happy families
"We will be using Melissa again for our family photos in the future.
Melissa is amazing! She did our newborn photo shoot. It’s a very sensitive time for new parents, as a new parent you want to feel comfortable with the person who is taking photos of your new family. She took her time and had wonderful ideas. Her work is impeccable. We love the end product and I highly recommend buying the photo book!
