Bringing home a new baby is one of the most emotional and unforgettable times in your life. As a newborn photographer, I don’t just want to give you beautiful images, I want to give you an experience that feels as calm and supported as possible.

From the moment you walk into my Shelby Township studio, everything is taken care of. You don’t need to bring a thing for your little one. My curated collection of newborn props, wraps, and outfits is ready and waiting. The space is quiet, warm, and designed with your comfort in mind. Whether you want to sit back and relax or stay close and observe, I’ll guide you every step of the way.

My approach to handling newborns is gentle and confident, developed through years of experience and an understanding of what babies need to feel secure. You can expect a slow, thoughtful session where your baby is never rushed and always supported.

A few days after the session, we’ll meet online for your ordering appointment, where you’ll see a full gallery of proofs and select the images you love most. Whether you’re choosing a baby-only package or looking to include family images, I’m here to help you create something truly timeless.

One of my favorite parts of this work is hearing how the experience felt for families like this sweet review from a recent client:

“We did our newborn pictures through Melissa and are so happy with the results! She was wonderful to work with, did great with our son, and the end results turned out beautifully! We highly, highly, recommend using Melissa for any photography needs, especially newborn pictures.”

These early days go by fast but the memories don’t have to fade. I’d be honored to help you preserve them with art that reflects the love and beauty of your growing family. Let me know how I can help!
