Hey there!

 

I'm Melissa, Phoenix's premier in-home newborn photographer with a passion for capturing those precious early moments right in the heart of your home. There’s just something magical about documenting your sweet little miracle in the space where love already overflows.

​

My sessions are all about keeping things relaxed and cozy — for both baby and parents. Whether it’s those tiny fingers and toes or tender family snuggles, I’m here to create timeless, heartwarming images that celebrate your newborn’s first weeks.

​

From newborn bliss to family adventures, I’m ready to freeze these unforgettable moments and turn them into a visual legacy you’ll treasure forever. Let’s capture the love and joy that makes your family’s story so special!

Family photo session in Surprise Arizona

Chelsea

We have 5 kids who are six and under. It is no easy feat to photograph our family. Melissa worked magic in getting our kids to not only look at her but actually smile and enjoy the experience! Even our highly anxious oldest laughed and said she can’t wait for our next session. We’ll be booking with Melissa every year.

Melissa is amazing! She made our baby and us feel so comfortable and at ease during our newborn photo session. She brings everything she needs, is gentle, and efficient. Even though our baby girl was a little stubborn, she adjusted her shots and they came out beautifully. Worth every penny and we have recommended her to several of our friends!

We booked two sessions with Melissa- our maternity and newborn photos. Her work is amazing! She was professional, gentle with our newborn, and hilarious! She felt like family! Can’t wait to have her come back to take more family photos!

Melissa is truly a baby whisperer. Her patience and gentle approach create an atmosphere where she takes the time needed to achieve the perfect shot. Even with our energetic two-year-old, she displayed remarkable patience and was able to both entertain and capture incredible shots.
