SESSION DETAILS
maternity
Capturing Life's most precious gift.
The best time to schedule these sessions is around 32-38 weeks, but of course they can be done right up until your due date. During this time the belly is just the right size to be nice and round without being too uncomfortable.
I offer two options for maternity sessions. First is in the comfort of your home. We can use backdrops, wraps, and dramatic window lighting to create a beautiful intimate session. The second option is to have an outdoor, on-location session. These sessions are fantastic for those who want to be photographed in a beautiful or fun location.
Gender reveal sessions are fun too. Maternity sessions take about an hour.
newborns
What a special time! There are no words to describe the love a parent feels for their newborn. They grow up so quickly. You will look back and long to remember their tiny toes and fingers, their little yawns, and the way their bodies seemed to mold so perfectly in your arms. I want to help you remember these special first moments! Newborn sessions last 2-3 hours allowing for feedings, cuddling, and breaks. These sessions are done in the comforts of your home. Newborn photography is my passion. Posing your baby correctly is an art that takes experience and patience. I have an extensive prop collection of beautiful wraps, fabrics, headbands, and outfits. I supply everything.
The best time to schedule is 6-14 days old. After you book with me to hold the date, please email me as soon as your little bundle of joy arrives so we can make sure to schedule your session before 14 days. My style is timeless, simple, and natural. Patience, creativity and safety are all important factors that create the Melissa T Photography experience. With 10 years of experience and hundreds of babies photographed, I offer not only years of experience, but the comfort of knowing your baby is in the hands of a professional. It is never too early to book your newborn session as I book quickly.
To check my availability please email me at melissatphotography@gmail.com to reserve a spot on my calendar. With each and every baby, my utmost desire is to create timeless and finely finished treasures of your newborn that you will proudly display in your home and share with friends and relatives whether in the form of a canvas, as heirloom quality prints or as a keepsake album. Thank you for considering me for your baby's first photos! Custom newborn photography is precious art that you will cherish for a lifetime!
family + children
With Melissa T Photography you will experience a professional and inspired photographer who creates images of you or your loved ones in a friendly, relaxed environment.
Your custom portrait experience can occur at an outside location of your choosing. Maybe at your favorite park, the beach, an urban setting, or anywhere in-between. Your session will last approximately one hour. My sessions are laid back. Relaxed sessions create the most genuine moments. I like to make it fun, and I take the time necessary for capturing the best portraits. I am open to any ideas that you may have in order to reflect your style. My intent is to capture the true essence of a child, siblings, or family in their element.
milestones
These sessions are all about capturing the sweet milestones that happen in the first year of your baby's life! Grabbing their toes, giggling, putting anything and everything in their mouths, tummy time, sitting up, crawling, etc etc!
My goal is to capture those precious details for you so that you have them for a lifetime! These sessions do not have to be exactly at the 6 Month, 9 Month, 1 Year. They can be whenever you feel like you want to capture where your baby is! Every baby hits different milestones at different times, so don't worry if we do their 6 month session at 8 months! Absolutely ok!
senior portraits
Senior sessions are so much fun. Each senior has their own personality, and I love to capture that in their photos. This is your time. It is all about you and your awesome achievements! All you have to do is Rock your style! We have a great time so bring a few outfits and accessories and we can decide what looks best.
We can do 2-4 outfit changes depending on the package you pick!
