Baby Milestone
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. My goal is to capture those precious details for you so that you have them for a lifetime! The session also includes family portraits.
Most common milestone sessions are done at 3 month, 6 month, 9 month and 1 year.
During your booking process, we will discuss the location (Melodi Photography home-studio or an outdoor location), your clothing selections for your little one (and the baby clothing options I have in studio), prop options and your vision.
Studio session includes different setups. If it’s for 1 Year Milestone, we can do a cake smash and bubble bath setup too. Cake smash set up includes balloons, banners, and other props. You bring your own cake.
Baby Milestone sessions (including digital images) start at $400. Please contact for detailed package info.
$200 non-refundable retainer fee is required to secure a date.
The rest of the fee is due on session day.
Print ordering is optional and prints start at $50.

Every day comes with choices…
This dress or that one? One more coffee or call it a day? 😄
But here’s the thing—
The little choices we make (with heart, humor, and maybe a bit of indecision) shape the life we’re creating.
So choose what feels good. Choose what brings peace.
And if all else fails—choose the cuter dress. 😉💛
What kind of choice are you making today—big or small?

Love was all around during this session 💛
From the way they laughed together, cuddled their baby, and chased after their little ones — this family radiated joy and connection.
It’s moments like these that remind me why I do what I do. Real love. Real life. Beautifully captured.
If you’re dreaming of photos like these with your own crew, let’s make it happen this fall 🍂✨

Give me good light and I’m happy. ☀️
That soft golden glow, the way it wraps around a moment and makes everything feel dreamy… yes please.🌅
Photography is all about noticing the little things—like how the light hits just right. ✨

Tiny toes, sleepy yawns, squishy cheeks… and those little smiles that melt your heart. Every session is a reminder of how fleeting these early days are—and I get to freeze them in time for families to hold onto forever. 💛
Honestly? I love what I do. And I’m so grateful I get to do it. 🙏🏻
