Newborn sessions are done best in the first 2-3 weeks after birth to ensure those squishy and sleepy poses. As soon as you book, a welcome guide is sent to you which includes lots of helpful tips and information for a successful newborn session.
In the meantime we will discuss the available props, your vision, favorite colors, style of your baby’s nursery room, etc.
Newborn session packages start at $700.
You can book a "Bump to Baby" maternity and newborn sessions package and save $.
Please visit the maternity session page for more info.
$200 non-refundable retainer fee is required to secure a date (If your baby arrives earlier or later than expected, we can always reschedule). The rest of the fee is due on session day.
Print ordering is optional and prints start at $50.

Family and friends can purchase gift certificates to give to the expecting parents which will be applied toward their photo session balance and/or product purchase. The gift of Melodi Photography portraits is one that expecting parents will be able to cherish long after their bundle of joy has outgrown another cute outfit!
Gift givers who purchase registry credits will be mailed a beautiful gift card to give at the shower or even after baby is born.
This Spider-Man themed birthday photo session was pure joy 🕷️
He’s 4, confident, playful, and completely in his element 😃

Every birthday comes with a different smile, a different energy, a different story 🎉
That’s why no two sessions ever look the same—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Newborn sessions aren’t about perfection—they’re about patience, safety, and comfort 🤍 After 10+ years of newborn photography, I design every session to be calm and baby-led.
They are best planned before baby arrives 🤍 I’m currently booking newborn sessions in Bakersfield, with a calm, baby-led approach. If you’re expecting, now is the perfect time to reserve your spot.
