Newborn Session
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.
Baby Registry
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.

A set schedule? Not quite. 😂
For me, weekends (and weekdays) are usually work days—shooting, editing, answering messages, planning, and somehow trying to remember what day it is. 📸☕️

“Wait… you want me to EAT this?!”
Babies don’t always follow the plan—and honestly, that’s what makes these first birthday sessions so fun. 🤍
This puzzled little guy was absolutely the cutest 🥳

A little summer flashback before we fully switch to fall mode. ☀️📸
These moments already feel like they happened forever ago… and somehow, I’m already ready for cozy fall days, crisp air, and everything that comes with this season. 🍂🤎
Summer was good to me. But I’m ready for fall. ✨
