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.
Baby M and his family 💙

She didn’t wait for the “right time.”
She showed up as she is. ✨
This session was about honoring herself, her journey, and this season of life ♥️

Christmas sessions like this fill my heart✨.
A happy baby girl and her loving parents — sharing giggles, cuddles, and those tiny little expressions that make winter feel warmer.
So grateful I get to freeze these moments in time. ✨🎄❤️
