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.
I’ve had the joy of photographing these kids at their preschool for a few years now—watching them grow in little snapshots of time, year after year. So getting to see them again, this time wrapped up in their family’s arms was incredibly special ✨
As summer slowly gives way to fall, I’m already dreaming of golden light, cozy layers, and families making memories together. 🍂
Fall sessions are now booking, and this is truly one of the most beautiful times of year to step in front of the camera.
Availability is limited, and these golden evenings fill quickly—so if you’ve been thinking about updating your family photos, now is the perfect time to reserve your spot and make it happen. 💕

Four months of smiles, giggles, and so much personality! 🩵✨
This little cutie came to celebrate his 4-month milestone with the sweetest handmade crochet teeth, toothbrush, and toothpaste—a fun little tribute to his dad, who happens to be a dentist! 🦷🪥
I love creating milestone sessions that tell your family’s unique story. These little details make the memories even more meaningful, and years from now they’ll bring back the biggest smiles.
Happy 4 months, sweet boy! Watching my tiniest clients grow is one of the greatest joys of my job. 💙
