What moms say..

we have since used Melissa for an in studio session and outdoor mini session. Every time her professionalism and warmth blows us away. She feels like family. Ahead of the sessions she sends wardrobe ideas, FYIs, and every piece of information you might need – whenever I think I have a question for her one of her email communications comes through with the answer. She is so patient and loving with the children, and despite kids being kids she creates magic 100% of the time. My husband and I (and our family and friends) continue to be blown away. We are so grateful for the beautiful memories she captures for us!

Melissa is the best photographer!! We have used her for newborn photos, 1st birthday cake smash and family photos. She is so great with babies and children. My toddler loves her and it really comes through in the photos. The photo sessions are fun and easy. The final product is PERFECTION!!

Where do I begin! Melissa is the sweetest and extremely welcoming. The process could not have been easier! We arrived with her gorgeous set up already in place and a wardrobe ready to choose from for your baby. She has the most beautiful clothes and props. Cannot recommend her enough. I am so happy the way the photoshoot and photos came out!

We recently worked with Melissa on a newborn session. Melissa was very accommodating, professional, and is an actual BABY WHISPERER! Our daughter loved the session- she didn’t cry the entire time we were there which made our experience stress-free and so relaxing. Photos are perfect— exactly what we were looking for! Thank you Melissa!

Melissa is a fabulous photographer! Our family has scheduled a photoshoot with her each fall for the past 3 years and each year she captures us beautifully! What sets Melissa apart beyond her skills is her way with children. We have a 2.5 year old and a 3 month old and she was able to capture tons of smiles and kisses! Her patience and gentle nature made it possible! We can’t wait for Melissa to continue to capture all of our family memories.

Melissa is an incredible photographer and is so so good with babies. I’ve hired her 3 times and each time she has made it so easy and efficient to get great photos. We’ve done in home newborn lifestyle shoots, in home studio shoots, and a shoot in Central Park and I’ve loved each one.
Editing to add that we’ve now done 6 shoots (adding mother’s day minis, holiday minis, and an in-studio shoot), and we love Melissa even more each time!
Arti Matu
We love the photos Melissa took of our daughter! She’s such a talented photographer and was incredibly patient with my daughter. She worked so hard to get my daughter to smile when my daughter was being particularly grumpy. Melissa was also very flexible when my parents took my daughter for another mini-session I had booked but wound up not being able to make. My parents loved the entire experience, and have pictures taken by Melissa all over their house. I would highly recommend Melissa for family photos!

If you’re looking for an experience, this is it. We did a Christmas mini session with Melissa and she managed to make the experience personalized and catered to, the ambiance relaxing and not rushed, and is a baby/toddler whisperer resulting in happy faces actually looking at the camera. She delivered our most cherished pictures with everyone looking great which is super difficult with two under two. The turnaround time from session to final edited product was also quick. The best personality, professional, and talented. We’ve found our family photographer!

Melissa is an incredibly talented and energetic photographer. She made the whole experience enjoyable and fun! Melissa was very patient and had creative ways to capture my little one’s attention and get the best photos possible. The album she created for us was gorgeous, truly one of the highest quality albums I have ever seen. Her style is classic and timeless. She captured beautiful moments in time that we will cherish for a lifetime.
