My Approach to Newborn & Fresh 48 Photography
These first days with your baby aren’t about perfect poses or Pinterest-worthy outfits. They’re about connection—the soft snuggles, the sleepy stretches, the way your baby curls perfectly into your arms. My style is natural, baby-led, and focused on real moments. Whether we’re documenting your baby’s earliest hours in the hospital with a Fresh 48 session or cozying up at home or in the studio for a newborn shoot, I’m here to make this experience feel relaxed, stress-free, and meaningful. No pressure. No stiff posing. Just the real, beautiful love between you and your growing family.
PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEW
Melissa made my family’s first photoshoot feel so natural and easy especially when we’re a socially awkward family in front of a camera. She was very professional and patient with us even when our little one was fussy towards the end. She made us feel like we’re old friends catching up with how quickly she builds a rapport with you. I cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be back to book another shoot with her!

PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEW
"My SIL recommended Melissa for our family and happy she did. We have worked with her twice and both times very happy with the photos. Having two little ones it can be very challenging to get them to cooperate, but Melissa is very patient waiting for the perfect shot. I love the candid photos. We will be booking again ☺️"

When to Book Your Newborn or Fresh 48 Session
The best time to schedule your newborn photography session in Boston or Central MA is during your second trimester to ensure availability around your due date. For Fresh 48 sessions, I recommend booking as soon as possible so I can reserve time around your estimated delivery window. Babies, of course, run on their own schedule—but don’t worry, we’ll stay flexible and in touch so we’re ready when your little one arrives.
