3 Things to Avoid in Your Photo Session (and what to do instead)
6 Questions to Ask your Newborn Photography
Hi there! I'm Melissa, a Northern Virginia Family & Newborn Photographer. Welcome to my journal, where you can find recent sessions, location ideas, tips for your best session, and more!
As a newborn photographer, I’ve heard countless stories of infertility struggles from families. Many have persevered through multiple attempts to bring their cherished children into the world. I have a deep affinity for families with such journeys. While all babies are treasures, those born after loss or a long wait hold a special place in their parents’ hearts. The challenges are real; one in four women experiences pregnancy loss, more common than many realize. Each child truly embodies a miracle, and it’s incredibly moving to capture these happy endings.
I feel privileged to have documented such a poignant moment for Evelyn & Ryan during their maternity session.
We selected Boar’s Head Resort in Charlottesville for its stunning blooms and variety of settings. Shooting there was effortless; no additional fees add to the appeal. Though this session took place in Charlottesville while I was based there, the Northern Virginia area offers equally scenic spots for maternity photography.
I eagerly anticipate meeting their baby boy in May and capturing their journey into parenthood!
If you’re expecting and want to preserve this special time, reach out to me today about maternity and newborn sessions. Let’s create lasting memories for your growing family!
