She was a true professional during our session and went above and beyond to make sure she got the shots we wanted. All the pictures she took came out amazing and we got them back even sooner than I expected. She made us feel at ease and was incredible With my newborn. If you are looking for a fabulous photographer Melissa T is your go to girl!

I'm very satisfied with the photos Melissa took of my son Ethan. I loved that she came to my home so I wouldn't have to take my newborn baby out. I also loved that she brought tons of outfits and blankets to create different looks for the photos. She is a very patient and overall sweet person and I'd be happy to have her photograph my family again.

Having our family photographed so that we can cherish the memories, is something that is very important to us. When my son was born, it was a little overwhelming trying to find the right fit for his newborn pictures. We went with Melissa T Photography and we were so glad we did! She is PERFECT for the job. She is so easy to work with, patient and just a genuinely good person. The time it took for her to get the finished product to us is way quicker than I've ever experience with photographers and her work is just beautiful!
We loved our experience so much, that we just recently asked her to photograph our family, now, a year later. She didn't disappoint! Amazing! Love, love, love! Its great to know that we have a photographer for all of our memorable moments.

We loved our session with Melissa. First.she was very prompt in responding to my initial email and was flexible enough to work around our schedule when meeting to do the shoot. She was very kind to our daughter and patient in waiting for the perfect shot. She didn't rush, but quietly and gently set up each shot. She had so many "looks" and outfit changes to choose from.including a variety of different backdrops. She even played relaxing ocean sounds to keep our daughter calm. We would definitely hire her again!

Melissa did an amazing job on both my maternity photos and my son's newborn photos! She is extremely easy to work with and professional. She has suggestions for beautiful outdoor locations (for the maternity photos) and brings the most adorable props for the newborn photos (which were conveniently in my home). She was great with my newborn son (who got a little fussy after several poses) as well as our family dog (who made cameos in both the maternity photos and the newborn photos). I am so happy my husband and I chose Melissa to capture these special moments in our lives! We are thrilled with the outcome!

We hired Melissa to take professional photos of our recent addition to our family, Carson. She did an amazing job, was on time, very caring and the pics came out awesome! Her pricing is very reasonable and straightforward as well. Unlike other photographers out there that do newborn pictures, for one set price, you get all or all of the best pictures she took. We highly recommend her!
