SCHEDULING

A session agreement and invoice to pay session retainer will be sent to you via email.  Sessions are only scheduled after the session agreement and session retainer are received.  Your due date is then added to my calendar.  We will finalize your session date after baby has been born.  Studio newborn sessions take place in my Troy, Michigan studio. Booking during your 2nd trimester is recommended to ensure availability on my schedule, however, I may have availability occasionally for sessions booked after baby has been born.

CONSULTATION & WARDROBE

Sessions are styled during our consultation and via online questionnaire.  Props, wraps, headbands, bonnets, etc, specific to newborn photography, are all provided. Consumer grade prop purchases are not recommended.  Studio gowns are available for parent portraits. You will receive a Parent Prep Guide to prepare you and your newborn for his/her first portrait session, along with a Wardrobe Guide with tips for coordinating wardrobe.

STUDIO

My Troy, Michigan studio was designed with my newborn babies and their families in mind.  All the comforts of home allow you to relax and catch up on Netflix, or you can even take a nap after enjoying a cup of coffee or tea, or a cold beverage and snack.  There are restaurants close by for lunch.  I have a comfortable nursing area for parents and stocked changing area for your added convenience.

RETOUCHING

A soft proofed online gallery will be sent to you to view & order your images about a week after your session.   Skin retouching, such as blemish removal and tone correction is included to give skin a natural, polished look to the images you choose.  Additional editing should be discussed in advance of your final product creation.

“Melissa did an amazing job capturing photos of my newborn preemie daughter. She was so gentle and sweet and the pictures were just amazing! We have definitely found our new family photographer and can’t wait for our next session!”
