Newborn portraits are so very unique! Babies change incredibly fast and there is limited opportunity in the first few weeks of life to get the style of posed sessions that Melissa is so well known for. When choosing a newborn photographer, it is vital to choose someone who has plenty of experience, not just in photography, but in the safe handling, care and expert posing of newborn babies.
