If you want a photographer who captures real, emotional moments between you and your little ones, I'm your girl!
Of course, we have to get those few posed images for grandma and grandpa. I always aimed to get a mix of both. After-all, they wouldn't be memories without it, right?

When this sweet little family came to me with the idea of this fun family session to bake cookies, I was absolutely thrilled! I absolutely love creative and fun family sessions that involve more candid moments than posed.
How sweet are these photos going to be to look back on?!
in-home family session
Watching the magic unfold when you have a second child is truly something out of this world. Just when you thought that your heart could not love more than one tiny human, you find out that there is certainly room for two.
This sweet family had the sweetest babies.

The Pruitt's came to visit from out of state and found me on social media and I could not wait to do family photos for them! Often, when coming from out of state, most people want the gorgeous views of Colorado. Colorado Springs family photos at Garden of the God's offers a bit of everything that you can find here in the state.

The Family Experience
When most think of family photos, we think of standing there and posing - staring right at the camera and saying "cheese." While I do get a few of those, I aim to capture the emotional connection between you and your children. Candid moments that make memories come flooding back when you look at them in 5, 10, 15 years.
The best way to get your children to have a genuine smile is to let them do things that they enjoy. I swear I don't mind chasing your sweet babies around to capture them in their true selves.

I also have a style guide I can send over that explains what patterns and textures photograph the best and how to put everything together for your little family.

The Investment Details
Nursing my daughter was one of the most special times in my life and is why my motherhood session has been my favorite to date. It means the absolute world to me that I have such tender pictures to cherish for the rest of my life.
Melissa was so patient and kind with Olivia and myself. I also felt incredibly comfortable nursing in front of her. She's exceptionally talented and captured our session perfectly!
Motherhood session
I can't say enough wonderful things about Melissa! She is everything you want in a photographer: listens to what you want, has a great eye, can make your kids and husband cooperate, and on top of that a wonderful client closet! She also got me my photos back quicker than she said and had a variety of places to recommend for photos. She helped me decide on outfits for the rest of the fam as well!
We loved our maternity pictures so mech that we did newborn as well and are now looking at booking her again for some updated family photos. I highly recommend Melissa! She is wonderful to work with. You won't regret it!
