Colorado Springs newborn sessions are currently done in my in-home studio. I provide everything needed for our session including wraps, props, outfits, and much more.
The family portion of your session is done in my lifestyle studio setup. I have kept my setup neutral to go with anything you may have in mind.

Colorado SPrings Newborn Photographer
sweet little babes. precious memories.
This momma and I connected so I could bring her sweet little one into the studio and get some colors out that I typically don't get to use. I love using different colors for girls!
Being a Colorado Springs newborn photographer has brought me so much joy.
Sweet little baby aurora
This is the second sweet baby that I have had the privilege to photograph for this family. It is such an honor to be trusted with such precious memories of your little one.

Baby David came to me from about two hours away to do newborn photos in Colorado Springs at my in-home studio. Mom wanted a rustic feel with earth tones. These browns and greens gave us just that.

Imagine seeing your sweet little baby for the very first time after going through labor and birth. Their sweet little feet, ten tiny fingers and toes.
My philosophy on newborn photography is simply this - your baby is never going to be this little again. This is such a milestone in each and every parents life. It's important to document it. The number one thing I hear as a newborn photographer is "I wish I had done this with my first baby."
Congratulations, you're pregnant! I don't think it's ever too early to reach out and start the process of scheduling newborn photos. Reaching out early will ensure a spot on my calendar early enough where we can plan for a session around your due date. I prefer to do newborn photos between 7 and 21 days old. I can do older newborns as well, we just have to rethink what a newborn session looks like just a bit.
Fill out my contact form and tell me your vision. Posed newborns? Lifestyle newborn photos? Would you like to include family and siblings? I'd love to chat!
1. Say Hello
The process for a newborn session is a bit different just because we can't schedule it until baby arrives. However, we can start planning it!
Here's where you'll tell me exactly what you'd like your sweet little ones session to look like. If you've seen a setup or specific color you like in my work, you can let me know in your newborn session questionnaire.
2. Planning it
Congratulations, you've had your baby!
I tell all my clients to plan on having me in your list of people to notify when baby arrives so we can get you on the calendar as soon as possible.
3. schedule it
Where are my posed newborn sessions located? I have an in-home studio! I am located near the crossroads of Academy and Union.
All my posed newborn clients travel to my house where I have a private studio with a private bathroom and a parent relaxation area. I have all of my props and my posing table along with professional studio lighting. If you choose my full newborn package, family photos are done in my lifestyle setup. (you can see more of this setup on my about page)
4. Your Session
The question I get asked most - when will I get my photos?
My turnaround time is currently two to three weeks with a sneak peek within 1 or 2 days. Once sent, you can view your photos in a digital online gallery and select which photos you'd like depending on the package you have purchased. You can then purchase additional photos from there as well at $10.00 a photo or $150.00 for the full gallery.

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!
