HELLO

WELCOME
I’m so honored that you’re considering Melissa Batista Photography to capture
such a special chapter of your life. As a mother myself, I may not know your exact
story, but I do know how deeply meaningful this journey is. I’ve stood where you
are now, experiencing the mix of excitement, wonder, and love that comes with
motherhood.
Whether you’re expecting your very first baby, celebrating a glowing pregnancy,
or already chasing after a little one while preparing for the next, one thing is
always true, these moments deserve to be remembered. From maternity portraits
that highlight your natural beauty, to gender reveals filled with joy, every part of
your pregnancy is worth preserving.
My goal is to capture the magic of this season while making the experience
stress-free and memorable. I’ll be right there to guide you with posing, wardrobe
tips, and ideas to ensure your session feels effortless and fun.
I can’t wait to create timeless memories with you!

Testimonials
“I received Melissa's information from a MUA I worked with for my baby shower. When I saw her Instagram, I knew I wanted her to take my maternity and newborn pictures. I love her light pictures style, I didn't want the typical studio pictures or dark backgrounds; I wanted my pictures to stand out and they sure did. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would. She was communicative from the get go, as soon as I reached out to her. All the information she sent over was clear. The turnaround time or receiving the proofs and edited pictures was impressive; she's fast and professional!
Her husband works with her and they're an amazing duo; they work so well together. Their studio is spacious, beautiful and clean. Their selection of outfits/accessories are beyond gorgeous. I can't wait to us them again for my next maternity and newborn shoot. Once again, if I could give them more than 5 stars, I would.”

"Melissa & Ed are amazing! Our session was absolutely perfect. From the moment we contacted Melissa, she was great. She responded to us very quickly, explained everything in detail, & her work is INCREDIBLE! During our shoot she made us feel extremely comfortable even though it was our first time meeting. The studio is IMMACULATE! Beautiful lighting, VERY clean, & many props & dress options. We had an amazing time & absolutely cannot wait to see our finished photos. We would 100% recommend Melissa & Ed to not only friends/family, but ANYONE looking for a photo shoot! We will be back for sure! Thanks again!!"

Testimonials
"We've had the pleasure of working with Melissa for about 3 years now, and we could not be happier! She truly is a talented, creative, and patient photographer, always going above and beyond to capture our vision. She goes out of her way to make us feel comfortable in the studio, and is so patient with our toddler- definitely not easy! She manages to capture all of our best moments, and we've never been disappointed. We definitely look forward to many more sessions ahead, especially with our newest addition!"
