Expecting a Baby in Central New Jersey?

You Haven’t Missed Your Chance for Newborn Photos.

We plan, style, and gently guide every session so you can simply enjoy your baby.



Studio located in Perth Amboy, NJ — serving Central NJ & Staten Island families

Most parents contact me worried they waited too long, that their baby won’t sleep, or that they don’t know what they’re supposed to bring.


I specialize in gently guided newborn sessions designed specifically for first-time parents. Your baby’s safety and comfort always come first, and I guide you through every step so you never feel unsure during the session.


You don’t need outfits, props, or experience — I provide everything in my Perth Amboy studio, including wraps, accessories, and simple timeless setups.


Newborn sessions are reserved during pregnancy, and we schedule the actual session after baby arrives so we can photograph them within the ideal 5–15 day window.


I only accept a limited number of due dates each month to ensure flexibility once your baby is here.

YOUR BABY’S SAFETY IS ALWAYS MY FIRST PRIORITY — I AM EXPERIENCED IN SAFELY POSING AND SOOTHING NEWBORNS AND NEVER FORCE A POSE A BABY IS UNCOMFORTABLE IN.

 

What Parents Say


Melissa is just amazing! Her patience and dedication makes the session fly! She was so gentle and sweet with my newborn (who didn’t want to cooperate much). I’m so glad I picked her to capture my newborns first moments!

What to Expect From Your Newborn Session


Welcoming a newborn into the world is a beautiful but overwhelming time, and you don’t have to prepare a thing. My in-studio newborn sessions are calm, baby-led, and fully guided from start to finish.


Newborn sessions are ideally scheduled within the first 5–15 days after birth. To make this stress-free, we reserve your session during pregnancy using your due date, and once baby arrives we choose the exact day together.


Your baby’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. Sessions are never rushed and follow your baby’s pace for feeding, soothing, and cuddling. I gently pose every baby with patience and care, and parents are welcome to relax while I handle everything.


All wraps, blankets, props, and outfits are provided, you simply bring your baby and essentials like diapers and milk. I will guide you through every step so you never feel unsure about what to do or what to bring.


 

 

Your session includes:

• Access to studio wardrobe for moms

• All baby wraps, outfits & props provided ( for newborn sessions)

• Parent & sibling photos ( certain packages )

• Guided posing (no modeling experience needed)

• Professional editing

• Option to purchase Heirloom albums & wall art



How Booking Works

  • Reserve your due date (not a session date)
  • Message me when baby arrives
  • We photograph within the first two weeks



Because newborn sessions are photographed within the first 5–15 days after birth, most parents reserve their due date during the second or early third trimester.


 

 

Your baby’s safety is my top priority.

Newborn sessions are baby-led and never rushed. I use gentle posing techniques and allow time for feeding, soothing, and cuddles. Parents are always right beside me during the session.

Because I only accept a limited number of sessions each month, I recommend reserving your session as soon as possible.
