The milestone Experience

Your baby's first year feels like the most fleeting and a true testament to your parental growth.   So many milestones happen, each one just as special and exciting as the last.  Celebrate every step of the way by capturing their  3 month, 6 month,  9  month, and  1  year achievements! 
Then continue to capture their growth year after year with an annual birthday shoot and watch the change that happens right before your eyes.
The options are endless when it comes to a theme or set!  Whether we dream  up  something big or keep it simple, the choice is yours!

A year of firsts. 
making milestones beautiful memories.

The first step is to fill out the form below.   I will call you within 24 business hours of your submission for a quick chat and to answer all of your questions.  We will make sure I am available in the time frame you are requesting since  I take a limited number of  sessions per month so that I can give my best to each client and ensure a great experience!

Melinda is such a pleasure to work with. So sweet to me and just the best when working with my baby!! Such a seasoned mom and professional!!

We recently did a newborn photo session with Melinda Nicole Photography and WOW, she is phenomenal! She captured amazing shots of not only our baby solo, but also the shots with her siblings and the whole family as well. She was extremely patient and gentle with our baby who didn’t want to sleep the whole time, and handled her spit up and other issues with grace. It was so nice to sit back and watch while she handled the session with ease. Melinda has gorgeous wraps, headbands, and props in her studio and made sure she used the colors and set ups I really wanted. She really has an eye for detail and carefully manipulates her lighting and subjects for beautiful results. It is clear the Melinda really cares about her work and the happiness of her clients. I am so glad we chose MNP to capture this special time for our family! I highly recommend her!
