Tarryn & Jose traveled from Springfield, Louisiana for their studio maternity session. They were an absolute joy to photograph. Tarryn was radiant and glowed in every photo of her gallery. They will soon welcome their newborn baby girl, Apsen.

Kortney was just radiant for her maternity photo shoot. She came ready to try anything I suggested and she made my visions come true for each set. She will be welcoming twins to her sweet family soon.

When I saw her work I knew she was exactly who I wanted to do my maternity pictures! She’s very kind & accommodating. I didn’t feel rushed as I was 9 months pregnant trying to switch outfits as well as change poses. She also made sure to have a variety of snacks that I was able to indulge in between setups while I took a break. My boyfriend & I highly recommend her as we both are extremely pleased with our photos!

maternity Session
We searched for a long time to find someone to do our maternity and newborn pictures for our rainbow babygirl and we are so happy we found Melinda!! She was so nice and sweet and made sure we got all the shots we wanted for our family and she even gifted us the cutest hat for our baby with her name on it for her shoot! We have a beautiful collection of photos that we will cherish forever all thanks to her!

We had the pleasure of working with Ms. Melinda for both my maternity and my baby’s newborn shoot. Everything was perfect. She takes care of you and your family’s every need. We were running late and I needed to curl my hair once I got there and she even curled my hair for me! I was so spoiled I did not have to bring anything. Literally she provided the clothing, the music, snacks, drinks, & most of all an amazing personality to help you loosen up in front of the camera. For our newborn shoot, all that I had to do was hand her my baby and she took over from there. A 2-3 hour break that we needed so much as new parents. I will never forget the moments we shared in the studio. Working with Ms. Melinda meant the world to me. Thank you so much for everything.
