From the moment you book your session with me, I will be there to help with anything from styling and outfit choices to locations and tips on how to connect with your loved ones. I want to provide you with your own unique captured experience and I want you to enjoy not just your hand-painted images, but the journey and memories that go along with them.
what to expect
I'm here to help
Motherhood can be a stressful but memorable time. Your body goes through many changes, and you may not feel like yourself. You are carrying something so precious within your body, and this incredible season of your journey deserves to be documented.
Let's capture your story
Maternity portraits are a way to capture your personality, emotions, and the connection you share with your growing belly and baby. As your Macon Maternity photographer, I will help you pose in a way that accentuates your lovely bump and curves. I want you to look back at these portraits and see how gorgeous you are during this stage of your motherhood journey.

I highly recommend Melissa for any pictures you would like captured! She is very responsive and will help you through each step, from preparing for pictures to taking the actual shots. I was very impressed with her talent, communication, and friendliness.

She is WORTH every single penny!
I had an amazing experience working with Melissa! She is so friendly and professional and made me feel comfortable during the shoot. I was hesitant to have a maternity photoshoot done, but she made it so worth it! I loved her attention to detail and her responsive communications. I will use her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great photographer.

Many things will happen in your baby's first year, and you might not have the time or energy to document everything. But don't worry - join my bundle plan, and you'll have a photographer to capture everything from maternity, newborn, and milestones to one-year family photos! Pay one discounted plan fee to book and enjoy the flexibility to have the milestones you want to be captured within 18 months.
Year of Us Plan
For the mamas who don't want to miss a single milestone
As mothers, we want to hold on to each moment, every milestone, each kiss goodnight. As we grow older alongside our children, the memories of those moments begin to fade and our photographs are all that we have left. With my help, let's turn your beautiful images into stunning heirlooms that can be passed down from generation to generation.
Artwork credits can be used to purchase a variety of prints, such as lay flat albums, acrylic blocks, deckled framed prints, etc., available in your online gallery store.
THE IMPORTANCE OF HEIRLOOMS AND LEGACY.
Maternity sessions typically take place between 30-34 weeks, but this can vary depending on how you’re feeling and personal preference. It’s ideal to have a defined bump by the time you do the photos, but not feel so pregnant that you are really uncomfortable.
06. when is the best time to book maternity photos?
$200 non-refundable booking fee and signed contract are required to reserve your date. Your session is not booked until both are received. Digital image collections begin at $500 and are chosen after your proofing gallery is sent.
05. Do you offer payment plans?
Afterpay is now available as a payment option for your image collection purchase and print purchases allowing you to buy and pay later!
04. WHAT IS REQUIRED TO BOOK?
You will receive a proofing gallery of your photos within 5 days of your shoot. You can then choose which photos you would like to purchase, and as soon as I receive your final selections, I will have those to you within 3 weeks.
03. How fast will I get my photos back?
My clients have access to my client closet where they can browse through and pick out items. I also offer a styling service to help my clients pick out a cohesive wardrobe for the whole family.
02. what are your travel fees?
Travel up to 90 miles is included with my Signature session. Travel fees are $50 extra for each hour outside of my city each way.
