“We have been blown away by Melissa’s photos. They are always so beautiful. She was able to capture so many sweet moments during our family sessions, even when my two year old was having a total meltdown. She is always so calm and professional and has a knack for keeping sessions lighthearted, fun, and natural, making us all feel so comfortable and confident.”
– Philly Family Community Parent
“We knew we had to work with Samantha for our newborn photos after an amazing experience with her at our wedding! She is so very warm, helpful, creative, and made the entire shoot/experience so easy for us- especially as new parents. A few things that stand out: 1. Her client closet is an incredible option and the dresses she helped me select helped me feel so confident and beautiful even a week postpartum. 2. The opportunity to take these photos in our own home made all the difference- we were relaxed, not rushed, and love having images of our family in our own special “space” 3. Samantha is a baby whisperer and our babe was calm and happy the whole time! Our images are gorgeous and we can’t wait to share and display them!”
