Kansas City Newborn Baby Photographer

As a mother, Melissa feels that baby's first year of life is one that merits to be documented with professional quality images. Not just the images you will constantly be taking on your iPhone. Images that are styled with intent and that have incredible clarity and lighting. 

As a parent, you want this first year to go by unhurriedly. Time is something we cannot contain, but Captures in Time Photography can create beautiful images to cherish so that later you will have portrait art of all of those first milestones. With Captures in Time Photography, you will have a documented digital record of that first year for you to remember forever. This way, you can take the beautiful photographs of your tiny baby and create newborn announcements, Christmas cards, and first birthday announcements. You choose how you want to use them, whether it be printing wall prints or creating a scrapbook. Melissa specializes in providing you with captivating images of the every changing first year.

With the Tiny Toes milestone plan, the studio covers the first year: a newborn session, 6-month session and 1-year session with a cake smash. Melissa will give you beautiful, fully-edited images of those teeny, perfect toes and chubby, little cheeks, close-ups, pull-backs and a wide variety. 

The studio is all about choices. When you book a session, you will receive our eight-page backdrop customization guide to select only the backdrops that you prefer. Alternatively, you may also give us some favorite colors or images of your nursery or decor and Melissa will custom design the session for you if you prefer.

Her downtown Blue Springs studio is just 20 minutes from downtown Kansas City and there is everything needed for newborn and baby sessions. There are vintage props and blankets, wraps, headbands, and hats galore! They are all handpicked to be the perfect size and non-distracting to the focus, which is your new, precious baby. There is no need to bring anything except yourself and your beautiful little newborn baby. In the newborn studio, there are two comfortable sitting areas. One in which parents can relax and watch the newborn photographer in action and another in a private room just for nursing if you prefer. 

Our Kansas City newborn photography studio only offers all-inclusive sessions. As a result, you don’t have to choose your favorite images because you receive EVERY IMAGE IN YOUR GALLERY. Melissa believes you will fall in love with every image of your baby, child or family and you should have them all. Each image is hand edited individually and you will receive a personal print-release to make as many prints as you would like. Professional lab printing is also available for enlargements, canvas prints and a variety of custom options.

While all newborn sessions and Tiny Toes milestone sessions are done in her studio, Melissa also offers maternity, baby, child and family sessions outdoors and cake smash photography sessions year round.
