My Baby’s First Year Membership families have my heart! It is so special to photograph both maternity and newborn sessions for my clients, allowing them to have a stress-free photography experience AND providing beautiful and cohesive images for a gallery wall or album. The family was styled by my client wardrobe for both sessions, and […]
I am just in love with this session! This family drove over 2 hours for me to photograph both their maternity and newborn photos at my Kansas City newborn photography studio, and it is such an honor. Baby was sleepy and happy, and big sister did an awesome job. They have so much beautiful variety […]
I can’t handle the sweet snuggles between this fam! The last time I saw them was for big sister’s first birthday session, and now we documented little sister’s first birthday together. What a beautiful family this is. So much love! The entire family was styled by the Melanie Soltz Photography client wardrobe. All they had […]
Let me set the scene: you research photographers and book family photos. You spend time and energy coordinating the date, planning/buying outfits, and scheduling hair and makeup.

What a FUN milestone session this was! Theo just turned one and we celebrated with a beautiful family session in the studio that ended with a cake smash. Little guy loved the cake and was just as happy as can be! We had fun capturing beautiful memories and including mom and dad in the photos, […]
It is always so special to document this season for families! Waiting on a new baby to join, and documenting your memories as a family of 3 (or more!) before a new baby joins the crew. The last time we worked together was for big brother’s 1 year photos, so it was extra special seeing […]
What a beautiful session with this sweet couple! We had such a great time photographing their maternity session. Mama came by my Kansas City studio a few weeks before their shoot and selected 2 dresses to wear for their outdoor maternity session. She also got an idea of what she will wear for their studio […]
If you are like most people, planning outfits for you portrait session is a big stressor. The time, expense, hassle of going to and from stores with kids in tow… it’s all overwhelming and most don’t know where to start! That’s why I am so pleased to offer access to my Client Wardrobe complimentary with […]
