What a sweet and beautiful family! It was such an honor documenting their first photos as a family of four. We stayed warm in the cool temps by holding the session in my studio – something that I am so appreciative for in these KC winter months! Family photos don’t have to be reserved for […]
A little peek into a studio newborn session at Melanie Soltz Photography. Scroll through to see this sweet family of 3 as they welcomed baby Olivia! All of my newborn sessions take place in my Overland Park, Kansas studio. My bright and clean studio space is timeless and classic, allowing the family and baby to […]
