Documenting family newborn portraits is a precious opportunity to freeze time and capture the delicate details of your little one. These portraits not only celebrate the arrival of your newborn, but also encapsulate the joy and love that fills your home during this special time, creating a visual representation of the unique bond within your […]
What is the most common concern parents share when scheduling newborn sessions? They are worried about how older kids (especially toddlers) will behave. I always let parents know that I have lots of tricks up my sleeve to make it fun and as stress-free as possible. Even if it feels chaotic in the moment, I […]
This family was so sweet, loving, and ready to play! I love when families come ready to be themselves, and allow me to guide and document them along the way. Mama was prepped by my hair and makeup team at her home prior to arriving at our location, and their whole family was outfitted by […]
It’s always a little emotional when a Baby’s First Year Membership comes to an end! Baby Riley turned ONE and we documented the last of their 4 Session Membership. We did an outdoor maternity session as their first, studio newborn portraits for their second, studio milestone photos for their third, and an outdoor one year/maternity […]
This lovely family came to me and had missed newborn photos, and wanted to document their first portraits as a family of 4. Their 2 little girls are adorable, and growing so fast, so we got to planning! They opted for a studio session at my Overland Park studio, since it wasn’t quite warm out […]
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 […]

This family was styled by Melanie Soltz Photography. Mom and I met a few weeks before the session for […]
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. The day of the shoot arrives. You rally the fam, schedule nap times around the session time, prep for the shoot, get everyone dressed and ready, arrive at […]
