Melissa is so amazing. We had the best experience for both holiday and first birthday/cake smash/family photos. She is professional, creative, talented and fun! She made the process so easy and the photos are incredible. We are so lucky to have had her capture these memories! Will use her for all our family photos in the future for sure!!! Recommend highly!!!

We’ve had our family photos taken by Melissa for a few years now. Not only is she an incredible photographer, she is also amazing with newborns, toddlers and everything in between. Our toddler held her baby sister for the very first time ever during one of Melissa’s newborn photo sessions because Melissa is just so good with kids and coaxes the best out of them. Book her!

Andrea Wilburn
Melissa is amazing! She did our newborn pictures and our son’s first birthday/family pictures. The experience is always stress free and fun. She has everything you need and is so good with babies. I cannot recommend her enough!

It is always such a pleasure to be photographed by Melissa. We have worked with her twice. First for our daughter’s first birthday photos and now for spring family photos in Central Park. Melissa truly cares about each of her clients and puts so much time and effort into every session. She is amazing with our daughter and helped us all to feel comfortable and pose naturally. We are always blown away when we get our photos back as they consistently exceed our expectations. We are so grateful to have these beautiful images that we can cherish for the rest of our lives.

My wife and I brought our newborn to Magenta by Melissa when he was about 4 and a half weeks old. We were greeted by Melissa and her assistant Danielle as soon as we walked in. They told us to take a seat and relax on the couch and that they would let us know when it’s time for family photos. They held, fed, burped, and even changed our baby and are such warm and caring people. When we reviewed our unedited photos online, we had difficulty deciding which ones to pick! Melissa has an excellent eye for perfect angles and how to capture the ideal candid photos. We highly recommend them when you are considering hiring a photographer for your family.

My family and I had a wonderful experience with Melissa during our spring mini session in central park. She did my son’s newborn shoot last year and I knew i wanted her to capture some new family memories under the cherry blossom trees. She was very kind and patient with my baby and she was able to calm my son down even though he was crying hysterically for a while. We were very delighted when we got a glimpse of how the pictures turned out. She is super talented. I can’t wait for the final editing. I highly recommend Melissa to be your family photographer !

Melissa is truly a magician working with kids (and dogs!). She always manages to get multiple perfect shots, even if your kid isn’t in the best mood that day or if neither the dog nor the kid want to look at the camera. Her shots are gorgeous – she captures light beautifully outside and in the studio everything is like a portrait and perfect. I’ve had special moments captured by her from the beginning, and they are truly works of art. She always adds nice touches and details to make you feel special. Thank you Melissa!

I’m obsessed with Melissa’s pictures. I have now used her for both my daughters newborn photos, a cake smash, a maternity session, and so many mini photoshoots in between. She always gets the best pictures, even when my toddler is grumpy! I always plan on always using her 2 times a year and can’t recommend her enough.

We initially found Melissa through Instagram and we are so happy we decided to go with Magenta by Melissa for our family photoshoot. She and her assistant were punctual, professional and a real pleasure to work with. They had staked out a lovely spot in Central Park and came ready with ideas, while also remaining open to input from us. Melissa knew how to coax a perfect smile out of our distractable toddler while also being sensitive to overall cohesion in the shots. The editing and ordering process was smooth. Well worth the cost and would recommend her heartily to others.

If your looking for a photographer who you can capture your family milestones with throughout their childhood – Melissa is definitely the one!!
