If you ask me, there’s nothing sweeter than those first few days at home with a newborn baby. Those precious fleeting moments of sleepy snuggles, wide-eyed wonder and pure unfiltered love.
I just don’t think anything can top those amazing first days together, when the whole world melts away and nothing matters, but family.
Today I’m sharing images from my newborn lifestyle session with the beautiful Terry family!
They are a military family of four, who invited me into their Suffolk home to document their first moments bringing home baby Hollis.
Big sister made sure to keep a careful eye on baby Hollis, and to shower him with kisses.
She was a big help all throughout the session, giving me a tour and letting me know the laws of the land. :)
She was eager to help keep her baby brother happy with snuggles and bottle feedings. She even climbed into his crib to make sure he wasn’t lonely. She drew the line at diaper changes though!
I love capturing these newborn family moments! These are the photos that will serve as the foundation of a sibling bond and the memory of those foggy first weeks together as a family of four.
Welcome to the world sweet baby Hollis! You certainly are surrounded by love.
Thank you Terry family, for inviting me to photograph these beautiful newborn memories for you. All my best wishes for many happy days together! - XOXO, Melissa

A few years ago, I had the honor of photographing a gorgeous beach wedding for two of the most beautiful souls I have ever met. Marlaina and Shean were a joy to work with from the moment we met to discuss their engagement session.
So, naturally, when they contacted me to let me know they were pregnant, I was over the moon for them! It was such a special treat to meet their beautiful baby girl, and to document these first sweet moments for them as a family.
Meara - don’t you just love her name?? - is every bit as perfect as I knew she’d be. She is a delightful little beauty. And she is loved beyond measure.
Of course, her older (slightly furrier) sibling was keeping a careful watch over the newest family addition.
Those sweet little hands and feet, and that fuzzy baby hair…I just couldn’t get enough!
Our session concluded with a serenade from Dad, which sent Little Miss M. off into sweet slumber, and then a quick tour of the nursery. I love the charming details of this mermaid girl’s room decor. Mom and Dad did a great job of making a unique space for her!
It was truly a joy to spend time with this sweet family! I was grateful to be able to capture all that lovely newborn newness for them. Congrats Flynn family! Much love always!! - XOXO, Melissa

I fell in love with this adorable crew as soon as I met them! They welcomed me into their home to document their family’s growth with the addition of their sweet baby girl. Their boys immediately showed me to the toys, and had me giggling along with their shenanigans within 5 minutes. ,
Like most boys under 5, they were wild and silly, but when they snuggled up next to their baby sister, they were so gentle and sweet. They melted my heart into a puddle.
And this beautiful little lady was absolute perfection - so dainty and peaceful and brand new. <3
When the whole family snuggled up on the bed together, the room was so full of love and light and joy. I can’t really even put into words how beautiful and heartwarming it was. The photos tell the story better than I can, so I think I’ll just leave it at that.
Thank you O’Quinn family for welcoming me into your home to capture this amazing time in your lives. I look forward to seeing you all again soon! - XOXO, Melissa

Hi friends! This weeks I have some sneak peeks from another charming newborn session to share! I met the Joseph family for the first time back in the fall of 2016. They booked a fall family lifestyle session at Windsor Castle Park, and I fell in love with this awesome little family then.
After that first session, I shot a lifestyle family maternity session for them. Then, I was honored to photograph some of their first days at home with their beautiful new baby girl. Hang onto your heartstrings folks, because these images are SO sweet they are sure to tug at you.
I am so smitten by this adorable crew! I seriously could have shot them for days. Sadly, they told me that they will be moving away from Hampton Roads in the coming months. That news was such a sincere bummer. I am thankful I have had the chance to get to know them and share some memorable moments. They will always hold a special place in my heart!
Best wishes and much love Joseph family!! XOXO - Melissa

I'm sharing peeks today from a sweet little newborn lifestyle session in Norfolk.
I met the Van Hooks just before Easter, at their lovely home in the Larchmont area. They have a brand new baby boy, Jackson, and he is just the bees knees, I tell ya.
Mom and Dad are doing a fantastic job of sharing the new work load, and all the trials and tribulations that come along with caring for an infant 24/7.
They were warm, friendly, and laid back, with that easy southern charm that makes you feel right at home from the moment you pull up in the driveway.
I loved spending time getting to know this beautiful family, and it was such a treat to be able to document this special time for them. I truly adore newborn lifestyle sessions, and I've got another to share with you soon! Stay tuned...
Congrats on your new addition, Van Hook family! Enjoy that sweet baby boy!! - XO, Melissa

Today I have a super sweet newborn lifestyle session to share with you! This baby girl and her family stole my heart and gave me a case of baby fever. And that pooch?! The sweetest!
Mallory contacted me a couple of months ago to schedule an at home newborn lifestyle session for late November. Her sweet baby girl, Penelope, would be a month old then, but it would be the first time her daddy was home to spend time with her. He was on deployment during her birth, so Mallory wanted to make sure they had some beautiful family photos to celebrate his homecoming, and their first days as a family of three. I am a huge baby lover, and have a soft spot for military families (I know the struggles first hand), so I couldn't wait for our session!
I spent an hour with them as they snuggled, soothed and loved all over sweet Miss P. My heart just melted over the way her daddy looked at her, and the way her mama soothed her cries. And their pup was so gentle and eager to be a part of it all - I fell in love with her too!
I honestly wish I shot more newborn lifestyle sessions. They always tug at my heart so. What is more precious than those first few days with a newborn?!
I adore this beautiful family and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with them. I am so happy that we were able to create these images so that they can hold onto these cherished fleeting moments for years to come.
Congrats on your new addition, Tassone family! Enjoy that sweet bundle of love!! - XO, Melissa

Oh, how I adore in home newborn sessions! There is nothing more precious than those first few weeks at home with a newborn. Seriously. Life doesn’t get sweeter than this.
I had the honor of photographing maternity portraits for this beautiful Virginia Beach couple last spring and knew immediately that they would be amazing parents! I was so excited to meet their baby boy! We planned an in home session for shortly after they returned from the hospital and we all waited anxiously for his debut! This session, like their maternity session, is one of my all time favorites to date. This gorgeous family will forever hold a warm spot in my heart. I am so thankful to have such wonderful clients and to be able to collect these beautiful memories for them.
