Your Life is Art!
From the first kicks you feel in utero, to the tiny fingers wrapped around yours, to first steps, first days, and first loves.
The journey of parenthood brings
celebration, struggle, joy and tears.
It's messy, exhausting, rewarding, difficult, and
SO. DAMN. BEAUTIFUL.
So let's make it ART.
the artist
Yes, I want you to love your photos,
but it's so much more than that!
I want to walk you through the process,
minimize the stress of your photoshoot, chat with you while I wrap and pose your newborn and deliver gorgeous images that will make you feel all the big emotions
that having a new baby evokes.
Your newborn is precious and as a Mom of 2 teenagers, with
10 years of newborn photography experience, a focus on baby safety, high end props and equipment,
you can be confident in choosing me as your newborn photographer.
the artist
You're here because you're
looking for a photographer...
not the story of my life,
so I'll keep it short. ;)
I'm a daughter, sister, wife, mama,
coffee drinker, nature lover,
avid reader,
outgoing introvert (weird right?),
creative artist and photographer.
I love to capture moments,
emotions, laughter, beginnings,
innocence and joy.
I'm grateful that you're
considering me to photograph part of your life's journey.

The photos are stunning!!
I teared up looking at them and I am in awe of how beautiful they are. You are an amazing artist and I will highly recommend you to all my friends and family - Jordana
We had an amazing experience with Melissa for both our maternity photoshoot and newborn studio session. She was extremely professional and took some breathtaking photos of me when I felt my most vulnerable and insecure about my appearance in late days of my final trimester. The photos of my newborn son are absolutely priceless. I will forever be grateful for choosing to go with Melissa Auer Photography. We will definitely be using her in future for our photography needs - Amanda
Melissa was absolutely incredible for our newborn shoot. She was extremely organized and made sure to send us tips/tricks we might need to have a successful baby shoot. And when our little guy didn’t fully cooperate during the initial shoot, Melissa made space for us to get the final shots that we really wanted. She was so gentle and lovely with our newborn every step of the way and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Not to mention the photos she captured were absolutely stunning and we couldn’t be happier with them. I can’t recommend her enough and we will certaily be using her in future family shoots. - D'Arcy
Melissa worked her magic creating a comfortable soothing environment for baby and we got the most beautiful photos. Literally every single one was perfect! We even got a few shots of him smiling in his sleep. Highly recommend her and i would definitely use her again!! She is a baby whisperer helping settle them into the poses! - Michelle
My husband and I researched quite a few photographers for our first baby’s newborn photoshoot and we really liked Melissa’s style of photography based on her website and Instagram. We are so thankful we went with her. Not only are the photos better than we imagined but the experience with Melissa has been the best part. She was so accommodating with the booking and she had every detail planned out for the session before we had arrived. She created a comforting environment and was so patient with our fussier than usual baby. Melissa made sure that we were happy with what we are getting every step of the way. I highly recommend Melissa for any kind of photoshoot you are looking for. We will be booking with her again. - Nancy
