Maternity in Melissa, TX.

Melissa questions.
Do you travel to Melissa?
Yes — Melissa is the home base. No travel fees anywhere inside the city.
Where is a good spot for family photos in Melissa?
For outdoor sessions, the community parks work well, and Erwin Park just south in McKinney adds wooded options. For toddler sessions I strongly recommend in-home.
How far in advance should I book?
Most Melissa sessions are family or first-year shoots — two to six weeks is typical. For weddings, book six to twelve months out. For private events, one to three months.
Do you work with new parents who aren't sure what they need?
Yes — most Melissa families start with a quick call. I'll walk you through the options and tell you honestly what makes sense for where you are in the chapter.
When should I book my maternity session?
Between 32 and 36 weeks is the sweet spot. The bump is clearly there, you still feel comfortable moving around, and you're not yet in the final-stretch fatigue. Book the date itself 6–8 weeks ahead.
Can my partner and kids be in the photos?
Absolutely. Bring whoever you want in the frame. If there are toddlers in the mix we shoot their parts first — their attention budget is short.
Indoor or outdoor — which works better?
Both work. Outdoor golden-hour sessions give you softer light and a natural setting. In-home gives you comfort, the nursery, and a space that feels like yours. Tell me what you'd prefer when we book.
