Let's face it, your little one is only small for so long. Soon you will only have these memories to look back on.
Milestone sessions are designed to be simple so the focus can be placed on your growing little one. These are perfect for documenting your little one’s milestones within the first year and beyond — like tummy time, smiles, giggles, toe grabbing, sitting and standing. My goal is to document each of these little moments so that you can cherish them long after they’re gone.
YOUR BABE'S MILESTONES ARE IMPORTANT TO ME, TOO.
Real babies. Cherished Memories.
Carly's 6 month milestone session just so happened to be around Mother's Day. So her mama wanted to incorporate some of her, Carly, and Carly's grandmother!
We decided to use a neutral and teal color scheme. After the studio portion, we headed outdoors to grab some portraits in the flower garden!
6 month Sitter in the studio & Outdoors
Indie's mom reached out to me to capture her babe's 6 month session. She specifically wanted to use my boho chair. Normally, I live for monochromatic setups but in this case, mom really envisioned the purple against mustard and it meshed together beautifully.

Rosemary's mama loved neutrals. We used 3 different cream backdrops and outfits for this session. She specially wanted to remember her little thigh rolls, chubby little hand and toes!

ABSOLUTELY LOVED MELANIE!!!
My newborn pictures turned out way better than what I envisioned!! Her eye for detail and just all around creative mindset produced some of the best pictures I’ve seen! And not just mine, her whole portfolio is fantastic! I will definitely use Melanie for all family pictures from here on out ! If you’re looking for someone to capture the best part of your life, Mel is your girl ! I promise you, you won’t regret it !

Melanie was nothing short of amazing. From the first interaction to shoot day. As a new mom I was a bit overwhelmed about, well you know, everything. But Melanie made this experience less stressful. She had everything sanitized and prepared prior to our arrival and assisted with outfit changes (which can be a bit much at times). This was such a huge help. Not to mention her turnaround time was quicker than any other photographer I've worked with in the area. The photos were perfect. 10/10 highly recommend. If you're thinking of using Melanie go for it! You won't regret.

I highly recommend Melanie Amparo Photography! Everyone tells you that your baby will grow so fast & you won’t remember them being so tiny, so it was important to me to get photos of my daughter to preserve her sweet, petite size in a special way. Melanie was able to accomplish that and exceed my expectations. Her style of photography is completely stunning. She is incredibly patient & took her time capturing the perfect images and expressions of our girl. I can’t say enough great things about Melanie & her photography. I will absolutely be using her in the future!
