There’s nothing like that first birthday, but cowboys don’t cry!

“What actually changes between a 30-minute session and an hour?”

I think sometimes we choose 30 minutes based on how long we think our kids will last. Which, as a mom (of 2 boys), I completely understand.

But as your photographer, I’m also thinking about how much of that time they might need before they’re comfortable with me.

With an hour, we still have plenty of time ahead of us. That makes a difference in how it feels for you, too. You’re not watching the clock wondering if we’re going to get there.

Because you’ve put time into this, too! You found everyone’s outfits and got your family out the door. I want you to be able to enjoy being with them once you get here, without feeling like you need to convince your toddler to hurry up and have a good time.

An hour doesn’t mean your kids need to cooperate for twice as long. It means we have more room for the moments when they don’t.

So if the reason you’re leaning toward 30 minutes is “I’m worried about my kids,” that’s actually a reason I’d consider the hour 🤍

Fall photos are having their moment right now, but newborns? Newborns are always in season.

While I’m spending my evenings chasing that fall sunset, I’m also meeting brand new babies in the studio and in their homes. Those first weeks go by in such a blur, and I love being able to give you photos that bring you back to how little they felt in your arms.

And if newborn photos are on your list for this year, message me while you’re thinking about it. My 2026/ early 2027 calendar is filling quickly, and I know how fast that list of things to do gets buried once baby is here.

Every year, fall feels far away… until suddenly we’re ordering Christmas cards, shopping for grandparents, and wondering how the season got here so fast 😂

So here’s what I’m already doing to get a tiny bit ahead of the holiday chaos:

I’m ordering Halloween costumes before the ones my boys want sell out. Pumpkin patch bucket lists. I’ve already picked out our Christmas pajamas. I’m grabbing a bag of candy now so I’m not standing in a picked-over aisle on October 30th. And I’m casually browsing Christmas cards, waiting for one of those good sales to hit 😂

I’m also getting our fall family photos on the calendar.

That one always feels easy to put off, but when galleries take a few weeks to deliver, suddenly you’re cutting it close for Christmas cards, prints, and the framed photo you wanted to give Grandma.

My gallery turnaround is three weeks, so booking fall photos now means you’ll actually have time to enjoy them and order what you want without paying for rush shipping or panicking in December.

Nothing groundbreaking over here. I’m just trying to do a few small things now that December me will be very grateful for 🤎

What have you already started planning for the holiday season head ?

It was a good morning for a good morning!!

I had the best time learning from my sweet friend Alexis // Tampa Family & Newborn Photographer. When I hired her for mentorship, I honestly wasn’t sure what I even needed help with. Working with her has helped me see things in my work that I wouldn’t have recognized on my own, and I’m so grateful for that. I mean, look at this magic we captured!!!

I’ll follow you anywhere, friend 🫶🏻

& if you’re still reading, let this be your sign 🪧 that sunrise is where 👏🏻 it’s 👏🏻 at 👏🏻!!!

It really is a gift to me when I get the privilege to watch you celebrate a milestone 🦋

5 reasons to book your newborn photos before baby arrives.

1. You’ll have priority booking.

But what does that even mean? When you book, I add your due date to my calendar and intentionally leave space open for the babies expected that month. Once your baby is here, you’ll have priority when we choose the actual session date.

2. We have a better chance of getting those sleepy, squishy newborn photos.

If that’s the look you’re hoping for, having your session booked ahead of time makes it easier to photograph baby during those first few weeks.

3. You have time to find the right fit.

Newborn photographers don’t all photograph babies the same way. Some sessions are very posed and prop-heavy, while mine are simple, relaxed, and include the whole family. Booking ahead gives you time to decide what you actually want your newborn photos to feel like.

4. We can plan everything without rushing.

You’ll have time to decide between an in-home or studio newborn session, look through the client closet, figure out what everyone will wear, and book hair and makeup if that’s something you’d like to do.

5. It’s one less thing to think about after baby arrives.

You already have enough to figure out during those first few weeks. Finding a photographer and hoping she still has availability doesn’t need to be one of them.

And if your baby is already here, this doesn’t mean you’ve missed your chance! Not every family wants the super sleepy newborn look, and sessions with older babies can be just as wonderful. It really comes down to what you’re hoping for from your photos.

It’s hard to put this past weekend into words, because I don’t think I realized just how much I needed it until I was there.

I hold myself to incredibly high expectations, and sometimes the weight of those expectations can feel debilitating. Being in a room full of women The Storyhood Co. | Photography Community & Education retreat who were willing to be open, honest, and meet one another exactly where they were was something really special.

I needed the slower pace. I needed space to just be, without anyone waiting for me to tend to them. I needed to be poured into for once, especially by own self.

Mel MELISSA SOTO - Florida Family & Newborn Photographer is truly a gem, but even greater than that is the space she’s created for women to show up as they are and receive the kind of support our everyday lives don’t always make room for. She is so clearly on a mission in this education space, and there’s no doubt she’s exactly where she’s meant to be.

I came home feeling more present, refreshed, and reconnected to myself. Ready to step into everything this next season holds for both me and BMP. Let’s GO!!!

I don’t think enough moms know what a Fresh 48 session actually is, or that it’s even something you can book.

Fresh 48 photography happens right in your hospital room within the first 48 hours after your baby is born. But it’s less about those perfectly wrapped portraits you’d get during a newborn session and more about documenting what those very first days!

You’ve only just met your baby. Everyone is tired, the excitement is still fresh, and you’re all taking in the fact that this little person is finally here.

It’s such a raw and tender part of your story, and it passes so quickly. By the time you’re home and settling into life with a newborn, those hospital days can already feel like a blur.

A Fresh 48 session gives you a way to hold onto what it felt like in that room when your baby was still completely brand new.

Did you know this type of newborn photography was an option? 🤍

Sunrise minis are happening next month!

We just had our own family photos taken because I know once the holiday rush begins, finding the time will feel nearly impossible.

Consider this your reminder to get yours done early too, so when the Christmas card sales hit, your gallery is already waiting for you.

Booking link is in my bio!
