The trees are starting to get little leaves on them & the grass is growing…🌱
We still have a ways to go for green backgrounds BUT it got me thinking about spring time sessions!
I will only have three spring sessions available! (Mid April & May)

For more info please message me!

Hi all!
I will be deleting galleries up to April 2025 on my website on April 1st. PLEASE go download your old gallery if you still want those photos 🤍

Hello, followers! 👋🏼
A few announcements…
After taking a couple months to slow down I’ve come to realize that I need to continue my slow down for 2026 for personal and health reasons. (Hello to all my other migraine sufferers 👋🏼). I will only be taking on a number of sessions per season…SO watch for session availability in the summer and fall months! 👀

I will no longer be offering newborn photos OR themed mini sessions.
Locations for photo shoots will be at a select number of specific locations. Last year I battled with so many other photographers for spots (which is a great thing that so many people are investing in photos!!) but this year I’m changing up my strategy to hopefully avoid feeling that needed rush to move on to a different spot.

I’ve also adjusted my pricing for 2026. You can find that info here:

https://melissagrappphotography.mypixieset.com/investment/?fbclid=IwY2xjawOTJa5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETBZaFVPSDYzVm4zY1BzOGJac3J0YwZhcHBfaWQBMAABHmVmMFCu8OopcxLLVajSEACuueLdZMaZpYOaSDIlGr1EEcQQFcDjK7gVch7k_aem_CJYlscx547njFO_7sVN6OA

If you’ve been a client with me every year for the past 2 years (and beyond) you’ll get a $50 discount applied to the 2026 pricing on any session!
Please know it’s extremely hard for me to adjust my prices as I’ve always tried to be one of the “cheaper” options but I’ve poured a lot into my little business and I hope everyone can respect that my time is very valuable. Remember it’s not just paying for the session, it’s also the hourssss of editing, uploading, planning, prepping, driving and so much more for me. (And other photographers!)

I appreciate you all & hope to see some of you back in 2026! 🥹

*if you purchased a gift certificate for a 2026 expiring date those will of course be honored and will have a spot for those sessions in my schedule. :)*

I’m all booked up for the fall season! 🥲 My calendar is full & so is my heart! I’m so grateful for returning clients and ones I’ve met (and have yet to meet) this year!

On 9/20 I will be deleting ALL galleries that are past the summer of 2024 off my website.
If you have a gallery with me and are not sure if you have it downloaded, please download again just in case. And if you’ve had a session with me over the past 18ish months and can’t find your link please reach out and I’ll send it to you, if I still have it. :)
Trying to do better with organizing and not hanging on to sessions on my hosting site for years 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️
Thanks, all!

Hey all! 👋🏼
I’m only taking on THREE more weeknight sessions for fall sessions/the remainder of the year (except for my Christmas minis) so please do not wait to contact me!! 🍁

Up next for my schedule will be Christmas minis! 🎄

09/05/2025

Pssssst!
I have a secret that’s about ready to be shared! 🤭
& it has to do with Christmas minis…so if you’re interested keep an eye out!

🎄 Details will be released this weekend! 🎄

08/26/2025

It’s feeling a little like fall today & i wanted to update on sessions! 🍁
All September weekends are full & I have limited availability on weeknights for the month of September & October.
At this time I only have a weekend left in October that is open (18 + 19)
So if you’re looking to book with me please do not wait! I would hate for you to miss out on a spot!

ALSO! If you’re interested in a Christmas mini session please comment a “🎄” - I’m trying to gauge interest & if I will choose to do them this year. I need at least 10 committed to continue on with them this year. They’d be $125 for 10-15 min session. Thinking I’d do a dark and moody theme! (*inspo pic is not my setup nor my photo)
