VANCOUVER NEWBORN PHOTOS
THESE WILL ALL BE MEMORIES SOMEDAY
But with photos, they can be memories you keep.
One day, as you carry your baby to bed, you’ll pass your fave portrait of them on the wall, and realize they’re twice as big as they were in the photo.
ā
Or, create an album you and your little one can flip through together at bedtime. (It might just become their favourite bedtime story.)
ā
You know those frames you have with the stock photos still in them? Fill those with feelings of joy and nostalgia. You deserve to have this time together captured in a special way.
HOLD ON TIGHT,
breathe in deep
When the hard part is over, when you get to hold a new little life in your arms, when the feelings are too big for words…
Your job is to just be here and soak it in.
Smell the top of their head.
Trace their perfect little button nose.
Feel how they fall into you.
There’s nowhere else you’re supposed to be.
My job is to freeze it in time and give it back to you, so you never have to let it go.

“Meliza’s casual approach really put us at ease. We were able to be ourselves and just enjoy spending time with our newborn while Meliza captured every moment. Truly the best photography experience we have had.”
Jodi // Langley, BC
a note about families:
NO TWO ARE THE SAME
(and that’s a wonderful thing)
All types of families, and all identities, are welcome in front of my lens. Whatever love looks or sounds like in your family, I want to photograph it š
LET'S CAPTURE YOUR FIRST MEMORIES TOGETHER
In the place they mean the most - home
// where your arms are open for hugs
ā
// where having a dance party in the living room is the best Saturday night you can imagine
ā
// where sometimes the laundry and the dishes pile up, but that’s okay because parents are busy doing the most important job in the world
You don’t have to make your house look “Pinterest-worthy” to get beautiful pictures with your family.
I’ve got a process that makes getting beautiful photos feel easy.
“Meliza made us feel at home in our own home”
YOU CAN BE YOURSELF IN FRONT OF MY LENS
AND I PROMISE I'LL BE MYSELF, TOO
Tiny toes and cute yawns are wonderful, but there’s also so much more to being the parent of a newborn. Complicated feelings are welcome, here.
Tell me about the good, the hard, and the messy.
I’m all ears.
HERE'S TO THE CUDDLES, THE CHAOS
and the love you share through it all
You don’t have to change a thing about your home or your family to be “photo ready”.
When you have a newborn, you’re on baby’s timeline, and that’s okay.
WE'LL STILL GET PHOTOS THAT LOOK LIKE THIS ^ PROMISE.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
