the melissa x lynne experience
here's what you can expect
We only accept 9 sessions per month in order to protect our creativity and ensure that every Melissa x Lynne client receives the caliber of service they deserve. We strongly encourage booking your session at least 3-4 months in advance. However, sometimes we may be able to accommodate last minute requests.
Every Melissa x Lynne client that we photograph is an amazing fit with us from Day One. This is important to us because we truly want your experience to be just as memorable as the images you leave with. After all, you are going to be looking at them (in awe) for so many years and generations to come.
booking your
session
Your session will be tailored specifically to you as we work with you personally to focus on your ideas and visions for your session. During your pre-session consultation we will discuss your ideas on wardrobe, styling, hair and makeup, posing and setups for your session. If there are any images from our portfolio that you resonate with we would love to know about these so that we can get a sense of your unique style.

''This entire pregnancy has been tough. I have felt really tired and have gained more weight than I’m use to. To say the least I have NOT felt super beautiful throughout. Melissa x Lynne gave me an experience of a lifetime!! They did my hair and makeup, hand picked outfits that would make me look beautiful and literally posed and catered to me the entire time. This was the most beautiful I have felt this entire pregnancy. I would recommend it to anyone.'

MATERNITY
At Melissa x Lynne a maternity session celebrates one of the most powerful and life-changing experiences you will go through. We show women the beauty and power of motherhood through portraiture while embracing your bump. Our balance of editorial and artistic composition provides you with timeless portraits that will inspire you for years to come.
Custom-tailored sessions include collaborative planning, professional hair and makeup, wardrobe for your session, styling, an artistically directed photoshoot with Melissa and Raven, magazine-style retouching, and final deliverables to suit your unique needs of your session.
MOTHERHOOD
Capturing the love and joy-filled moments of motherhood. Never let these fleeting moments slip away. No matter how busy life gets, you will look back on these images and cherish every hardship and joy motherhood brings. This will become a treasured heirloom passed down for generations to come.
Newborn
Love for the simpler, smaller moments we get to share with our clients. Documenting this season of your life is always a gift. With all the changes in life a newborn brings, these first few days to weeks become a blur and you'll wish one day to be able to relive those little moments. That is why it is so important to capture every little detail of those first few moments of your little one's existence in this world.
COUPLES
This session is the perfect fit for a couple seeking to showcase their love story. Portraits will always be a reminder of the love that brought you together. Whether in-studio or at a unique destination, combining elements of couture fashion with an intimate setting yield extraordinary, effortless results.
This is one of our favorite ways to get creative with our clients for their portrait session.
PORTRAITS
Reflect on images that take your breath away and stop time in its tracks. No matter the moment, it is such an honor and we find it to be an incredible opportunity to get to share and capture all seasons of life with our clients.
