Your Life is Art!

From the first kicks you feel in utero, to the tiny fingers wrapped around yours, to first steps, first days, and first loves.

The journey of parenthood brings

celebration, struggle, joy and tears.

It's messy, exhausting, rewarding, difficult, and

SO. DAMN. BEAUTIFUL.

So let's make it ART.

 

the artist

I’ve spent over 11 years capturing beautiful and meaningful moments for my clients.

From dramatic maternity sessions to tender newborn portraits and the dynamic energy of growing families, I've won awards in every genre I shoot.

My style is rich, vibrant, and detail-oriented, reflecting the care and attention I invest in every session.

I continuously update my education and equipment to ensure that my clients receive the highest quality photography experience.

I love capturing the moments that matter—the emotions, laughter, connections, and joy that define your life’s journey.

I’m honored that you’re considering me to be a part of preserving your memories.

client testimonials

Melissa, you were awesome and made it so easy for us and (our baby). It was already overwhelming for us with the new baby but working with you just was so much easier than I anticipated. - Deeksha

 

The photos are stunning!!

I teared up looking at them and I am in awe of how beautiful they are. You are an amazing artist and I will highly recommend you to all my friends and family - Jordana

 

We had an amazing experience with Melissa for both our maternity photoshoot and newborn studio session. She was extremely professional and took some breathtaking photos of me when I felt my most vulnerable and insecure about my appearance in late days of my final trimester. The photos of my newborn son are absolutely priceless. I will forever be grateful for choosing to go with Melissa Auer Photography. We will definitely be using her in future for our photography needs - Amanda

 

Melissa was absolutely incredible for our newborn shoot. She was extremely organized and made sure to send us tips/tricks we might need to have a successful baby shoot. And when our little guy didn’t fully cooperate during the initial shoot, Melissa made space for us to get the final shots that we really wanted. She was so gentle and lovely with our newborn every step of the way and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Not to mention the photos she captured were absolutely stunning and we couldn’t be happier with them. I can’t recommend her enough and we will certaily be using her in future family shoots. - D'Arcy

 

Melissa worked her magic creating a comfortable soothing environment for baby and we got the most beautiful photos. Literally every single one was perfect! We even got a few shots of him smiling in his sleep. Highly recommend her and i would definitely use her again!! She is a baby whisperer helping settle them into the poses! - Michelle

 

My husband and I researched quite a few photographers for our first baby’s newborn photoshoot and we really liked Melissa’s style of photography based on her website and Instagram. We are so thankful we went with her. Not only are the photos better than we imagined but the experience with Melissa has been the best part. She was so accommodating with the booking and she had every detail planned out for the session before we had arrived. She created a comforting environment and was so patient with our fussier than usual baby. Melissa made sure that we were happy with what we are getting every step of the way. I highly recommend Melissa for any kind of photoshoot you are looking for. We will be booking with her again. - Nancy
