Five-Day-Old Melanie ~ Fort Myers Newborn Photographer


Words cannot express how magical the afternoon was photographing Melanie.  She absolutely was the perfect baby.  I photographed her for a good two hours, and the entire time she stayed perfectly calm and happy.  She even smiled a few times, which was just as breath-taking as seeing a shooting star soar through the night sky.  

"May you touch fireflies and stars, dance with fairies, and talk to the man in the moon.
May you grow up with love and gracious hearts and people who care.
Welcome to the world, little one.  It's been waiting for you."

Melanie's Hospital Pictures ~ Fort Myers Newborn Photographer


I was so honored when Kelli asked me during her late pregnancy to take her baby girl's newborn pictures.  A baby's birth is such a memorable moment in a mother's life, and for her to allow me to document this momentous occasion for her was a huge privilege to me.  Here are some of my favorite pictures of one-day-old Melanie taken at Lee Memorial Healthpark Medical Center with some of the comments left on my photography page and Kelli's wall on Facebook.  More pictures are to come.  I'm going to be visiting Kelli's home this weekend to take more traditional newborn pictures.  I can't wait!!

Amy Taylor "OMG.  So cute!!!!!!!!  Man, we have good genes."
Tammy Egan "SO beautiful! :O)"

Kelli Schmidt "I feel so blessed! I couldn't be happier! ♥"

Cheri Johnson Taylor "A picture of a mother's love for her beautiful baby girl Melanie."

Cheri Johnson Taylor "This is a great picture.  Good job Allison!!"
