Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear for my maternity photo session?
Comfort is key for maternity sessions. Choose outfits that make you feel beautiful and reflect your personal style. Solid colors and flowy dresses often photograph well, but we're happy to discuss and provide recommendations tailored to you.

How old should my baby be for newborn photography?
The ideal time for newborn photography is when your baby is between 5 to 14 days old, as they tend to sleep more deeply and curl up easily into those sweet, dreamy poses.

How can we prepare for a birthing photography session?

For birthing photography, I recommend discussing your birth plan with me in advance. I strive to be as unobtrusive as possible, so knowing the flow of your birthing process helps us capture your moments discreetly and effectively.

Great experience while getting maternity photos! Mel takes her time and listens to you to ensure you get what you want out of the photo session. Would recommend.

I got Mel to do my son’s first birthday photos & she did not disappoint! She was so cautious and careful with him & kept him entertained to get some wonderful photos I’ll cherish forever. I can’t wait to go back! I will definitely recommend her to all my friends & family. You can definitely tell this is her passion.

Mel is amazing! Not only is she talented but she has the patience of a saint. My one month son was super colicky and did NOT want to pose for us or go to sleep. Mel was an angel with him and managed to still get some great shots. I was surprised to see she even had a changing station on deck with diapers and wipes. I will be booking another shoot in the future! Thanks, Mel!

Would highly recommend Mel with Baby Steps Photography. She did our newborn photos for our baby the first week she was born, and we loved all the photos, the environment as well. She has so much patience with us picking outfits, props and such more.

We had a great experience getting my 6 week old baby’s photos done! Mel is so sweet and was constantly making sure my baby was comfortable through it all. And of course the pictures turned out so good!

About

Hello my name is Melondy most people call me Mel. I've always been a follow-your-heart-kind-of-gal. When I decided to pursue photography. I never knew where this journey would take me. I've always had a passion for photography and always just shot pictures for fun. I moved a couple years ago from Charlotte NC to Anderson SC. I specialize in newborn, birthing and maternity photography. I recently started working as a birthing photographer at St. Francis hospital and absolutely love it. I also have a newborn and maternity studio in Anderson SC. I have tons of props, wraps and outfits to choose from. I have so many ideas I would love to share with you.
