Josie did a beautiful job of capturing both of our babies as newborns and us as a family. We absolutely love all of the vignettes she curated, as well as the selection of keepsakes she offered (in addition to digital proofs). One of the reasons we're return customers is because of the framed wall photos that customers can purchase. Josie even helped us put together a photo wall with the some of the frames we ordered from both of our children. Additionally, she is concerned with the safety and health of her clients, first as foremost, which was really appreciated. We would definitely recommend newborn photos with SunnyMelon!

Hi, I'm Josie.

After a life-changing battle with cancer that ultimately prevented me from carrying another child, I developed a deep appreciation for the fleeting chapters that shape a family. Today, I bring a fashion and editorial background to maternity and newborn photography.
