I'm missy, your louisville Newborn, maternity and Family Photographer
Here to truly see you and help you hold this moment
As a mother of two myself, I understand how tender and overwhelming these early days of motherhood can feel. Between the sleepless nights, the constant feeding schedules, and the immense love you already have for this tiny new person, the idea of planning photos can feel like just one more thing on an already full plate.
I’ve been in your shoes — stressing over outfits that didn’t feel right, worrying about how the kids would behave, and ending up with images I liked but never actually enjoyed because they stayed tucked away on my phone.
After more than six years of being a Louisville Newborn Photographer, working with growing families, (and living this season myself), I created a full-service photography experience designed to take the pressure off and gently guide you through every step.
You don’t have to do this alone — your memories deserve to be seen, held, and enjoyed every single day. Let me help you document this beautiful chapter of your motherhood story.

What an absolutely incredible experience my family and I had with Missy for our family newborn session. From the moment we walked into the studio we felt at ease and so comfortable in the space. Missy is truly a photographer unlike any other I've ever experienced. From professionalism to preparedness she facilitated the best session I could've imagined for our family. Missy made me and my family feel like we were in the living room of our own home. Do yourself a favor and invest in an unparalleled studio experience paired with beautiful captured memories of you and your family!

This is what I do for you
The Complete Experience
STYLING & PLANNING
Once you've booked your session with me, we'll meet at my Louisville newborn photography studio to plan your session! I'll help style you & your babies with outfits that have been carefully curated & photograph beautifully. We'll finalize a location & start discussing what your goals are for artwork in your home.
SESSION DAY
If you're using my hair & makeup artist, I will have her scheduled to pamper you before your session. I'll have your outfits steamed and ready to go on location. We'll have a relaxed session and capture the sweet season of life you're in. Your kids will have fun and your husband will leave saying "wow, that was actually pretty painless."
DESIGN & ORDERING
When your photos are ready, we'll meet again at the studio for your photo reveal and ordering appointment. You'll view gallery wall designs I've created just for you, and we'll design your album together & fill it with all your favorite images. MMP clients plan to spend $1200+ at their ordering appointment.
A timeless, neutral backdrop so your precious memories are the center of attention. Located on the east end of Louisville, KY, the studio is the perfect timeless backdrop for your photos. It's available to any MMP clients for styling, planning, ordering & design, as well as your session.

Those early days were a blur, I was tired, emotional, and so focused on getting through each hour. Seeing the images brought me right back. Not just to how my baby looked, but to how it felt to hold them, to be in that moment, to be us. These photographs became something I reach for when time moves too fast. I’m so grateful I have them.
