...s/instagram-feed-pro/img/placeholder.pngIt’s been a long 3 months for these kiddos. They weren’t there for all the deployments before, this was the first and last for them! David was able to come home a month early so we decided to surprise them. We told them Grandma was coming to town for the weekend and they had no idea their Dad would be coming out the gate instead. It was exactly the type of homecoming video I love to watch and cry over 😭. Reunions are the BEST!! #homecoming #homecomings #cominghome #reunion #reunions #reunitedanditfeelssogood #reunited #reunitedfamily
...s/instagram-feed-pro/img/placeholder.png✨ NEW HEADSHOTS, SAME ME! ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hello there! Thought it was time for a proper re-introduction. I’m the face behind the camera at Melissa Arlena Photography, where I specialize in capturing those precious newborn and family moments in a natural, bright style that tells your unique story. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I’m not behind the camera, I’m a mom to three amazing littles who keep me on my toes! Our weekends are spent sailing the Chesapeake Bay on our family sailboat - where some of my favorite memories (and impromptu photo ops!) happen. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Fun story - the moment I spotted this Lilly Pulitzer top with the adorable giraffe print, I KNEW it was time for new headshots! Huge shoutout to Brielle who absolutely nailed these photos! ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I also run an SEO/Marketing agency @PicturePerfectRankings, helping fellow photographers shine online! (Because photographers should be found easily, not hidden on page 37 of Google 😉) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I believe in creating images that feel as authentic as they are beautiful, whether that’s a sleepy newborn in their nursery or a family laughing together at sunset. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’d love to know - are you here for photography inspo, business tips, or just to follow along on my journey? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Drop a 👶 for newborn photography, 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 for family sessions, 💻 for photography business chat, or ⛵ for sailing adventures!

From timeless wall galleries to heirloom albums and fine art prints, I'm here to help you create something beautiful that tells your family's story.

...s/instagram-feed-pro/img/placeholder.pngCalling all expecting couples! Are you looking for the perfect maternity session that captures the natural joy and excitement between you and your spouse? Look no further! I specialize in on-location and in-home lifestyle maternity photography in Charlottesville and Richmond VA, and I know exactly what you're looking for. As someone who understands that not every pregnancy journey is easy, I am dedicated to creating a relaxed and easy experience for you.

...s/instagram-feed-pro/img/placeholder.pngThose carefully curated nursery shelves tell such a beautiful story - from the books you can't wait to read together to that precious ultrasound photo that made this all feel real. 📚✨ Every item holds a piece of your hopes and dreams for this little one. The National Parks book hinting at future adventures, the cozy teddy bear waiting for first snuggles, and that "Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn" title promising years of seasonal stories ahead. These are the details that might seem small now, but will spark such vivid memories years from now. The way you'd rock them before bedtime, their tiny head nestled against your chest as you turned page after page. How even in those earliest days, your voice reading these stories became their favorite sound. This is why we document it all - because someday these sweet shelf details will remind you of exactly how it felt to dream up their perfect space, one bedtime story at a time. 🤍 #nurserydetails #motherhoodphotography #bedtimestories #documentingmotherhood #newbornphotography #lifestylenewborn
