Newborn baby and Maternity photographer, La Quinta, Indio, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Cathedral City | Melissa Landres Photography bio picture

Welcome!

Hi, and thanks for stopping by! Here's a little something about me...

Even in high school, I already knew what I wanted to be when I grew up...it all started with the photography and art classes, I was hooked, I would "shoot" everything. Back then, we started our learning on a school issued 35mm film camera (do they even teach with those anymore?) {{haha}} . Then, when I landed a part-time job with some local photographers, I was living my dream, and I was able to learn so much more about my craft. I've been shooting professionally since 2001. This is not my hobby or side job, I love what I do, and I do it full time. My camera allows me to capture precious images of my loved ones, special memories, and the good times we share. Because I never want to forget these things...

Out of all of the material possessions I have, my photographs are my most valuable. In each image I've captured a special moment, an expression, a laugh, a smile, a feeling, or a story. With my camera that moment has been forever frozen in time. And I would love to share that gift with you. So you too will never forget these things... ♥

Please contact me to schedule your photographs today!

Sweet baby girl { 8 days new } maternity and newborn baby photographer Melissa Landres | La Quinta ca

After 9 long months of anticipation and preparation, there is nothing sweeter holding your brand new baby in your arms…{{ love }}

Newborn babies are the perfect combination of a loving mom and dad. As I photograph these beautiful babies I get to study their tiny little features. And even at just 8 days old, I can already see she has “daddy’s eyes”, and her “mommy’s lips”, and I am again reminded of the beautiful gift of the miracle of life. Even after 3 children of my own, I am still amazed. Thank you to all my clients who have entrusted me to photograph this truly special time in your family’s life. I am honored to capture these memories with you… much love, Melissa
