LET’S CONNECT

We worked with Josie for our newborn photoshoot and we absolutely loved it. We had previously done a maternity shoot with Josie (and had really enjoyed the experience as well), but we were still surprised with how great the experience was for the newborn photography.

Josie is clearly a natural with kids, and we were impressed with how well she took care of our little guy throughout the shoot. The end result was amazing - we really appreciated all of the different themes, and it was really hard narrowing down the photos to the ones that we wanted to frame or put in the picture book.

I would highly recommend Josie for both the maternity and newborn shoots, and I know we’ll work with her in the future.

I gave a maternity and newborn shoot to my daughter and her family. (But knew they would also be treasured photographs for me, the grandmother, so a selfishly a gift to myself as well!)I looked at the websites of a lot of photographers around the Portland area to find someone whose style was creative but not kitchsy, and whose skill as a photographer clearly showed.I'm so glad we found Josie.She is a truly gifted photographer. Her eye for composition and ways to set up poses that highlighted the family and showed so much emotional content without being "too cute" was just what I wanted!And she was so professional, in communication with and in holding to all timelines!

I came across Josie's work on social media. I am so pleased to have booked with her for my Maternity Photos. The process to book was seamless. We had plenty of communication through email and phone calls prior to the shoot.

Having been my first solo shoot I was nervous, but working with her is an absolute dream! She made me feel so comfortable and confident and this shows through the photos! I trusted her guidance the entire process and I enjoyed every minute of working with her.

I am so happy with the end result of the photoshoot and the products I have received from her. I couldn't recommend SunnyMelon enough and I am looking forward to the next occasion to book with her!

Wow - Josie created some real magic! Originally we were going to do a special first birthday shoot for our son, but then a week or so before the shoot we asked if we could also do some family photos with the grandparents too. Josie was very accommodating and was able to squeeze in some amazing family shots in addition to a cake smash. Her home studio was friendly and inviting with complementary snacks. The photos are perfect, the materials of the physical frames, canvases and acrylic book are all high quality. We are very happy with these memories that we can now cherish forever. Thank you!
