Melissa Pereira Photography 3.44

When you’re expecting a child, the way time passes seems to change. At times, the nine months of pregnancy seem infinite but, upon looking back, the time passes in the blink of an eye. As a maternity, newborn, and child photographer, I know that capturing these fleeting moments is one of the most precious gifts we can give ourselves and our children.

I myself am a wife and mother of three beautiful children. The experience of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood not only changed my personal life forever, but gave me inspiration for my professional career path.

I photographed every moment after my first son arrived, and started a professional hobby with the arrival of my second child. After giving birth for a third time, my passion for photography fully ignited, and I haven't looked back since. Photography truly is my passion and I am thankful that I have the ability to pursue it daily.

The heart to me of an image, is emotion. I create a timeless print of the innocence and peacefulness in a baby, the playful love of an infant, and the joy and enthusiasm that emanate from young children.

It is my goal to freeze time for a second so my clients are able to look back and remember the happy times and the love they felt as their family grew. As a mother and photographer, I am able to see and capture the emotion and connection that exists in each moment between parents and children. Capturing these moments that pass all too quickly makes me truly feel with all of my heart, that I am doing what I was born to do.

I would be honoured to capture those special moments for you and your family.
