Melissa Giles Photography

I am a studio newborn and natural light family photographer based in Peachtree Corners, Georgia. Photography has always had a place in my heart. My father was a lifestyle photographer, so growing up I always had an appreciation for the craft, though I never in a thousand years imagined I would follow in his path.

It all changed when my son was born. He is the reason my appreciation turned into a passion and career. My husband and I battled infertility, failed IVF, and multiple miscarries before our sweet rainbow baby Corbin was born. I didn’t get any maternity photos done out of fear, and didn’t get any newborn photos done when he was born. I was too busy keeping him alive, ha, ha! I didn’t pick up my camera till he was two months old and haven’t put it down since. When I was pregnant with my daughter, Anissa, I KNEW things were going to be different. I didn’t want to miss out on capturing my pregnancy or her first images while she was still tiny and squishy.

This is why I do what I do. I don’t want you to miss a single moment: while your baby’s little feet can still fit in your hands, or watch a father dancing with his daughter on a warm sun-drenched afternoon, or admire a mother holding her son while he still fits in her arms. We will pass these moments onto our children and grandchildren as cherished memories.
