I’m Melda, the photographer behind Monreve Photography — a Vancouver newborn and baby photographer, mother of two, and early childhood professional who deeply understands how precious these early days are.
I have over 10 years of experience photographing newborns and babies, alongside more than 15 years working hands-on with infants and young children in early childhood education. Before focusing fully on photography, I worked as a licensed Early Childhood Educator, experience that naturally carries into every newborn session I create.
My newborn and baby photography sessions in Vancouver and Surrey are calm, unhurried, and always baby-led. I am certified in Childcare First Aid & CPR, hold Food Safe certification, and maintain active credentials to ensure your baby’s safety and wellbeing. My home studio is kept clean, warm, and thoughtfully prepared for newborns and babies.
As both a parent and a professional, I understand how important it is to feel confident when choosing a newborn photographer. Every session is guided with patience, gentle handling, and respect for your baby’s comfort — allowing you to relax and trust that your little one is in safe hands.
At Monreve Photography, safety is never an afterthought — it is the foundation of everything I do.

Soft, timeless imagery for life’s earliest chapters
Tender beginnings, quiet moments, and the beauty of motherhood —
captured with care, patience, and heart..
The newborn and baby stage is a season filled with quiet moments, tiny details, and beautiful change. These early days pass quickly — the curl of their fingers, sleepy stretches, first smiles, and growing curiosity — all deserve to be remembered with care and intention.
My newborn and baby sessions are gently guided and thoughtfully paced, creating a calm, safe environment where your baby’s natural expressions and connection take the lead. From the first days at home to milestone moments throughout the first year, each session is designed to preserve this chapter in a way that feels timeless, emotional, and true to your family.
The newborn & baby stage is filled with soft details, sweet expressions, and fleeting milestones that pass far too quickly. At Monreve Photography, baby sessions are thoughtfully created to preserve this season in a calm, natural, and timeless way.
Sessions take place in my home studio located in Vancouver and Surrey, where a blend of natural window light and carefully balanced studio lighting is used to create soft, flattering imagery. I work with a gentle, fine-art approach — combining available light with Einstein Paul Buff studio lighting and umbrellas when needed — to ensure your baby is beautifully lit while remaining comfortable and relaxed throughout the session.
Each setup is kept simple and intentional, allowing your baby’s personality, expressions, and connection to take center stage — creating images that feel warm, natural, and enduring.
Welcoming a new baby is a meaningful transition for the entire family — especially for big brothers and sisters. During each newborn session, sibling comfort is gently prioritized, allowing children to be themselves in a calm, unhurried environment.
Through soft guidance and patience, we create natural connections — tender hugs, quiet moments, and portraits that reflect how your family comes together in this new chapter.
Parents are guided into relaxed, effortless poses that feel natural and authentic — even if you don’t feel camera-ready just yet.
No stiffness.
No pressure.
Just warmth, closeness, and timeless family portraits.
The baby stage is full of discovery — from curious expressions and gentle smiles to tiny milestones that seem to appear overnight. Baby photography sessions are designed for little ones aged 1 month to 12 months, celebrating personality, connection, and growth.
As your baby becomes more alert and expressive, sessions focus on natural interaction, simple posing, and genuine moments. Whether your baby is lifting their head, sitting independently, or beginning to crawl, each session is thoughtfully styled to reflect their unique stage.
These portraits preserve the joyful, fleeting beauty of babyhood — before your little one takes their next big step into toddlerhood.
Every Newborn & Baby Photography session is approached with care, patience, and intention. My pricing reflects not just the time spent photographing your baby, but the experience, safety, preparation, and artistry that go into creating timeless images for your family.
Sessions are designed to be calm, baby-led, and unrushed — allowing space for feeding, soothing, cuddles, and connection. From your first inquiry to your final images, every detail is handled with warmth and professionalism.

Tender beginnings, quiet moments, and the beauty of early childhood.
The newborn stage is delicate, fleeting, and unlike any other. These first days are filled with sleepy stretches, tiny details, and peaceful moments that pass far too quickly.
Newborn photography sessions are best scheduled within the first 27 days, when babies are naturally curled, calm, and comfortable being gently posed. Each session is completely baby-led, allowing time for feeding, soothing, and cuddles — never rushed, always patient.
With a fine-art, minimalist approach and soft, flattering light, your baby’s earliest story is captured with care, safety, and timeless simplicity.
