About
Hello, I'm Melyssa
Silva Studios Photography is a Las Vegas portrait studio specializing in maternity, family photography, and newborn. Sessions are photographed by Melyssa Silva at Red Rock Canyon, Springs Preserve, Floyd Lamb Park, the dry lake bed, local neighborhood parks, and in clients' own homes across the valley.
Melyssa spent years as a fashion model and more than twelve years as a nanny. The modeling taught her light, movement and how to guide posing. The child care taught her that toddlers in motion captures special moments of them being themselves.
Where we shoot
The Las Vegas locations worth driving to
Melyssa will suggest one based on the light, the season and what your family can comfortably do.
Red Rock Canyon
Layered red sandstone, wide desert floor, and the warmest light in the valley at golden hour. Gentle paths that small legs can handle.
Best for Maternity · Family · Couples
The Dry Lake Bed
Sky and earth, nothing else. Flat, open and easy to move through — which makes it the calmest option for toddlers who need room to wander.
Best for Maternity · Family · Couples
Springs Preserve
Green and growing in the middle of the desert. Botanical gardens and wide, level paths that work for strollers and new walkers.
Best for Family
Floyd Lamb Park
Old trees, wide lawns and water — the softest, most garden-like setting in Las Vegas, and a favorite for maternity sessions.
Best for Maternity · Family
Your own home
Calm, intimate and completely stress-free. The default for newborn sessions, and increasingly requested for maternity too.

Kind words
From Las Vegas families
“From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at ease. Our little one can be shy, but somehow the session felt more like a fun family outing than a photo shoot. Melyssa captured such genuine moments between the three of us — laughing, playing, and just being ourselves. The Citrus Park setting was beautiful, and the final photos are something we'll treasure forever.”
