Immerse yourself in a world where every moment is a story waiting to be told. At Little Lore Studio, we blend artistry and emotion to create timeless memories for your family.

For over two decades, I’ve been telling stories through imagery — first as a journalist, then as the founder of Melissa Robotti Photography, where I built a reputation for capturing weddings and families with quiet honesty, editorial beauty, and a distinctly poetic lens.

Little Lore is a natural extension of that work — a space where my background in photography, video, and sound come together to create sensory-rich keepsakes for families in their most fleeting seasons. This isn’t traditional portraiture. It’s storytelling that honors your child’s voice, your home’s rhythm, and the sacred beauty in your everyday.

When I became a mother, I realized that the most powerful stories were unfolding right in front of me, in the everyday moments of raising children. After two decades behind the camera, I’ve come to believe that childhood deserves more than snapshots. It deserves story.

Not posed. Not polished. But real, poetic memory — held in the sound of your baby’s breath, the clumsy joy of your toddler’s dance, the way a parent’s voice catches when reading a letter aloud. These are the pieces that make time feel real again.

With each session, I bring years of experience, an editor’s eye, and a mother’s heart — to help you remember not just what this time looked like, but how it felt.

At Little Lore, I create layered keepsakes that combine photography, subtle video, and voice to preserve your family’s early years. My sessions are gentle, sensory-rich, and deeply personal — designed not just to document what this season looks like, but to hold onto how it feels.

I work with families throughout Boston, Cape Cod, Nantucket, and NYC, offering a quiet alternative to traditional portrait sessions. If you believe your family’s story is worth remembering — softly, beautifully, and truthfully — I’d be honored to help you tell it.
