Melissa photographed our newborn son and we are so happy with the photos. Melissa takes her time to get the perfect photos with her families and didn't mind that our little guy needed a few extra breaks in order to do so. Thanks so much for capturing such a special time!

CONNECTICUT NEWBORN, MATERNITY & BABY PHOTOGRAPHER
I book portrait sessions upon appointment in my private photography studio in Coventry Connecticut. I also use beautiful outdoor locations throughout the state. Be sure to capture all the milestones of your baby’s first year of life. Begin with her/his first hours of life. Learn about how our Fresh48 sessions are the perfect way to document this time.
These moments go by so quickly and can never be captured again. I simply love capturing all of life’s moments whether it be a posed family photograph, an unposed candid silly toddler or your everyday lifestyle moments… to me these are all important memories which should be captured and frozen in time. I specialize in newborns and maternity . I also offer baby and children milestone sessions, as well as seniors and families sessions based on availability.

🤍 Expecting a baby? Please don’t wait to book your newborn session. 🤍
This past week alone, I received 26+ inquiries from families whose babies have already arrived—new moms and dads, aunts and grandmas looking to capture those precious first days.
As much as I hate saying no, I’ve had to refer so many families out because I simply didn’t have availability.
When I say I book many months in advance, I truly mean it. It’s not just something I say to create buzz.
I photographed 18 newborns in September alone, and October & November are filling quickly. October, November & December each have only 1–2 openings remaining.
So when I say secure your due date, I really mean it. 🤍
I completely understand wanting to shop around, but when choosing your newborn photographer, look beyond price and how many images you receive. Ask about experience, training, newborn safety, and how they handle and pose brand-new babies.
I’ve had the honor of photographing well over 1,000 newborns, and their safety will always be my #1 priority.
I truly love what I do and feel incredibly blessed every time a family trusts me with their newest little love. 🤍
Thank you to every family who continues to choose me, recommend me, and trust me with your babies.
✨ MHP is currently booking newborn sessions into April 2027. ✨
If you’re expecting, don’t wait until baby arrives to reach out. Once your baby is here, your photographer may already be booked.
📩 Secure your due date today.
Because babies don’t wait… and neither does my calendar. 🤍
Are you expecting? Have you scheduled your maternity session? Reach out today to document the beginning of your baby`s story. Years from now, they will love looking back and seeing what they looked like in your tummy.

Scheduling update!! Are you looking to reserve your due date? Reach out today, as shopping around may risk losing an opening. Newborn safety is a top priority for me, and I take it seriously. That $200 photographer who offers all the pictures at an affordable price may not have my years of training or know how to safely pose your brand new baby. With over 1,500 newborns photographed, I ensure safety protocols are in place, I`m insured, and my work is consistent. I am also fully vaccinated. Food for thought... I love what I do and appreciate every new life that enters my studio. Thank you to my loyal clients and referrers! ❤ MHP is currently booking into April 2027 for newborn, maternity, milestone, and family sessions. Reach out to schedule or reserve your due date today.
