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.

Many thanks for your interest in my work, I hope to one day touch your heart with images of your beautiful children and capture special moments in your life.
A photograph never grows up; you want to cherish your newborns first days, your infant’s first smile, your child’s silly ways, your teen’s senior portrait, the strength of your family. Let me capture the moments you will treasure for a lifetime.

Double the tiny toes, double the sleepy snuggles, and double the love. 💙💙
It was such an honor to welcome twin brothers Benjamin Richard, and Joseph William into my studio for their newborn session. These precious little boys already share an incredible bond, one that will grow stronger with every milestone they experience together. They were amazing and I`m not sure either made a peep.
Photographing newborns is always so special, but capturing twins is a beautiful reminder that some of life’s greatest blessings come in pairs. Every tiny yawn, little stretch, and peaceful cuddle is a memory their family will cherish forever.
Mom and Dad - Thank you for trusting me to preserve these first precious days. Wishing Benny and JoJo a lifetime filled with laughter, adventure, and the unbreakable friendship that only brothers can share. 💙

Sweet baby Arthur, he was an absolute dream for his session. Big sister Alicia had just as much hair as he does when she was a newborn as well. Loved seeing this sweet family again for Arthurs newborn session.
