Alex’s Cherished Newborn Session – Newborn Photography in Connecticut

Hi there! Thanks for visiting Melissa Hartigan Photography and browsing my blog. For those who are visiting for the first time, I specialize in newborn photography in Connecticut and have a beautiful photography studio that is located in Coventry, CT. I love to capture special events in people’s lives and give them heirloom quality photographs they can cherish forever of their new baby and as a family. I am so happy to be a part of these memorable moments for this family.  Here is a little peek into Alex’s Newborn session.

Alex’s Cherished Newborn Session – Newborn Photography in Connecticut

Meet Baby Alex, Older Brother Charlie, Mom Lara, and Dad Joe. This family is super sweet, and I adored photographing them for their second baby boy’s newborn session. As a family, they love taking fun trips to the aquarium, the beach and visiting the zoo, trying new restaurants and going to the Berkshires. As parents, Lara and Joe loved watching Charlie experience new things, and now as parents of two, they’ll love watching both of their children experience life together as siblings, and as a family too.

Lara and Joe booked the Cherished Newborn Session back in February which was ahead of their baby’s due date, which was perfecting for booking. Planning ahead and booking your newborn session to get in on my calendar is highly recommended.

Older brother Charlie was pretty excited to be getting a baby brother, that he could play with and grow that brotherly bond with. These two being so close in age are going to grow up and be best friends. After all, they say that brother’s make best friends for life.

Lara requested mostly neutrals for Alex’s newborn session with a touch of green. We focused on grays, creams and taupe colors and added a little touch of green here and there. I love photographing neutral colors with little touches of color because they work so well together and they give that added element of fun.

Melissa Hartigan Photography has a beautiful curated newborn wardrobe to style each baby with. If you’re looking for some prop or color ideas, please check out my Newborn Gallery. For Alex’s session, I used outfits, hats and props from some of my favorite newborn prop vendors: No. 2 Willow Lane, Little Bean Creations, Roses and Ruffles, Red Owl Photo Props and Pooks and Lulu.

I hope you enjoyed this little peek into Alex’s newborn session. Get in touch with me for booking information and availability! Please don’t hesitate in booking your newborn session – it is never too early to book. Get in touch with me through the contact tab.

🤍 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.
