Cassandra & Baby Malayah Maternity & Newborn Photos – CT Maternity Newborn Photographer

Hi There! Thank you for visiting Melissa Hartigan Photography – CT Maternity Newborn Photographer, and browsing around my recent blog post of Cassandra’s beautiful maternity photos and of their sweet baby girl Malayah’s newborn session. For those who are visiting for the first time, welcome. I’m a CT Maternity Newborn Photographer with a professional photography studio located in Coventry, CT. I specialize in maternity, newborn, baby milestone, children and family photography. Expecting a baby is such an exciting time in your life, and documenting your pregnancy and newborn moments is such a wonderful way to celebrate bringing your baby into the world. Maternity and Newborn photography is among my favorite of sessions to photograph. I love to capture special events in people’s lives and give them heirloom quality photographs they can cherish forever of their pregnancy, new baby and as a family. When a client schedules their maternity and newborn sessions with MHP, I am documenting their beautiful moments as new parents. I am so happy to be a part of these memorable maternity and newborn moments for this new family of three.  Here is a little peek into Cassandra’s Maternity Session and Malayah’s Newborn Session captured in my studio.

Cassandra & Baby Malayah Maternity & Newborn Photos – CT Maternity Newborn Photographer

Cassandra and Oral are one of the many excited couples that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting over the years that I’ve specialized in pregnancy photography. They reserved their baby’s newborn session with the Treasured Newborn Session and captured their pregnancy with their baby girl with the Heirloom Maternity Session.

Cassandra wanted the setting for her maternity photos to be a studio maternity session. We used a combination of gowns, tutus, maternity tops and bottoms to style her session with. Cassandra was glowing during her session and she really looked stunning in all the maternity outfits we wore. The very essence of an expectant mama-to-be was captured on her during her maternity session. Pregnancy looked absolutely amazing on her.

Not only did we use different hand painted canvas backdrops to give her maternity portraits an extra glamour effect, but we used several lighting techniques to create beautiful timeless maternity portraits. These are the images that mom will look back on years from now and still love them just as much as the day we photographed them. She will remember her pregnancy and how stunning she looked.

Baby Malayah’s Treasured Newborn Session – Newborn Maternity Newborn Photographer CT

When sweet little Malayah came to my studio for her newborn session, I was in awe of how much hair she had. She had so much gorgeous locks that I knew I had to accentuate it with some oh-so pretty baby girl headbands.  Malayah was absolutely PERFECT during her session. She slept so well and never made a peep her entire newborn session. Mom followed my newborn session preparation instructions right down to the very last detail and it truly helped make for a sleepy and successful session. I captured so many darling baby pictures of Malayah. My favorite capture of her is she sweet baby smile. I captured it just at the right time. Truth be told, I actually love catching the sweet, sleepy baby smiles during my sessions. Most times I am lucky enough to capture them. She was such a sweet baby, and she gave me the sweetest smile!

Little Miss Malayah looked so precious with all of the soft and light, purple and pink colors and tones that mom choose for her newborn photos.  I always love the light and muted color tones in newborn photography. I think mom choose well. I think purple and pinks might just be Malayah’s colors!
