Connecticut Baby & Child Photography

Babies grow and change in the blink of an eye. It is so important to capture their milestones as they begin. The first milestone to capture after their newborn session would be when they are sitting independently. Others to follow would be their first birthday, and yearly portraits to document these yearly milestones. You may be wondering what truly goes on in a milestone session. What makes these sessions different from your everyday school photos?

Well, sessions may be held in studio or on location. I will assist you in outfit and accessory selections, whether it be headbands or what shoes to wear.  I am happy to give you a few of my favorite children’s shops, and what to look for when shopping for outfits. Feel free to ask, I’m happy to assist however I can.

Once you arrive for the session, I like to take a little time to interact with your children on their level, let them play and become comfortable.  During the session we laugh, play, make silly sounds and faces, just about everything possible to capture your children’s unique expressions and natural smiles.  Depending on the milestone session chosen a milestone session can last anywhere between 20 minutes to an hour from start to finish.

🤍 A little glimpse behind the scenes…

I don’t always have the opportunity to capture the moments behind a senior session, but today I did (thank you 📷 @stellahartigan )—and I’m so grateful I can share a little piece of what goes on behind the camera at Melissa Hartigan Photography. 📸✨

A senior session is about so much more than pretty pictures. It’s about capturing who they are right now—their personality, their confidence, their laughter, and all the little things that make them them.

This season goes by way too quickly. Before you know it, they’re graduating, heading off to their next adventure, and you’re left wishing you could freeze this moment in time. That’s why I love what I do so much. I get to preserve these memories for families to hold onto forever. 🤍

If you have a senior and have been thinking about booking a session, I would absolutely love to capture this special chapter for you. ✨

📸 Reach out today to reserve your senior’s session.
