Hello! Thank-you for visiting Melissa Hartigan Photography and viewing my most recent blog post. For those who are new to my blog, I’m a Connecticut Newborn Photographer with a studio in Coventry, CT.  I feel honored that I get to be a part of a family’s special moments. I truly hope you enjoy this recent post. Here is a little peek into Lucas Newborn Session from Mystic, Connecticut.

Lucas Newborn Session

Mom Fay contacted Melissa Hartigan Photography about three weeks before her due date to do a Newborn Session.  I was honored that Lucas’s parents chose me to be their Connecticut Newborn Photographer to capture this special moment in their lives.  We chatted through email to discuss her vision for her little one’s session.  With each and every session I custom design the setups used based on these discussions.

The family was wonderful to work with and little Lucas was a joy to photograph. He was so snugly and sleepy, and made the cutest expressions.  I was able to capture some beautiful photos as I posed him in different set-ups. Big brother Noah was so excited to do sibling shots with his baby brother, which is always a favorite set-up of mine. Just look how sweetly he smiles when he poses with Lucas.  Noah says his favorite things are playing with cars and his new baby brother…. how cute!  I absolutely love being a Connecticut Newborn photographer, and love that families choose me to capture these amazing memories.

Mom choose Blue and Cream.

Fay choose the colors Blue and Cream for Lucas Newborn Session.  His father Mike is in the Navy, so I think that has some influence on the colors chosen. Lucas looked so handsome in the different shades of blue, especially sleeping in the little blue hat with ears. The props I hand selected worked perfectly for him, and wooden bucket was especially cute for the sibling pose. Also throughout the session I used several hats and wraps.

Melissa Hartigan Photography has an extensive prop collection and a beautiful couture newborn wardrobe. Parents don’t need to worry about props or setups for their baby. I have it all covered. Clients just need to tell me two colors they would like to see used and from there I custom style their newborn session. Check out my Newborn Gallery for some posing and color ideas. For Lucas’s session, I used hats, wraps and props from Roses and Ruffles, Red Owl Photo Pros, Little Bean Creations, and Pooks and Lulu.

🤍 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. 🤍

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.
