Melissa Hartigan Photography | CT Newborn Photographer East Hartford | Alexander Newborn Session

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 Newborn Photographer with a studio in Coventry, CT. I love to capture special memories in people’s lives and give them beautiful photographs they can cherish forever. I am so happy to be a part of these families special time and truly hope you enjoy this recent post. Here is a little peek into my recent CT Newborn Photographer East Hartford Session with little Alexander.

CT Newborn Photographer East Hartford Session – Alexander

Mom Tanya contacted Melissa Hartigan Photography last June to do a Maternity Session.  We were able to do a beautiful photo shoot, and then she scheduled me to do thier little one’s Fresh48 and Newborn Sessions after he was born. I was honored that they choose me to be their CT Newborn Photographer to capture these special moments in their lives. 

Little Alexander was born in August. He had the most beautiful, full head of dark hair. Alexander also had the cutest little birth mark that his parents say we say was an angels kiss from his Grandpa who passed away right before Alexander was born. He made the most perfect, little expressions when he was being posed.   I loved him in the froggy pose. For other posing ideas, check out my Pinterest Page.  I always love getting a family photo, and Alexander looked so happy and content in the arms of his mom and Dad Miguel. I absolutely love being a CT Newborn Photographer and love that families choose me to capture these special moments in their lives.

Parents chose Blue, Cream and Teal.

Little Alexander’s parents chose the colors blue, cream and teal for his Newborn Session.  Those colors looked great with his dark hair. I also loved all the little knit hats that he wore.  The props I hand selected worked perfectly for him. He looked especially cute sleeping on the metal bucket with the blue blanket and hat.  Also throughout the session I used several pants 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 because I have it all covered. Clients just need to tell me the 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 Alexander’s session, I used outfits, hats and props from No. 2 Willow Lane, Little Bean Creations, Roses and RufflesRed Owl Photo Props 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.
