Hi there! Thanks so much for visiting Melissa Hartigan Photography – CT Baby Photographer. I’m so glad you going to stay a while and browse my latest blog post of this sweet baby girl. As a Connecticut Baby and Children’s Photographer, I have the pleasure of meeting families with little ones every day. Not only do I love being a newborn photographer, which is what I specialize in, but I also love photographing little ones of all ages within their first year and beyond. Here is a peek into Eloise’s One Year Cake Smash Milestone.
Eloise One Year Milestone – Amston CT Baby Photography
Hannah and Jordon brought their sweet baby girl Eloise into the studio for her celebratory one-year milestone photoshoot where I captured her in all her adorable little sweetness with the All-Inclusive Milestone Session. As long-time clients of Melissa Hartigan Photography capturing their very first session when mom was pregnant with big brother Hudson to his newborn and one-year sessions, and their baby girl Eloise’s newborn session and now to her one-year milestone.
Eloise is a happy baby, so sweet and full of so many baby expressions and has the sweetest smile. She knows what she likes and does not. She was so adorable getting into her cake from Just A Piece of Cake. We’ve had many sessions together including Santa sessions and now little sister’s one year milestone celebrated with a cake smash. So many beautiful memories captured over the years. They will be coming again this November for another Santa Session.



The Milestone Session Experience with Melissa Hartigan Photography
As a boutique baby photographer in CT, I love offering clients a multitude of color choices for their newborn sessions for wardrobes and other props. Having the option to choose the colors and tones that go best with baby’s bedroom, what colors work in your home, and which colors you love best is a just one piece of the whole baby photoshoot process that parents absolutely love to be a part of; and I am happy to offer that to my clients as part of their custom baby photography session with MHP. Juliet’s milestone session was styled off of purples and creams that mom and dad asked for, and it was the perfect color pairing for a sweet baby girl like her!
My goal is to give my clients beautiful photographs they can cherish forever, and an experience to remember why they chose custom photography with an experienced and professionally trained baby photographer to capture their baby’s milestone photo memories. I would love the opportunity to capture your memories with a maternity session, fresh 48 hospital photos, a studio newborn photography session, your baby’s milestones throughout their first year or your family photographs to update year after year.



Connecticut Milestone Photographer
As a milestone photographer located in Connecticut, I am always adding beautiful new knitted and handmade props to my studio prop collection. Melissa Hartigan Photography clients always have access to these props for their newborn sessions as well as their milestone sessions. You don’t need to worry about bringing anything for your session except yourselves and your happy baby or little one ready to have their picture taken. Props are always pre-selected based off the color choices that you choose prior to your session and custom set-ups are then designed around your color choices. Every session is always pre-planned to capture the most out of our time together and everything is always prepared and ready to begin once you arrive for your milestone session.
It’s always my pleasure provide to props for your baby session from some of the best baby photography prop vendors in the industry. Here are some of my favorites that I used for Eloise’s baby milestone session: No. 2 Willow Lane, Little Bean Creations, Roses and Ruffles, Red Owl Photo Props, Pooks and Lulu, Hello Little Props, Carter’s and Patricia Mueller on Etsy.
See anything you like from within my Baby Portfolio that you would like to include in your upcoming newborn or milestone session that Eloise borrowed and wore from the MHP sitter milestone wardrobe? Get in touch with me, and let me know. Let’s create your little one’s milestone memories.
