Hi There! Thank you so much for visiting Melissa Hartigan Photography – CT Family Photographer. I’m so glad you’re here to read my recent blog post, browse around the blog and check out my website. I am a professional family photographer with a beautiful studio in Coventry, CT dedicated to newborn photography, maternity photography and baby milestone photography. I photograph my family photography sessions for families all throughout Connecticut. Not only do I absolutely love taking photos but I also adore being a part of these special moments in my client’s lives. I hope you enjoy this blog post of this darling family from Tolland County Connecticut. Here is a little peek into this family’s photography session.
Fun Outdoor Family Photography – Ellington CT Family Photography
Meet Mary, Jared, Milo and Beckett and fur friend Bentley. Having photographed their family numerous times from newborn and milestone to family sessions over the years and seeing their family grow, they connected with me to capture more family memories this year. Booking their family session at the beginning of 2025, they know they wanted more family memories captured for in the summer and scheduled the All-Inclusive Family Session. We decided on a scenic park location and had some fun and laughs capturing their family.




As a family, they all love movie nights together, building forts and magnatiles, and doing crafts. Both boys love soccer, any kid of building toys, super heroes, wrestling with each other, basketball, reading books like Harry Potter, Dragon Masters, Investigators. They are such a sweet, very kind hearted family and so great to photograph. I’m so honoured that I’ve captured all their families memories for them over these years, and even more so watched their family grow.




Connecticut Family Photographer
A family session is the perfect way to capture the growth in a family and update those annual family pictures. There are so many beautiful locations around Connecticut that offer beautiful backdrops for outdoor family sessions, and even maternity sessions. I offer family sessions seasonally throughout the year and begin scheduling these sessions at the beginning of April every year. Since they tend to fill up quickly, I always recommend that if you are wanting to schedule your family session and capture some fun to book your session as soon as possible. Connect with me and lets plan your family’s fun, photo memories!



About Melissa Hartigan Photography
When you book a session with Melissa Hartigan Photography, whether it be a family session, maternity and newborn sessions, a baby milestone session or your senior’s portraits before they graduate, I give you MY ALL, before, during and long after your session has come and gone. I am NOT the photographer that starts a stop watch at the beginning of your session. I am NOT the photographer that will ever rush. I am NOT the photographer that will give up when I know how important a certain capture is to a client.
I AM the photographer that wants to capture your newborn, child, senior teenager or family as they are the day of your session. I love my job. Capturing moments and freezing memories in time to cherish always. It truly makes my heart full and so happy. I hope when anyone looks at an image I have taken they see and know this.
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 photographer. 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 annual family photographs.
