Kelley + Cole’s Engagement Session – Ponce City Market | Atlanta Engagement Photographer

Kelley and Cole are getting married next year, and they could not be a cuter couple! We met up at Ponce City Market last month, and we had the best time exploring the property. It’s such a cool place, and I loved getting to check it out… it’s got so many great spots for photos! I hear that the next phase is the rooftop, which sounds really fun. I can’t wait to go back to try their restaurants/food stands and shop some more. Kelley and Cole, thank you for allowing me to photograph your engagement session — it was a blast!

Leslie’s Maternity Session – Peachtree City | Atlanta Maternity Photographer

Leslie and Matt are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their little lady, who they’re naming Olivia. I went down to Peachtree City to shoot their maternity session at their home, which I love to do… seeing how clients have decorated their babies’ nurseries is one of my favorite things! Their 2 German Shepherds were so excited to meet someone new and be included in the photos, too. I can’t wait to meet miss Olivia when she arrives soon!

2016 Updates!

Wow, what an incredible year 2015 has been for Melissa Hayes Photography! I’ve welcomed many new clients and have had the pleasure of working with numerous repeat clients as well. I’m so very thankful for your continued support of my business, and even more so now that I’ve quite my full-time job to be a work-from-home mom. As I enter my 3rd year of business, I’m making some changes to my offerings, and the new package pricing will begin on January 1, 2016.

I will now be including a print credit in all packages to encourage clients to consider purchasing prints to showcase their memories. All too often in this digital age, we just get the digital images from photo sessions and maybe post a few on social media, store them on our computers, and then never pay much attention to them again. I think it’s so much more special to showcase those beautiful images in a gallery wall or on a canvas at home where they can be seen and appreciated every day. I personally also love creating hardcover photo books each year to commemorate our family’s year, as well as special occasions or milestones, like my daughter’s newborn portraits or first year of life. I would love to help you and your family create a beautiful keepsake album from your portrait session so that your photos can be enjoyed daily for years to come!

My goal is to create beautiful images to help you remember a special time in your life for years to come. I look forward to working with you and your loved ones to capture your memories in 2016!

All 2016 packages include:
– one hour, on-location session (newborn sessions are approximately 2 hours)
– unlimited photos taken during session
– online gallery of edited images (chosen at discretion of MHP) | available for download for 2 months
– printing and posting rights
– $15 print credit (can be applied toward hardcover photo book instead if preferred)

Leighton’s 3 Month Milestone Session – Vinings | Atlanta Children’s Photographer

My little model baby Leighton is 3 months old, which is hard to believe! I’d been dying to get some of these Hanna Andersson pajamas, and I couldn’t resist a mini 3 month photo shoot as soon as they arrived in the mail this week. We’re so excited for Christmas with our chubby-cheeked little elf in the house, and I know the holidays will only continue to get better with each coming year. May you all have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year!

Holiday Mini Sessions | Atlanta Family Photographer

November and December… the most wonderful time of the year! Also the busiest for family photographers. 🙂 With a newborn and an abundant amount of photo sessions on my plate this fall, I’m quite behind on blogging. So here’s a little peak at what I’ve been up to… family holiday sessions galore! I’m so grateful for my dear clients who have trusted in me to capture their beautiful families each year. 2015 was an incredible year for Melissa Hayes Photography, and I’ve so enjoyed sharing it with all of you!
