Barefoot Twins’ 1 Year Milestone Session – Smyrna | Atlanta Family Photographer

Children, Families, , , , ,

It’s not often that I get to photograph twins, and I’ve so enjoyed seeing how much Abby and Austin have grown since their newborn session last November. They have so much personality now, and they were just as sweet and cute as can be at their 1 year smash cake session! I couldn’t believe how much they enjoyed their cupcakes — especially Austin! We laughed because just minutes before the got to dig in, one of their parents made the comment that Abby would probably be the messy one… and boy, was it quite the opposite! By the time we finished, Austin looked like a blue Smurf. So funny! Here’s to another wonderful year filled with double the laughter, adventure, and joy!

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

Children

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

Children, Couples, Families

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!

Arden/Redmond/Brown Family Holiday Session – Whittier Mill Park | Atlanta Family Photographer

Children, Families

These families are some of my favorites, and their extended family session is one I look forward to each year. They include two of our very dear friends and their kids, as well as her sister’s family and their parents. There are currently 5 kids with another one on the way, and they range in age from 6 years (twins) to 1 year. I adore these cute little cousins and their love for one another, which is pretty evident in these photos. At the end of the session, they got to play on the playground, and I love the shot of Charlotte holding onto her dolly while playing with her older siblings and cousin. She didn’t want to let her out of her sight! What a fun morning. Can’t wait for Redmond baby #3 to join the fun next year!
