Now Booking Fall 2020 Mini Sessions | Atlanta Family Photographer

 
It’s hard to believe, but it’s already time to start thinking about your family’s fall photo session! I am offering a selection of dates and locations to cater to my clients in and around the Atlanta area. Each of these spots will offer beautiful backdrops for your family’s holiday portraits. I’m trying to plan ahead for any possible bumps in the road later this fall due to COVID-19, so I’m bumping up all mini session dates this year. I plan to follow recommended safety guidelines during sessions and will send more details prior to your session. I look forward to seeing my client families again — I’ve missed you more than you know!
Who are Fall Mini Sessions good for? 
Mini Sessions are meant to be quick and easy! If you just want to get a few great photos for your annual holiday cards, a Mini Session will be perfect for you. I am also offering full one-hour Family Sessions throughout the fall, but availability will be limited this year. If you want a more personalized session for you and your family with a variety of poses or feel that a full hour will be needed to give your little ones time to run and play and just be their silly selves in between (and during) photos, then this is what you’ll need. See the PRICING page for more information on regular family sessions.

I can’t say THANK YOU enough for continuing to support my business year after year! You make this work a joy and a true dream come true, and it’s my absolute honor to capture your memories. Can’t wait to see you this fall!

Fall Mini Session Highlights, Round 1 | Atlanta Family Photographer

I sort of wondered how this past fall would go with having added two new babies to our family earlier in the year… and it was busy, to say the least! I’m so thankful to have had the best fall season of my business thus far. I felt like I got to connect with so many of my favorite client families, met many new ones, and I still somehow managed to make time for my family and not feel like I was constantly running from place to place shooting and then editing till all hours of the night. It was exhausting, but it was well worth it. I didn’t have any extra time for blogging or sharing much about my sessions in the midst of it all, so I’m going to share some top favorites from each set of mini sessions that I did around the city. This spot is at the back of a popular park near us, and you’d never know there’s a big playground and walking paths just steps from where we shot. It was early fall, so there was still plenty of lush greenery in the background. Enjoy!

 

Harlee is One! | Atlanta Family Photographer

Harlee Rae is one! This precious little red head has been all smiles each time I’ve seen her for sessions, and I think that says a lot about her personality. It was quite chilly on the day of her one year session, and we didn’t hear a peep out of her other than happy coos and giggles at her grandparents, who were in town visiting for her first birthday party. Anna always has the girls dressed in the cutest coordinating outfits, and I just could not get over their little knee socks! Big sister Sadie is turning 5 soon, so we had to make sure to get a few with her in the spotlight as well. 🙂 We got so many toothy grins and adorable tongue-sticking-out shots of the birthday girl, and I love how these turned out.

Melissa’s Materinty Leave

It’s almost time! If you’re one of my amazing clients or have been following MHP online, you’re probably well aware that the Hayes Twins are coming soon! It sort of feels like forever ago that we found out this crazy, surprising, exciting news in October, but it also feels like just yesterday. I mean, how in the world are we about to add TWO babies to our family?! We’ve been a bit busy around here with preparing for these new additions… all while in the midst of selling our home and moving into a new one that we’re really looking forward to raising our family in.

In anticipation of their arrival, I began my maternity leave on March 1 and plan to be off through May 31, 2019 as of now. I wanted to share a few details of what that means for MHP clients and what you can expect over the next few months as we take a break to grow our little family.

  • Email communication will still be available, however my response time will be longer than usual.
  • If you need to place print orders, you may do so any time via your active online gallery. Otherwise, if you need to order prints directly through me, please contact me prior to April to ensure a timely turnaround on orders.
  • I’m currently booking sessions for June and beyond, so please reach out if you want to book a maternity, newborn, or family session to take place once I’m back from maternity leave.
  • Fall Sessions will be announced in July, so stay tuned! The number of sessions I’ll have available will be smaller this year due to having two small babies at home, but there will be a handful of mini session dates as well as full session options. Clients will receive first dibs on mini sessions via email, so be sure you’re subscribed to the MHP newsletter!

I want to give a heartfelt thank you to all of my clients and supporters of MHP who have been so gracious and encouraging during this time for our family! I look forward to sharing our life with twins (and a toddler) once “Cake & Ice Cream” are here!
