My husband, Carl, and I are excited to announce to the world that we are expecting our first baby this summer! I am due in mid July and am finally starting to look the part with my growing belly. And, here it is…… 🙂
Since so many people ask….. we do not intend to find out the sex. It will be an extra surprise for us come “birth day”. I am so excited to meet this little boy or girl swimming around inside of me. I have never felt so…. important before. Suddenly everything that I do seems so much more meaningful. I am truly amazed.
I have to thank you, all of my many family, friends and clients (see friends) that have inspired me over the years. With you, I have experienced love, engagements, marriages, pregnancies, newborn babies, large families, small families, joy and even tragedies. I have learned and continue to learn so much from all of you. I plan to take those experiences with me through my journey into motherhood and thank you sincerely for all of your inspiration and guidance.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU & MELISSA HASSEY PHOTOGRAPHY
Please know that I do plan to continue to work and photograph well into my third trimester… until this baby doesn’t let me anymore! I also do intend to take some time off from portrait photography after the baby is born. The exact timeline of that is to be determined. At this point, I do not plan to be photographing Holiday or Fall Portrait Sessions. I am certainly bummed about this and sorry to miss out on seeing so many of you!! Please know that you could instead schedule a Spring portrait session and use those portraits as your holiday cards and gifts! People love to see warm weather photographs during the chilly holiday season! 🙂
So…. yes, NOW is a great time to book a portrait session! I feel wonderful and there is plenty of time before July to get all of your orders in, etc… I will be in touch with upcoming Mini Session dates as well! If you have any location ideas for those, feel free to send me a message or leave feedback below.
Also, don’t forget to follow me on Facebook for more updates and information. I’d love to connect with you there!
