Atlanta Lifestyle Photographer
Atlanta lifestyle photographer capturing real family moments, warm, a little wild, totally you. See why documentary sessions make photos you’ll actually feel.
A peek inside one session
We started on a regular Saturday, with little bare feet and messy hair. I photographed their weekend morning routine, the race to the backyard, and the mid-morning pillow fight that turned into a cuddle. No stage, no scripts, just the rhythm of a family being themselves. The gallery felt like the day: warm, a little wild, and completely them.
Why this approach works
You remember how it felt. Photographs made in your real spaces carry the sounds, light, and textures of your life.
Kids relax. Play first, camera second, the best authentic expressions show up when no one’s performing.
Parents show up too. You’re in the pictures, proof of how loved and present you are.
It ages well. Trends fade; honest connection doesn’t.
Story depth. A sequence of moments tells a truer story than one “perfect” smile.
If you’re searching for an Atlanta lifestyle photographer who documents what’s real, you’ve found her!
What to expect (simple flow)
Arrival – Quick hello, kids give me the house tour.
Settle in – Keep doing whatever you’d normally do, breakfast, Legos, bubbles outside. I photograph as it unfolds.
Movement – Backyard, a walk, or baking, something that your family naturally loves.
Quiet – Books, nap wind-down, snuggles.
Wrap up – Hugs, high-fives. You keep living and I start culling and editing!
Half-day sessions deepen the story, including more of the day, like errands, sports, grandparents dropping by, and golden-hour play time.
Is a family lifestyle documentary session right for us?
This type of session is unique, and while I believe every family should have one at least once while the kiddos are little, I understand it’s not everyone’s style. This type of session is for those families looking to preserve daily life memories, vs get the perfect Christmas card photo.
Choose this session if you’re looking for …
Images that look and feel like your life
Zero pressure on kids to “behave” for the camera
To be present in the photos (not behind the phone)
Artwork that becomes part of your family history
Quick answers for common questions I get as an Atlanta lifestyle photographer
- What if our house is messy? Welcome to real life. I work around clutter and use light + smart angles.
- What do we wear? Comfortable neutrals with a little texture, skip matchy-matchy. Bare feet welcome!
- Do you pose us? I guide lightly if needed, but I’m mostly observing.
- Where do we shoot? Home, a favorite spot, or both, wherever your memories are being made!
How to prep in 10 minutes!
- Open curtains for natural light.
- Tidy one lived-in spot (counter or coffee table), not the whole house!
- Plan one simple activity: pancakes, sidewalk chalk, sprinklers.
- Have snacks + a playlist ready. That’s it, I’ll take it from here 🙂
Let’s frame the days you’ll miss most
These days are brief! The sticky hands, the lopsided pigtails, the way they still reach for you, it’ll all be the past before you know it. Let’s press pause while it’s all here. I’ll handle the plan, you bring your people. As an Atlanta lifestyle photographer, I make honest, heart-first photographs that feel like home now, and when the house is quieter.
