• WELCOME!

    An innocent smile, a newborn baby's sleeping face, a family's love for one another, your two year old's fascination with the world around him, a Golden anniversary. These are the moments we capture for our clients in unique and personal portraits. Moments that will slip away too quickly if you let them, your family's history moments from birth to adulthood. For over 25 years our boutique studio has been photographing in the North Georgia area with personalized customer service and high quality products that our clients are proud to display in their homes. It is such a humbling honor to be trusted with these memories and it is our goal to always deliver the best possible photography that will give our clients a lifetime of happy memories. In the words of William A. Foster; " Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives."

Photographing Photographers

Looks kind of wrong doesn't it?  Did he mean photographers photographing?  No you read it right.  It's one of those awkward things being asked to photograph another photographer.  You feel kind of like you are being critiqued or judged as you are working.  They can also be high pressure sessions because  you want to be […]
