Athens, GA Child Photographer | Portraits on the Shoals

I had the great honor of photographing this handsome ten year old for his birthday portraits on the shoals of Watson Mill Bridge State Park. As a child photographer based out of Athens, Georgia, I am so blessed with such great scenery and natural landscapes to use as backdrops for portraits. So many options to fit anyone’s personality and style. This particular setting was perfect for this Southern tween boy. He loves the outdoors and feels right at home in the woods and in water.

His mom joined in for a few mother/son portraits too, which is something I always encourage. These two have such a special bond and I am so glad that they will have these images to enjoy now and into the future.

I cannot get over how mature he looks in these photos. I have been photographing this family for three years now and it is amazing to see everyone grow and change over the years. He really enjoyed being in front of the camera and naturally set into comfortable poses. He made my job as a child photographer super easy! It was fun for me and Mr. J exclaimed how fun it was for him after his portrait session. That always makes me happy!

If you haven’t been to Watson Mill Bridge State Park, make sure to check it out! Kids play on the shoals as they serve as natural water slides in the Summer and it is a great place for hiking and camping in the Fall. It is also a favorite place for our family to go canoeing. We always bring our own canoe, but you can rent them there if needed. Great place to bring your horse too! Landscape photos of Watson Mill covered bridge in Georgia.

A little milestone with a whole lot of magic! 

During her first birthday portrait session, this sweet girl stood all on her own for the very first time! What an incredible moment to witness and capture.

It was also the final session in her Baby's First Year Collection, making this milestone even more meaningful. From those tiny newborn days to standing on her own. What a joy it has been to document her first year of life!

What a joy it is to photograph families through the years! I've been photographing this sweet family since their children were just little tots, and it's such an honor to document all the milestones and seasons of life along the way.

We met in a beautiful field on their property in Weldon Spring during my recent St. Louis visit. Their four-legged family members joined in the fun, too! A little patience paid off, and we even managed to get both pups looking at the camera at the same time. Such good dogs!

Feeling so grateful for families who continue to trust me with their memories year after year. 🤍

New puppy alert. Wrigley is the most precious new addition to the sweetest family!!!!! Already a good listener and learning how to sit and stay, which is sooooo hard for any pup who has all the energy in the world and just wants to goooooooooooo! 

Congratulation N family on your four legged family member. Such a fitting dog to round out the family dynamic. 🐾

Sometimes the most meaningful moments happen when we slow down and speak from the heart.

During this session, I asked Dad to tell his son what he was most proud of him for. What followed was this beautiful, tender moment between father and son. No posing. No forced smiles. Just genuine love and connection.

These are the moments I love capturing most. The ones that mean even more as the years go by.
