Summer Family Photos in Oconee County, GA

Summer family photos in wooded pathway near Athens, GA

This beautiful family came to me for their summer family photos, but mainly to document their youngest daughter’s first birthday. We used the wooded pathway in my outdoor studio in Oconee County, which always leads to naturally stunning images. We started with family portraits and a few of big sister before concentrating on the Southern birthday gal.

Since the one year old is on the go, and mom wanted some of the birthday girl with balloons, I brought out a chair to attach the balloons and to keep this lil’ princess in one place. Worked out perfectly. Great place to capture images of mom with her daughters as well as the one year old for her festive birthday portraits. I coordinated the balloons to their outfits, which I had worked with mom ahead of time to make sure everything worked together. Makes such a big difference to style sessions for the best finished photographic artwork.

The birthday girl is such a sweetheart! Her personality is very easy going, fun and loving. Love all her expressions and those curls that are much like her sister’s. Could not get enough of her!

Love this area of the historic district of Jekyll Island. Pretty walkways, roads, buildings, trees and scenery. It is like taking a step back in time in many ways. I have been photographing my daughter in this exact location for the last few summers and it never disappoints.

There is something about the ocean in black and white that feels both quiet and dramatic.

In this image from Jekyll Island, the clouds along the horizon almost become their own landscape, while the waves rolling onto shore add movement, texture and depth. A simple beach scene, but one that feels timeless.

What a beautiful way to spend part of summer break - studying, writing papers and taking quizzes while tucked away on Jekyll Island. Not a bad “classroom” at all.

She is heading into her sophomore year at GCSU, and this portrait felt like the perfect way to mark the season - relaxed, confident and surrounded by the timeless beauty of Jekyll Island’s historic district, with live oaks and Spanish moss framing the moment.

Had the best time photographing this beautiful girl on Jekyll Island this past week. 

Her mom dreamed of soft clouds, magical color, gentle ocean waves and a calm evening without too much wind - and Jekyll delivered.

It was the sweetest way to begin the week and such a special reminder that preteen portraits deserve to feel just as meaningful, beautiful and timeless.
