Winter Family Portraits | Oconee County, GA

Fall family portraits in a field in Athens, GA. Winter family portraits in a field near Athens, GA.

I have photographed the kiddos of this family many times in the past, but these Winter family portraits marked the first occasion that I had the opportunity to photograph the entire family together! Such a treat for me. They live in my neighborhood and moved in around the same time we did, so it was only natural that we would become friends. I am so blessed to have them in my life. Their son is the same age as my daughter and are in the same homeroom in school. Their daughters get a lot of hand-me-down clothes and toys from our lil’ girl as she outgrows them. Mom and I are workout buddies and share a special bond through our friendship. Dad shares a passion for the outdoors and yard/home care with my husband. Super sweet family who have shown their Southern hospitality over and over while teaching us a few things about true Southern living.  (Seriously….how would I have known how to eat boiled peanuts or that you can bury fresh grape juice to make wine?!)

Such an honor to photograph this family of five! Their youngest girl has a ton of energy and loves to RUN. Boy is she fast too!!!! Her siblings adore her and did a great job wrangling her back to the group when needed. Oldest girl loves getting her picture taken and was quite the poser. She also wanted to play the same games her brother played with her dad, which I was more than happy to oblige! Mom has such a peaceful way of interacting with her children and is so loving with everyone in her family. Dad is super thoughtful, caring and playful. All great things to capture through my camera! Love the connections between these family members and their individual personalities. They are truly blessed to have each other!

Some bonds deserve to be remembered forever. 

When planning portrait sessions, I always encourage families to include the animals that hold such a special place in their hearts. They are part of your story too. 

This sweet girl adores her beloved horse and says he is “the most gentle, loving horse” she has ever known. Watching the two of them together was pure magic. The quiet connection, trust, and love between them is something worth documenting and cherishing for generations.

A quiet field, wildflowers in bloom, and that golden hour glow…the perfect setting to document this once-in-a-lifetime season before she headed to UGA.

These are the moments you’ll always want to remember.

Such an honor photographing this sweet girl for her sitting milestone session this morning. A true dream baby—full of smiles and the softest little coos.

We captured moments in the studio and then stepped outside into this beautiful spring light. This bassinet felt perfectly fitting for both her milestone and the season.

These first-year milestones pass in a blink… but they are the moments you’ll treasure forever.

“Lala Land” 

What started as a few messages between strangers turned into something so much more. Two sisters, two new friends… and a leap of faith that became a home.

Now, they’re not just roommates - they’re chosen family. A place filled with laughter, support, comfort, and the kind of connection that defines a freshman year.

The sweetest beginning to friendships that will last a lifetime.

When I asked this little girl where her favorite spots are on her home property, she mentioned the peonies out front. They were in full bloom and her little hands couldn’t resist them as she showed me some of her most beloved flowers. 

At sessions, I  always encourage incorporating the things your children love most into your portraits. These details may feel small now, but they become part of their story - their season, their wonder, their childhood. The result? Images that feel personal, meaningful, and timeless.
