I’m so glad you’re here! If you’ve been searching for an Atlanta family photographer and want photos that feel natural, easy, and actually enjoyable then you’re in the right place!
Relaxed lifestyle family sessions in Atlanta for laid-back families
I photograph families in a relaxed, joy-filled way so you get genuine connection, real moments, and images that reflect your family as you are right now. I won’t pose your family in awkward positions that don’t feel like you. And I won’t force you or your kids to smile at the camera or be anything other than yourselves!

Meet Your Atlanta Family Photographer
Hi, I’m Tabitha!
I’m a family photographer and a mom, which means I understand how quickly these seasons change and how fast these kids grow. I’m so passionate about making these experiences meaningful and creating ways to hold onto these moments for just a little bit longer.
I’m based in the Washington, DC area but I travel to Atlanta throughout the year to photograph families, and each time I’m there I open up a limited number of session dates.
I’m drawn to the moments that might feel slightly chaotic but are connected and true to you.
My goal as your photographer is to create a fun space where your family can relax, be yourselves, and actually enjoy your time together!
When you feel comfortable, that’s where the magic happens and where we get those beautiful photos of your family!
What Is Lifestyle Family Photography?
Lifestyle family photography is all about capturing your real life and not a perfectly posed version of it. I move a lot during the sessions in order to capture your family doing your thing, and capturing the little moments of your toddler reaching to be picked up, the silly faces and laughs, the games, and your family being with each other.
These family photo sessions are designed to feel natural and unforced, whether we’re at your home or exploring one of my favorite Atlanta family photo locations.
Some examples of what your family can do during your session can include playing outside together and looking at the flowers, drawing chalk and making art in your driveway, snuggling on the couch reading a book, or just letting your kids be kids.
A Relaxed Approach to Family Photography
As a lifestyle family photographer in Atlanta, I use a simple approach and follow the energy of your family. I’ll guide moments or activities from time to time while using the light in a helpful way. When you’re having a natural moment I’ll step back and allow the moment to unfold.
I won’t ask you to stand still and smile at the camera the whole time. Instead, I’ll gently prompt you into connection and movement so your photos feel like real moments and show engagement and that you’re having fun with each other, because you will!
You don’t need to worry about:
what to do with your hands
whether your kids will cooperate
or getting everything “just right”
Your only job is to show up and be with your family and I’ll take care of the rest!
What to Expect From Your Atlanta Family Photo Session
Every session is a little different based on things such as family dynamics, session location, ages of children, but here’s a loose guide about what you can expect when I’m photographing you. We will start slow so everyone can ease in and get comfortable. We will follow your kids’ energy, and this will help gain their trust. We build in some space for movement and connection. If your child is full of energy, it will be reflected in the photos! If your child prefers to be in your arms and is a little shy, that’s okay too - we will spend your session time capturing those moments of your family naturally. Soon after your session you’ll have a gallery full of natural images that feel like your family.
Best Atlanta Locations for Family Photos
Location plays a big role in the feel of your session. I’ll help you choose a spot that fits your family’s vibe and how you want your photos to look and feel.
Some favorite options for a family photo session include:
Piedmont Park – there is open space, beautiful foliage and texture, and is perfect for movement
Cator Woolford Gardens – the space is small, quiet, and full of greenery
In-home sessions – these are relaxed, personal, and meaningful and take place right at your home
Winn Park - a lovely hidden gem of a park with a beautiful garden and water
Ponce City Market - an urban location filled with color and texture
