Frequently Asked Questions — South Atlanta Photography

What can I expect during the photoshoot?

You can expect a professional, comfortable experience tailored to your needs. With over 20 years of experience… rare in Peachtree City and Fayette County… South Atlanta Photography creates a relaxed, collaborative environment where clients feel at ease. Whether you’re booking a family portrait, senior session, or professional headshot, the session is designed to be both enjoyable and results-driven, ensuring you walk away with images you’ll be proud to share.

Can you describe the style or approach you typically use?

Every shoot is unique; nothing is cookie-cutter. My work maintains a consistent, high-quality aesthetic while adapting to your personal style, session goals, or the clients specific art direction. From timeless, elegant portraits to modern, editorial looks, I draw on decades of commercial photography experience to produce images that truly represent you or your brand. Each procject is approached with intentionality, creativity, and technical precision.

What specific moments or details will you focus on capturing?

We focus on a balance of intentional, well-composed portraits and authentic, candid moments. Whether it’s a professional headshot in South Atlanta or a multi-generational family portrait in Fayette County, we highlight:

• Genuine expressions and emotional connections

• Details that tell your unique story

• Lighting, posing, and composition that flatter and inspire confidence

How will I receive the final photos, and in what format?

This depends on your package or project:

• Headshots are typically delivered as high-resolution digital files, perfectly sized for both web and print usage.

• Family Portraits & Personal Sessions → While digital files are available, I encourage professional prints. Tangible photographs displayed daily in your home offer a connection that digital-only delivery simply can’t match. This approach ensures your memories are visible, lasting, and personal, not hidden away on a hard drive or your social media feed.

What should I know about your process before, during, and after the shoot?

• Before → We’ll discuss your vision, style preferences, and session / project goals. Through our discussions and transparency, we will also make sure we’re the right fit for your needs. Photography is personal, and alignment matters.

• During → We work from a well-prepared plan, using our expertise to keep things running smoothly while allowing room for natural, spontaneous moments.

• After → You’ll receive clear communication about editing and delivery timelines, with final images delivered in a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on your project, or session type.

How can I communicate with you if I have questions or updates?

You can reach South Atlanta Photography by email or phone, and we will respond to most messages within 24–48 hours. My clients never have to wonder about the status of their images — clear, consistent communication is part of the experience.

What should I do to prepare for the session?

There are so many nuances to every shoot, but here are some examples of what you might do to prepare for some of our most requested shoots.

Headshots

• Schedule haircuts or blowouts ahead of time.

• Wear clothing that fits well and reflects your professional image.

• Prioritize sleep in the days leading up to your shoot.

Family Sessions

• Coordinate outfits (This does not say matching) in neutral or light colors to keep focus on faces.
