Capturing Your Individual Style: A Look at South Atlanta Photography Portrait Photography Services
One Last Thing Before We Get Started…
South Atlanta Photography will only book 20 Senior Sessions for the Class of 2025. You may already be comparing your options and noticing the difference in our product. That difference comes in the form of time and effort devoted to each of these sessions. We have never been interested in shooting the most senior sessions. But rather, we want to shoot the best images and give our clients the best experience possible. Thus, we decided to reduce the amount of volume we shoot, in order to better serve the clients that trust us with their child’s senior session.
Booking Class of 2025 Senior Sessions will open up in May of 2024. With this new limited number of appointments, please don’t wait to start this process. You may schedule your session anytime between now and October, the typical last deadline for yearbook submissions.
Further, we will no longer be accommodating Senior Session requests to shoot in July. It is just too HOT, and no one looks their best sweaty.

Location. Location. Location…
Like the saying goes, it’s all about location. We have scouted and curated a number of great local locations to produce beautiful and exciting Senior Sessions around Fayette County. Most of these locations are included with the purchase of a Senior Session package. All the locations we use offer a variety of background options and ways to utilize or interact with the physical space. They have been chosen based on the way we know the sun moves in the afternoon sky to offer the best lighting options.
In addition, we also offer a handful of Premium Locations that are extremely unique or just off the beaten path. These Premium Locations also include the option to suggest a destination outside of the Metro Atlanta area. If you think it will be a cool or interesting place to shoot, we are happy to entertain your ideas.
We strive to produce unique perspectives for each client and are happy to provide a full list of available locations upon the first scheduled consultation.
We typically schedule our Senior Sessions two hours before sunset. If the sunsets at 7:30, we plan to meet at 5:30.
Shoot Times and Availability
Because we work with the natural light of the sunset, we logistically can only schedule one Senior Session per day.
Friends and Group Discounts
Do you have a best friend or friend group that you want to schedule your photos with? That sounds exciting! Plus, it never hurts to have a hype friend by your side to make the whole experience that much more fun. We are happy to accommodate requests for shared Senior Sessions or group Senior Sessions. Please inquire about details and discounts.
