Portraits

Shutter Sweet Photography offers professional portrait photography to the Atlanta and surrounding areas, and are happy to travel as well! Our photographer’s goal when taking your portrait is to capture the natural emotion, a natural expression, a natural moment in life. The exception is professional head shots or model shots where pictures may be more “posed” – however, we still don’t want awkward faces or positions. We love taking pictures and want you to enjoy getting your picture taken too. We’ll do our best to keep the session fun so don’t worry, be happy, and enjoy yourself!
Newborn, Children, Family & Pet Portraits
Getting ready for pictures can be stressful. If you’re running late, the baby won’t stop crying, the kids won’t put on their outfits, your hair is doing something crazy, or whatever is not going to plan, don’t let it get you down or upset. If you come to the shoot stressed out or angry, it’s harder to enjoy yourself and get natural smiles and joyful moments. We like to capture you interacting with each other so try to stay light-hearted before the shoot so you can relax and have fun while getting your picture taken. We want your session to be a good memory in itself – not a studio torture chamber. We don’t need perfection to get great shots so let us worry about the details. Shutter Sweet Photography takes portraits of any kind – large families, just the kids, siblings, newborn, baby photos, pet pictures and more. We shoot on-location and like to go somewhere that has meaning to your family. Your pictures will be featured in an online gallery with the option to order prints, canvas wraps, and more. Please contact us for details.
Professional Head Shots
Whether you need a professional headshot taken for your acting or model portfolio or you simply need a headshot for your business profile, Shutter Sweet Photography can help! We will give you direction with what to wear (it’s nice to bring several styles and colors to get different looks) and will give you direction with “looks” and finding a natural pose. It’s our goal to make you look your best, so get your rest, come with your hair and make-up done (if applicable), and we’ll take it from there! The end result will be an image that sells your look and creates a stunning first impression.
Special Needs
Shutter Sweet Photography has a special place in our hearts for those with special needs. If you have a child or family member with special needs, we’re more than willing to work with you and will make sure we understand the situation completely before we bring out the camera. Please let us know how we can help you get the best images of your loved one – it would be a privilege and we hope to hear from you soon.
