I had the privilege of working with this natural beauty last night at one of my favorite sunset locations. Emma will be graduating from Roswell High this spring. As you might appreciate, I am particularly partial to those Hornets and she made my job so incredibly fun with her ease in front of the camera.💚🖤

If you are interested in a Senior session, please reach out to book at 404-317-5711. Spots are limited and fall craziness is about to ensue!

A little preview from my recent session at Barrington Hall at 7:15am. I realize that the early morning is not for all, but it is especially soft and beautiful. Intend to book a session for the holidays or a Senior session? Consider doing them now. It is truly the calm before the storm, where we have space and emptiness when we shoot.

Headshots for this exquisite lady! Kelly is a seasoned Human Resource Consultant who specializes in providing tailored solutions to small and medium-sized domestic and international organizations. Check out her company; River Place Consulting.

Kelly took advantage of my $150 LinkedIn Special that we ended up doing at my house due to the excessive heat. She was in & out in no time with an updated LinkedIn image.

Recent 6-Month Milestone Session with these adorable cuties! Also a reminder that even though it is barely August, I am starting to book for the fall. Please reach out (text @404-317-5711) if you would like a spot. For Santa sessions, please scroll further down for the link.

I know this is early, but people are already asking so here we go... SANTA SESSIONS for 2023!

We had so much fun last year with these at our home. It's a cozy, safe, peaceful (?maybe?) experience that includes Mrs. Clause to help facilitate the experience and helpful elves, who continuously make freshly baked cookies and have hot chocolate ready for our guests who stayed warm by our fireplace. We aim for a truly warm and hospitable experience...

Thank you Voyage ATL for featuring my story. If anyone wants a little insight into who I am, what photography means to me and how I started my journey ...here you go!

Life & Work with Karen Studley - Voyage ATL Magazine | ATL City Guide Today we’d like to introduce you to Karen Studley. Karen Studley Hi Karen, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself. Eighteen years ago, after a cross-country move to Georgia from Arizona, I had to quit my corporate work in Leadership Development Training and re-acclimate to a new life...

Large family session from a few weeks ago... While the weather wasn't the best, it still didn't deter us. How can you go wrong with this attractive crew?!

One of the sweetest phases are the 6- month, baby milestones! Just look at this adorable little thing. I could just eat her up!

Newborn session in an hour! Phew- but we did it. Captured this beautiful family a few weeks ago in celebration of the birth of the daughter. Newborn sessions are notoriously long and expensive, but if you are willing to limit your time and be flexible in the end result, it is possible to make it work.

Review of a recent early morning mini session. Have kids that wake up at the crack of dawn? Take advantage of that and book a session at 7:15am. The light is exquisite, parks are empty and the temperatures are cooler.

To book, please text me at 404-317-5711.

Possibly, one of the coolest Senior sessions to date! But what is even more significant is that I took this guy's newborn pictures. 😍 (We are both trying to dig some up.) It has been 18 years! Such a privilege to document these milestones and gives my work so much more meaning.

Introducing Mack; Mount Paran Christian School, Class of 2024. Accomplished guitarist, violinist and future pilot.

I have been uploading a ton of Senior sessions lately, which is easy to do when you are in the midst of your own daughter graduating and heading off to college. But my bread and butter also comes from working with amazing families such as this one. I so enjoyed their very natural and candid interactions with each-other, which is totally my photography style.

My first Senior from the Class of 2024; Charlie, who attends Milton High School! I am totally impressed that he was willing to meet me by 7:20am this morning. I know my teens would have revolted! But so grateful that we could enjoy the empty Mill and beautiful sunrise light. Isn’t he handsome?

It’s always helpful to knock these Senior pictures out soon. It’s not mandatory, but you will find that you have so many moving parts during the Senior year, you’ll be glad you did this task now.

Class of 2024: it is your turn for Senior pictures!

Reach out to hold a spot. We offer a short 15/20 minutes sessions to 90-minute sessions. Let’s chat and figure out that is best for you! Better yet, grab a few friends and do them together.

Text me at (404) 317-5711 for more info…

I did a back-to back Cap & Gown session last night. Two ends of a spectrum and equally fun to work with.

I was flattered to be asked to do headshots for the fabulous Stephanie Q Durham Photography the other day! I’m not sure, a bad picture is to be had of this beautiful lady.

Wilson; RHS Class of 2023 and proudly heading to Georgia Tech in the fall!

It is time to spoil Mom with a photo shoot for Mother's Day!

We complain to you and get stressed out when it is time for pictures, but there is still nothing we love more than an awesome picture of us with our family. Interested in Muddy Faces Photography capturing your family? Use the link below to book:

My own daughter in her cap & gown! (RHS, Class of 2023!)

Booking quick 15- minute sessions to capture this milestone. If interested, please text me at 404-317-5711.

Completed this milestone for my own Senior and her friends! It takes on so much meaning doing these on the home turf and with long time friends. Time is flying by...

Interested in a shoot like this for your Senior & her friends? Please text me at 404-317-5711 for more info.

Beautiful Noel!

Need some headshots?

The $150 LinkedIn Special is a basic intro package for updating your LinkedIn profile. Do you need branding pictures or a more generous inventory of images for your social media? Or does your team need updated website headshots? Contact me for pricing. I offer natural, more candid style headshots.

A few days ago, I enjoyed a Senior session for this handsome guy from Riverwood International Charter School, Class of 2023! Sully will be heading to Georgia Southern to major in Mechanical Engineering.

If you have a senior from the Class of 2023 and still need some pictures for your graduation announcement, reach out asap. I can surely figure out a way to make it happen on time. Just text me at 404-317-5711.

Graduation announcements arrived for my own senior! Yikes!

Just a reminder that I am booking for the Class of 2024! I offer a variety of different packages so please reach out to me at 404-317-5711 with any questions and to hold a spot.

Here is a capture from a few years ago of the beautiful and talented fellow photographer, Jennifer Werner McCarren, from Freckled Flower Photography. On rare occasions, she finds herself on the other side of the camera and is equally stunning!

Headshots and branding ssessions do not need to be in a boring location. Pick a suitable backdrop to make a statement and that represents who you are. Just like Jennifer!

This stunning young lady is also part of the RHS Class of 2023!

Catherine is a member of the National Honor Society and was chosen for Leadership 2020 at the high school. In her free time, she participates in the National Charity League, which is a mother-daughter service league that you do in your community. She also loves to work out and is a regular at OrangeTheory. Amidst all these activities, Catherine also spent the last four years working at Primrose daycare. She is still undecided on where she will attend college.

It is starting to warm up and I am now booking for the Class of 2024! Text me at 404-317-5711 for more info.

Highlighting this gorgeous young lady, Reghan- RHS Class of 2023. She will be Clemson bound for the fall.

Now booking for the Class of 2024. Please text me at 404-317-5711 to book.

Happy Valentine's Day.. a little collage, courtesy of some of my dear clients & friends. I appreciate you!

I am trying something new this year: the use of mood boards to convey the style that I am going for, for a particular shoot. I want to preface that these images came from Pinterest and I cannot take credit for the pictures taken (except some you might recognize.)

So for my first mood board inspired shoot, I am offering this BOHO vibe. If this style appeals to you for pictures, please keep an eye open for the link to book (or contact me directly at 404-317-5711). I will be offering mini & full sessions in March and April at a local park in the Roswell area that has this beautiful sunset light. These sessions are geared for families or perfect if you need some updated natural images of the kids.

I am hopeful we can collaborate on suitable attire, incorporate some tasteful accessories and generally capture very natural, earthy images edited to this similar style. Looking forward to trying something new!
