Winter Maternity Session by Destiney Ford Photography

My goal as your maternity photographer is to make you feel like a princess.

With our fine art editing style and our extensive maternity gown collection, we make it possible to look back at your maternity session and think “Wow! What a fairytale!”

However, we have no problem with a more casual look too! You can have the best of both worlds with Destiney Ford Photography.

We recommend scheduling your session between 28-34 weeks pregnant. Bodies vary, but there’s usually a nice round bump for moms between that time frame. If you schedule too far into your pregnancy, you’re more uncomfortable during the session. We also risk you going into early labor or not being able to get you rescheduled if we get rained out the first time.

If you would like to schedule your maternity session, please send us a PM on one of our socials or use the contact form on our website.

5 Reasons to Book a Winter Session // Destiney Ford Photography // Newnan photographer // Carrollton photographer // Atlanta photographer

WINTER SESSIONS?!

When we think about getting pictures made, most of us automatically picture florals or fall foliage. Right? We want warm weather with something blooming and frilly outfits or light sweaters and gorgeous, bold leaves in the background. But what if I told you there are plenty of reasons why you should take advantage of winter sessions.

REASON #1

The golden light! OH-EM-GEE! Since the trees are bare, that beautiful sunlight sets behind the trees and creates this beautiful, warm glow that radiates in every image. This fun tidbit actually brings me to reason number two!

REASON #2

You don’t have to wait until 8-9 PM to get a gorgeous sunset session. How many of you scheduled your family portraits and your photographer put you down for 7:30 PM? We love golden hour and unfortunately that means spring and summer sessions happen much later in the evening. That can be tough if you have little ones when they’re typically in bed at the time of the session’s start time.

REASON #3

Less humidity and heat! That’s right, Dad. You don’t have to worry about sweating through your nice clothes. Ladies, that also means you’re not going to lose the curl in your hair or stress about frizz.

REASON #4

You can layer! Layering clothing and accessories adds more detail to your images. The different textures and the different level dimensions add so much to your image that you don’t even realize! It actually makes your image MORE interesting to look at.

REASON #5

More availability! For some photographers, especially DFP, scheduling during peak seasons can be tricky unless you book in advance. Scheduling during January and February is so much easier since that’s usually when photographers have more downtime.

Senior Portraits at the Fair // Destiney Ford Photography

Dare to be different for your senior portrait session.

Bold. Vibrant. Fun.

Destiney Ford Photography strives to give each senior an amazing session and gorgeous digital images to look back on. If you’re a fan of color, enchanting backgrounds, and a fun experience…we would be honored to work with you!

The Coweta County Fair is amazing every year. Locals come together at the Newnan Fairgrounds to enjoy the rides, eat cotton candy and funnel cakes, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Each year, I offer fair minis for all of my family clients, so I was super excited to photograph this senior session. It’s different and fun and that’s two things DFP works very hard to be.

Be sure to catch us next year for your 2024 senior portrait session. We are still booking 2023 seniors this year for fall portraits so ya’ll stay tuned for those!

Lifestyle Mommy and Me Session ll Downtown Carrollton, GA

Hey guys!

I am so sorry for the lack of blogs lately! I PROMISE I am going to make these more frequently. I’m starting 2020 out with one of my favorite Mommy & Me sessions to date. These girls ROCKED their session. Take a look.

So

Cute!!

Mom hugs are the best.

These images were taken downtown in the small city of Carrollton, Georgia. Carrollton is located just southwest of Atlanta. There is just something so mesmerizing about downtown. I don’t know if it’s the southern charm or the modern-chic vibe the square gives, but I am absolutely captivated by this background.

I love the building that is showcased in the image above. It’s GORGEOUS! But that’s not the only thing making this image pop. The sweet interaction between family members is what I LIVE for! Sure, we’ll get those posed shots out of the way but I want you to engage with your loved ones. There is nothing sweeter than looking back at a picture that displays your admiration.

Also, take a look at their wardrobe choices. I cannot stress wardrobe enough. My editing style looks best with dressier attire. I highly recommend dressy or dressy-casual for a session with Destiney Ford Photography. If you wouldn’t consider it your Sunday best, I wouldn’t recommend that outfit for your session. Hoodies, sneakers, sunglasses, baseball caps, blue jeans are all on my “avoid” list.

Another key to outfit choices — Coordinate but don’t be too “matchy”. Take a look at mom and daughter up there. Mom is wearing a beautiful tea;-green dress with an orange floral print. She has baby girl dressed in an orange corduroy dress. The daughter’s dress compliment’s mom’s dress. Having the different textures also makes your images look more interesting. I always recommend multiple textures - lace, corduroy, cotton, etc . Then layer that textured outfit in a different material - jacket, scarf, etc. Accessories are just as important as your outfit. They add more detail to your images.
