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!

Fall Maternity Session by Destiney Ford Photography // Carrollton, GA photographer // Atlanta, GA photography

Autumn

Maternity Sessions

‘nuff said.

But seriously, y’all! This mama SLAYED her session. I pour my soul into every session but this one….this was one of those sessions where I can look at the images over and over again. Everything was perfect. The lighting was gorgeous, the dress worked perfectly with the location, and mama took direction so well!

This gown is available in the client closet!

All maternity clients will have access to DFP’s maternity gowns!

This is one of those gowns that do no have that “WOW!” factor on the hanger. You guys know what I’m talking about. You see something on a hanger and you’re like “eh” and put it back on the rack. However, as soon as this dress is on, it transforms into such a classy and feminine gown. The material is extremely stretchy so every mama that has worn it has raved over how comfortable and pretty they felt in this gown.

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.
