Beach Session by Destiney Ford Photography // Panama City Beach, Florida Photographer

When’s the best time to book your beach photographer?

---

The answer? As soon as you book your beach house.

Beach photographers book out MONTHS in advance. In fact, DFP is actually already booking into the summer of 2023. It’s crucial for you guys to book your desired photographer as soon as you know your dates.

Lighting plays a key role in how your images turn out so DFP only schedules sunrise and sunset sessions. That limits our availability for your sessions so the sooner you book, the better.

FAQ for beach sessions

• Which Florida cities do you service?

  A - Any cities within Bay County - Panama City Beach, Mexico Beach, etc.

• How many family members can tag along?

  A - There is not a limit for any of our packages but we do ask that you give us a headcount and a list of ages for any children being photographed. This helps us customize a workflow for your session.

• Do we need to tell you anything specifically for our session?

  A - We like to know how many family members will be attending, the ages of any children being photographed, AND we would like a list of anyone that has any disabilities that may prevent them from being able to walk long distances, hold children, etc. Again, this helps us create a better workflow for your session.

• What do we wear?

  Coordinate in dressy-casual attire. We do not recommend wearing the exact the same thing. When you’re too matchy, your images lose depth and details. It’s best to coordinate colors and patterns rather than wear the exact same attire or color. DFP offers a style guide board once you have scheduled a session with us.

We look forward to another amazing year!

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!

Senior Portrait - Summer Edition // Carrollton GA photographer // Atlanta photographer // Newnan, GA

Senior Portraits

Summer Edition

Senior year is so exciting! It’s your last year in that school and then you’re on your way to the next chapter in your life. My goal for your senior portraits is to showcase “you” in your photos. You don’t have to be a cheerleader, a football player, or on the baseball team to have a customized senior portrait session.

Do you play an instrument? Do you like to skateboard, ride horses, or workout? Do you like to go shopping? Do you live on a farm and LOVE the farm-life? GREAT! We can incorporate any of those things into your session. Senior portraits are about YOU and your interests and personality should shine through your images.

Destiney Ford Photography books senior portraits for high school and college seniors year-round. There are so many gorgeous locations to choose from. Some seniors prefer the cold so we schedule their sessions in December-February. Some like the look of autumn colors so we schedule around October-November. Then there are seniors like Miss Emily that choose spring/summer for the warm weather. Not to mention, you can wear these super cute sundresses and rompers!

Destiney Ford Photography is located in Carrollton, GA but I am always eager to travel! I service all of West GA and frequently travel out of town and state for sessions. A few cities that I service regularly are Carrollton, Newnan, Senoia, Peachtree City, Bremen, LaGrange, and Fayetteville. However, you are most certainly not limited to those city limits!

Giggles are guaranteed

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

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.

Carrollton, Ga Photographer

I am located near Carrollton, GA but I am always eager to travel!

Maternity sessions are my favorite type of sessions to photograph and edit. This is such a precious time in people’s lives and I am so grateful that you guys choose Destiney Ford Photography to document these beautiful milestones. Thank you for another wonderful year! See you next year!

Cozy Couple Sessions - What to Expect ll Destiney Ford Photography

---

Downtown Senoia -- March 8, 2020

As most of you know, I specialize in 4 genres : family, maternity, fresh 48, and senior portraits. I get asked ALL the time if I do engagement sessions or just “couples” portraits. The answer is YES! I adore my Cozy Couple sessions! In fact, I offer Cozy Couple Minis each year around Valentine’s Day but sessions are not limited to those minis each year.

The goal for this type of session is to capture your personalities. Sure, we’ll get those typical “posed” images but I like to dig a little deeper and capture the essence of your relationship. These should be fun, loose, and carefree. Don’t stress about how your smile looks, if your hair is blowing in the wind, or if you’re sitting just right. Relax. Enjoy the moment. Enjoy your partner.

If you have had a session with me, you know that I tend to go back and forth between posed and candid. I tell you to do crazy things and sometimes even talk about farting. (I know, I know. So taboo!) But I want big laughs and heck, if I can summon a snort…I’ve done my job!

If you’re still on the fence about scheduling a Cozy Couple session, take a look at the gorgeous images below! This could be you!

These photos were taken downtown in Senoia, Georgia. Who doesn’t look a good urban style photo session?!

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.
