Family photos for me are never about stiff posing or perfect smiles. They’re about capturing your family exactly as you are in this season of life. The real connection, the movement, the chaos, the quiet moments in between.

I’m Katrina, the photographer behind Exploring North GA, and I work with families across North Georgia and Atlanta who want their photos to feel natural, warm, and real instead of overly posed or stressful.

Most families I work with are juggling a lot. Busy schedules, growing kids, different personalities, and the idea of taking photos can feel a little overwhelming at first. My job is to take that pressure off of you so the experience feels easy from the moment you inquire to the moment you receive your gallery.

- Kelly D

"I honestly could not say enough about Katrina! We had Katrina take our wedding photos 2 years ago and fell in love. Since then she’s taken our son’s newborn photos, his 9 month milestone photos, and, most recently, family photos. The color pallet she uses sets a beautiful mood and creates breathtaking photos. She makes you feel comfortable and at ease. She delivers in every way. I would highly recommend Katrina for all of your photography needs".

- Brittany K

"Such a wonderful experience for our first family photos! Katrina is so good working with young kids, especially those who are still a little wild! She was a joy to work with and gave us some beautiful photos that we will cherish!"

- Mary G

"I can't recommend Katrina enough! Very professional and willing to help with every detail - from choosing a shoot location to coordinating outfits. We received our sneak-peaks quickly and I was blown away with the quality of her work. I'm going to have such a hard time choosing my final images. Thank you, Katrina for sharing your photographic talents with us!"

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING:

What They're Saying:

One of the biggest advantages of living in this area is how many beautiful natural locations we have access to.

For Atlanta family photography, I often shoot in open parks, grassy fields, and quiet natural pockets around the city that still feel calm and connected to nature. For North Georgia sessions, we can explore mountain views, open fields, rivers, and wooded areas around places like Cumming, Dahlonega, Ellijay, and Blue Ridge.

I help you choose the location based on your family, the season, and the type of feeling you want your photos to have. Light and timing matter just as much as the scenery, and I guide you through all of that before your session so nothing feels rushed or uncertain.
