A word I use so often in describing my photography is meaningful. I ask lots of questions of my clients to make sure the photos I’m creating for them have purpose. This family actually came prepared with the idea of incorporating their brand new treehouse!

Before I arrived, I thought maybe it would be a cute little house about 5 feet off the ground…when I showed up, I saw a legit treehouse with a 12-foot ladder waiting for me! Climbing to the top of the ladder with two expensive cameras strapped to my waist made my hands sweat – I’m not going to lie. But, I had so much fun and was really excited at the opportunity to stray from the norm.

In addition, this family is die hard University of Georgia fans (go Dawgs!). Dressed in patterns of red and including their dog named Georgia (what else?), I think they would win the best Christmas card challenge amongst their friends & family.

Do you have a really unique family portrait idea you’d like to fulfill with me? Let me know at hello@lovelyandlightphoto.com!
