Why Diversity & Inclusion Matters: From an Atlanta Photography & Production Studio
Our company is and always will be genuinely committed to diversity and inclusion—not as a marketing tactic, but as a core value. We believe it should permeate everything; from the wording of our contracts, to the images that we post online. As an Atlanta female and queer led small business, we believe in creating a space where everyone feels valued, respected, and celebrated for who they are. Our commitment goes beyond just words—it’s woven into every image that we create. When it comes to the clients we serve, we strive to reflect a wide range of experiences, identities, and perspectives. We’re proud to champion self-love, empowerment, and authenticity in all that we do, ensuring that everyone who steps in front of our camera feels seen.

Rachel White (She/her) ◦ Founder & CEO
Location: Atlanta, GA
Current role: Weddings & events, headshots & portraits, commercial work, editing, marketing, basically everything.
"With 13 years of experience and a flawless five-star review record, my passion is working with women and mothers, people in love, seniors, families, and the Atlanta queer community. I have an A.A. in Psychology, a B.S.B.A. in Strategic Marketing, and I'm a recording artist.

Sam Ghioto (He/him) ◦ Head Film-maker
Location: Atlanta & St. Simon's Island, GA
Current role: Film-making, editing, consulting, pre-production.
"I grew up capturing the salt marsh environment on the GA coast. This led to my love of storytelling through film. Film is one of the most powerful ways to evoke emotion, and I love creating timeless art. When I'm not freelancing, I’m working on my own films, enjoying nature, traveling this world, or writing for Golden Isles Magazine."
Vivi (She/her) ◦ Lead Photographer (Analog)
Location: Atlanta, GA
Current role: Weddings, portraits.
"I believe in the positive influence of creation and apply that philosophy through photography, digital design, and writing. I co-own and operate a creative digital marketing agency in Buckhead, GA. I studied Journalism and Art at the University of Georgia, where I discovered my love for community, travel, passionfruit ice cream, and—of course—photography, photography, photography!"
Courtney (She/her) ◦ Lead Photographer
Location: Chattanooga, TN
Current role: Weddings, portraits.
"I'm a hopeless romantic and absolutely LOVE being a photographer! After nine years, I still can't imagine doing anything else. Capturing big moments and sweet, giggly kisses brings me true joy. Every wedding is uniquely special, and I strive to capture timeless, authentic photos. Originally from North GA, I now live in Chattanooga, TN with my husband and two pups. I love the outdoors and I'm often found hiking or chasing sunsets. Can’t wait to hear your love story! Virtual hugs!"
Skay (She/her) ◦ Lead Photographer
Location: Nashville TN
Current role: Weddings, portraits.
"When deciding what I wanted to do with my life, I realized I wanted a career where I could share my journey of faith and encourage others that they are beautiful and worthy. Then I picked up a camera and haven’t looked back! I earned my Business Marketing degree in 2019 and I love photographing weddings because I’m a sucker for romance. I can't wait to help make your day incredible. Four things I love: my husband Malachi, my dog Max, my friends, and snow boarding!"
Annie (She/her) ◦ Lead Photographer
Location: Athens, GA
Current role: Weddings, portraits.
"I’m passionate about capturing love stories through photography! I picked up my camera in 2016 and simply haven’t put it down since. Being able to turn my passion into a career has been a true blessing to me and my family! When I'm not photographing love stories, I’m hanging out with my husband and baby, Archie. I also love music, watching The Office on repeat, and trying new restaurants! I can’t wait to be your professional third wheel on one of the most important and beautiful days of your life."
