Why Work with an Atlanta Portrait Photographer
A Personalized Portrait Experience

Every session at Turning Leaf Photography is intentionally designed. I work one-on-one with each client to create imagery that reflects personality, presence, and story. Whether I’m photographing seniors, families, or professionals, my approach remains the same—thoughtful direction, natural light, and an experience that feels elevated yet relaxed.

Clients receive pre-session guidance, including wardrobe support and location planning, so they arrive feeling confident and prepared. Each image is carefully hand-edited in my signature style—elegant, natural, and quietly magazine-worthy.

Meet the Artist Behind the Camera

I’m Kristie, the photographer and artist behind Turning Leaf Photography. I see myself as an artist first and a photographer second. Creativity has always shaped who I am, from my earliest days experimenting with film photography to building a career rooted in storytelling and visual artistry.

Some of my favorite childhood memories involve watching my grandmother’s slide projector—she was the family historian, and unknowingly, she planted the seed for my love of preserving moments. That influence continues to guide my work today.

Experience, Recognition & Trust

Over the years, my work has been featured in publications such as Atlanta Parent Magazine, VoyageATL, and Seniorologie. I’ve also had the honor of photographing notable figures and earning recognition within the Atlanta photography community.

More importantly, I’ve built lasting relationships with clients who value thoughtful craftsmanship and a personalized experience. That trust means everything to me.

Why Turning Leaf Photography

Turning Leaf Photography isn’t about trends or quick sessions. It’s about creating portraits that feel meaningful now and lasting years from now. From seniors marking a milestone, to families preserving connection, to professionals refining their image, each session is approached with care, intention, and artistry.

Because a photograph doesn’t just capture a moment—it preserves a season of life.
