<h2 data-path-to-node="3">What to Wear: Planning Your Family Session in Savannah</h2>
"What should we wear to our family session?" This is such a common question I get asked going into a family session. While choosing outfits for the whole family can feel like a daunting task, it doesn&rsquo;t have to be! Every session is unique just like the family in the images, but there are a few tried-and-true tips&mdash;specifically for our beautiful Savannah backdrop&mdash;that I want to share with you.
&nbsp;
<h2 data-path-to-node="4">Tip #1 - Always Feel Comfortable</h2>
The most important thing to remember is that your clothing should reflect your own personal style. You should feel comfortable and wear something that makes you genuinely confident and happy. If you feel good, you will look good!
&nbsp;
Choose clothing that gives you freedom of movement. Whether we are walking through Forsyth Park or navigating the cobblestones of Jones Street, you don&rsquo;t want to be worried about adjusting your outfit every five minutes.

<h2 data-path-to-node="7">Tip #2 - Consider the Savannah Aesthetic</h2>
Savannah is a city of textures&mdash;distressed brick, Spanish moss hanging from old oak trees, and ornate ironwork. When picking a color scheme, bear in mind that these images will likely end up on your walls. Think about your home decor; you want your images to harmonize with the interior of your house. For Savannah sessions, I often think of soft, earthy tones or light pastels that complement the natural greenery and historic architecture of the city.
<h2 data-path-to-node="8">&nbsp;</h2>
<ul>
<li style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.1;">
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.1;">&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<h2>Tip #3 - Consider Your Location &amp; Crew</h2>
Savannah is stunning, but it can be a "workout" for a family! When choosing your outfits, think about where we&rsquo;ll be standing and how your kids (from toddlers to teens) will need to move. You want to look like you belong in the scenery, not like you're fighting against it.
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.1;">In the Historic Squares: Think "Sunday Best" but breathable. Since we&rsquo;ll be surrounded by deep green oaks and gray Spanish moss, avoid dressing everyone in dark forest greens&mdash;you&rsquo;ll blend right into the trees! Instead, go for light blues, creams, or soft pinks.
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li style="font-size: 18px;">Parent Tip: For toddlers, avoid stiff fabrics. If they can&rsquo;t sit on a park bench or run through the grass comfortably, it will show in their expressions.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.1;">At Tybee Beach: This is the most relaxed vibe. Light, flowy fabrics work best here to catch the ocean breeze. Think sun dresses, linen button-downs, or simple cotton tees.
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li style="font-size: 18px;">Parent Tip: Bare feet are the way to go! Don't worry about matching shoes for the kids&mdash;sand and salt are part of the magic. For teens, a rolled-up chino or a simple maxi dress keeps them feeling cool and not "over-dressed."</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.1;">On River Street &amp; The Cobblestones: This area is all about those cool, industrial textures like old brick and iron. Because the ground is uneven, shoes are the most important choice here. I have tried to walk down there in wedges, it doesn't always end well.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.1;">&nbsp;Parent Tip: Skip the heels or slippery dress shoes for the kids. A clean pair of leather boots or classic sneakers (without bright neon logos) works perfectly. It keeps the "historic city" vibe without anyone tripping on the cobblestones!</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<h2>Tip #4 - Pick the Colors First (Coordinate, Don't Match)</h2>
This tip might be the biggest reason I wanted to compile all the things I learned in my many years of experience into one space, so that you can go into your session with knowledge that gives you a sense of confidence and ease.
&nbsp;
I recommend starting by selecting a base of 2-3 colors and carrying those through the outfits so that everything "goes" together but doesn't look like a uniform. Keep in mind that the colors you choose for each family member do not have to match exactly, but they should look nice together. You don&rsquo;t want everyone looking identical in white t-shirts and jeans. Instead, mix neutrals with subtle accent colors. Neutral colors create a soft, elegant style and will give your images a timeless feel against Savannah&rsquo;s lush backdrop.
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>Tip #5 - Choose Classic Over Trendy</h2>
Savannah is a city that has stood the test of time, and your photos should too. Think about choosing neutrals, pastel colors, and avoiding fast-fashion trends. Go for classic looks that will stand the test of time. The last thing you want is to look at your photos 10 or 20 years from now and question your fashion choices. I recommend staying away from large logos, distracting characters, or neon colors that could date your portraits or cause "color cast" on your skin.

Planning a Family Session in Savannah

Most people think of love stories as something exclusively romantic, but I'm here to tell you a different kind of tale. One that's loud, dramatic, creative, and yes, a little dark around the edges. This is a love story about Savannah, a city that feels like it was made for chosen family &mdash; for friendships that show up fully and unapologetically.
&nbsp;
Savannah, with its moss-draped oaks and cobblestone streets, is a city that invites you in and makes you feel like you belong. It's a place where friends become family, and moments become memories worth capturing. And that's where I come in. As a photographer, I've been lucky enough to document these unique love stories. I've seen how the city's charm and beauty enhance the bond of friendship, making each photo session feel like a special celebration.
&nbsp;
Want to capture your own Savannah love story? I'm excited to share that I'm adding more Savannah sessions this season. These sessions are not just about capturing pretty pictures. They are about documenting your journey and the relationships that have shaped you. They are about celebrating friendship and the city that brings you closer together.
&nbsp;
Whether you're planning a friend group getaway, reunion or a bachelorette party, these sessions are perfect for you. You can choose between a paparazzi-style documentation or a more dramatic editorial style. Whichever you prefer, my goal is to capture the essence of your friendship and the spirit of Savannah in each photo.
&nbsp;
So, if you and your people feel like this city fits you, come and join me. Let's create keepsakes that will remind you of your Savannah love story for years to come. After all, not every love story is romantic. Some are about friendships that are loud, dramatic, creative, and a little dark around the edges, just like Savannah.
&nbsp;
Remember, more of this, please. Because in a world where everything changes so fast, we all need something to hold onto. And what's better than photographs that capture the moments and the people that mean the most to us?

Embracing Savannah: A Different Kind of Love Story

In the early days of 2026, I had the chance to embark on an adventure like no other. I was joined by two wonderful souls, Gaby and Taylor, who were visiting the city on vacation. This journey took us to the heart of Bonaventure Cemetery, a place that perfectly encapsulates the romantic charm and natural beauty that I so deeply admire and love about this city.
&nbsp;
The day started with a sense of excitement and anticipation. We had been planning this adventure around their trip for some time and were conscious of the impending rain. Gaby and Taylor had expressed a desire for a setting that resonated with natural vibes. They had initially suggested Wormsloe, a place known for its breathtaking landscapes. However, with the unpredictable weather, shuttle logistics, and a few other factors to consider, we decided to look for an alternative that would offer the same natural appeal, but with the added convenience of being close to a parking lot in case we needed to dodge raindrops.
&nbsp;
That&rsquo;s when Bonaventure Cemetery came into the picture. A place of historic significance, its dreamy romantic vibes are hard to ignore. It&rsquo;s a unique blend of nature and history that provides an interesting backdrop for a photography session. It offers both lush trees and serene waterfront views, making it an ideal choice for our nature-inspired adventure.
&nbsp;
The day spent exploring Bonaventure Cemetery with Gaby and Taylor was a delightful experience. The cemetery, with its dreamy romantic vibes, was exactly the setting we were looking for. The impending rain did nothing to dampen the spirits of Gaby and Taylor, who were nothing short of lovely and beautiful throughout the day. They truly were a joy to work with and their energy and enthusiasm added a special touch to the day. Even in January we found blossoms blooming.
&nbsp;
I am a Savannah-based photographer who specializes in couple photography and portrait sessions (#savannahphotographer #savannahportraits #CouplesPhotography #savannahanniversarytrip). I am always on the lookout for unique and beautiful locations that can add a special touch to my photo sessions. And on this day, Bonaventure Cemetery proved to be just that. A place that allowed us to be in nature, enjoy the romantic vibes of the city, and create beautiful memories.

Exploring Bonaventure Cemetery: A Blend of Romance, Nature, and Photography

Savannah is one of the most beautiful cities in the South for senior portraits &mdash; not just because of the scenery, but because of how many different stories it can hold.
This fall, I photographed three Class of 2026 seniors in Savannah: Matilde, Jaiyi, and Allie. Each came in with a different vision, comfort level, and personality &mdash; which made their sessions a perfect example of how a senior photography experience should work.
This post highlights their sessions and explains how the Savannah senior session process helps every senior feel confident, seen, and authentically themselves.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<div contenteditable="false"><hr></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">The Savannah Senior Session Experience</h2>
As a Savannah senior photographer, my sessions are built around three things:
<ul>
<li style="font-size: 18px;">Personality-first planning</li>
<li style="font-size: 18px;">Locations that support each senior&rsquo;s style</li>
<li style="font-size: 18px;">A relaxed, guided experience (even for nervous seniors)</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
Savannah offers incredible variety for senior pictures:
<ul>
<li style="font-size: 18px;">Forsyth Park for classic elegance</li>
<li style="font-size: 18px;">Riverwalk for waterfront texture and movement</li>
<li style="font-size: 18px;">Rooftops and urban spaces for editorial energy</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
For this group, two sessions started in Forsyth Park, two explored Riverwalk, and Matilde added a parking garage rooftop for a bold, cinematic finish.
Every session followed a different path &mdash; because no two seniors are the same.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<div contenteditable="false"><hr></div>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Matilde | Retro Hollywood Senior Photos in Savannah</h2>
Matilde wanted retro Hollywood glamour &mdash; confident, cinematic, and timeless.
&nbsp;
We began at the bridge walkways on Bay Street, using the elevated paths and the Savannah River and storefronts. Then we moved to a parking garage rooftop, where the clean lines and open sky created an editorial, movie‑scene atmosphere. Also, making sure the grab some images in front of the Lucas and SCAD theaters.
&nbsp;
Her Savannah senior photos blended:
<ul>
<li style="font-size: 18px;">Historic beauty</li>
<li style="font-size: 18px;">Modern city energy</li>
<li style="font-size: 18px;">Old‑Hollywood confidence</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
This is one of the biggest advantages of senior photography in Savannah &mdash; the city allows multiple aesthetics in one session.
&nbsp;
<div contenteditable="false"><hr></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Jaiyi | Growing Into Her Confidence&nbsp;</h2>
Jaiyi shared right away that she was nervous about her senior pictures.
&nbsp;
We started in Forsyth Park because it feels open, calm, and non‑intimidating. We walked, talked, and moved slowly. I never rushed her into posing.
&nbsp;
By the time we reached Riverwalk, her body language changed. She was relaxed, present, and confident in her own way.
&nbsp;
Her Savannah senior portraits didn&rsquo;t feel posed &mdash; they felt honest.
That transformation is one of the most rewarding parts of being a Savannah senior photographer.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<div contenteditable="false"><hr></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Allie | Natural Senior Portraits Around Forsyth Park</h2>
Allie wanted a natural background that didn&rsquo;t overpower her.
Forsyth was perfect &mdash; Large oaks, winding paths, soft movement, and gentle light. Her session focused on simplicity, ease, and letting her personality lead.
&nbsp;
Sometimes the best Savannah senior photos come from locations that quietly support the subject instead of competing with them.
&nbsp;
<div contenteditable="false"><hr></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Best Locations for Senior Pictures in Savannah</h2>
Savannah is ideal for senior photography because it offers:
<ul>
<li style="font-size: 18px;">Forsyth Park for classic senior portraits</li>
<li style="font-size: 18px;">Riverwalk for waterfront and urban textures</li>
<li style="font-size: 18px;">Rooftops for editorial senior photos</li>
<li style="font-size: 18px;">Walkable routes that create natural movement</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
Senior sessions here feel more like mini‑adventures than photo sessions &mdash; and that&rsquo;s when the most authentic expressions appear. I am looking forward to a Senior that might want sessions by Daffin Park too!
&nbsp;
<div contenteditable="false"><hr></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">What Seniors Should Know Before Booking</h2>
You don&rsquo;t need to know how to pose. You don&rsquo;t need to feel confident. You don&rsquo;t need a perfect plan.
Your Savannah senior photographer should guide you through every step &mdash; from location choice to pacing to natural direction.
&nbsp;
Matilde, Jaiyi, and Allie are proof that senior sessions aren&rsquo;t about fitting into a trend &mdash; they&rsquo;re about capturing who you are in this exact season of life.
&nbsp;
<div contenteditable="false"><hr></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Savannah Senior Photography for the Class of 2026</h2>
If you&rsquo;re a Savannah senior (or parent of one), your senior photos should feel personal, effortless, and meaningful.
&nbsp;
Savannah isn&rsquo;t just a backdrop &mdash; it becomes part of your story.
And I&rsquo;d love to help tell it.

Savannah Seniors

One summer night, I had the chance to step behind the scenes of Zunzi's Savannah, a true staple in the Savannah cuisine scene. This wasn't just any random visit; it was an influencer event held in August that was brimming with energy, passion, and of course, tantalizing dishes and cocktails.
&nbsp;
Zunzi's Savannah is a place that Gavin and I have frequented on more than a few occasions. This familiarity added a layer of personal connection to the event, making it even more special. It was like stepping into a friend's house, a friend who happens to make the most delicious food and drinks in town.
&nbsp;
There's a certain kind of magic in getting to meet the people who make your favorite places tick. Spending time getting to know the team behind Zunzi's Savannah was an enlightening experience. These are the folks whose hard work, creativity, and dedication keep customers coming back for more. Their energy was infectious, a tangible buzz that brought the whole place to life.
&nbsp;
But it wasn't all about the people - the food and drinks were, as always, on point. Zunzi's Savannah added its tiki cocktail menu, and for a good reason. Their tiki cocktails are 🔥🔥, a must-try for anyone stopping by. Each sip is a tropical vacation, a burst of flavors that tantalizes the taste buds and leaves you craving for more.
&nbsp;
As the night wore on, under the soft glow of the restaurant's lights, it was apparent why Zunzi's Savannah has become such an integral part of the local food scene. It's a place that welcomes you with open arms, serving up good food, great drinks, and a sense of familiarity that makes you feel at home from the very first visit. If you are looking for a beach restaurant and bar but don't want to leave Savannah's Historic District, this is the place to go.
&nbsp;
If you ever find yourself in Savannah, make sure to stop by Zunzi's Savannah. It's more than just a restaurant; it's a place where food, drinks, and people come together to create unforgettable experiences.

A Night to Remember at Zunzi's Savannah

One of the best things about living and working as a photographer in Savannah is that inspiration is always right outside the door. The historic squares, cobblestone streets, and layered history make this city such a dream to photograph&mdash;and I&rsquo;m always looking for ways to gather fresh content that shows off its charm.
Recently, Emily from @windsorgreyphotography and Andrew let me tag along with them while I carried a couple of cameras around town. It was the perfect excuse to explore, create, and collect some new Savannah content for my portfolio.
We started at the Green-Meldrim House, soaking in the Gothic Revival details, after making our way from the Wedding Fountain in Orleans Square. From there, we wandered down Jones Street (always one of my favorites). Then made a quick stop for a wardrobe change and a break from the South Georgia heat and headed to a hotel for some rooftop and lobby photos that gave us a completely different perspective on the city.
Of course, no Savannah adventure is complete without good food, so we wrapped up the day at Zunzi&rsquo;s on Drayton. Between the iconic backdrops, the little spontaneous stops along the way, and the company, it was exactly the kind of day that reminds me why I love documenting this city and couples so much.
Savannah has a way of surprising me every time I go out with my camera&mdash;and I can&rsquo;t wait to share more of what I&rsquo;ve been capturing.

Erin & Bryant

"Anne was such a pleasure to work with! The package we bought for our August 2024 wedding included an engagement session which helped us get to know Anne before the big day AND we got to include our two dogs who wouldn't be allowed at the wedding venue. Her prices are extremely fair and her turnaround time for both photo sessions was faster than I had expected. She is flexible, kind, thoughtful, organized and takes truly beautiful photos. My family and friends all commented on how easy it was to work with Anne. Highly recommend!"

I still remember the day quite vividly. The soft whispers of the ocean breeze, the orange and pink hues of the sunset reflecting off the tranquil waters of Myrtle Beach, the hushed, intimate moments shared between Sarah and Mike - it was a dreamy elopement, indeed. The kind of moments that make you appreciate the beauty of love and togetherness.
&nbsp;
Sarah is a dear friend of mine. She was the artist behind my wedding hair and makeup. Over the years, our professional relationship blossomed into a cherished friendship. And when she met Mike, a fellow Westfield State Alum, I could see the sparks flying between them. Their love story felt like a book written by fate itself.
&nbsp;
On their special day, it was just the two of them, standing barefoot on the sandy beach, their eyes gleaming with love. The setting sun painted the sky with a palette of warm colors, mirroring the glow on their faces. The world stood still as they promised their forever to each other. The only witnesses to their eternal love were the endless ocean, the setting sun, and me, feeling immensely privileged to be a part of their intimate celebration.
&nbsp;
Over the years, I have attended and photographed countless weddings. But there&rsquo;s something incredibly touching about intimate elopements. It&rsquo;s about celebrating love in its rawest, most authentic form, away from the noise and chaos of grand celebrations. It&rsquo;s just two people, bound by love, vowing to navigate the journey of life together.
&nbsp;
This intimate beach wedding was a testament to the kind of love that feels like coming home - comforting, warm, and genuine. And as I captured these beautiful moments, I couldn't help but feel my heart swell with happiness for Sarah and Mike. Here's to love that feels like coming home, to the newlyweds, and to many more sunset love stories I am yet to capture.
