families and children
in Alpharetta, Roswell and North Atlanta
kind words from
MICHELLE ECKARD
I’ve gotten so many compliments on these photos; you are truly amazing!!!!!!
 
Somebody in your family doesn't want to do this. Usually it's the
teenager, sometimes it's your husband, and once in a while it's everyone
at once and you're the only one who said yes.
That's most families, and I plan for it. I don't line people up and start
posing. We walk, we talk, and everyone moves around until they forget
what we came for. The pictures you'll actually keep come out of that
part, not the part where everybody's looking at the lens.
I photograph a lot of families with older kids and teenagers. Most
photographers find toddlers easier. I'd rather have the fifteen-year-old
who thinks this is a waste of a Saturday, because that's the year you'll
want back later.
We shoot around Milton, Roswell, Alpharetta, Canton and Woodstock , and
I pick the spot with you and handle the timing. You don't plan anything.
You'll get digitals, and you can add a handmade album or matted prints in
a folio box. Those get opened. Files sit on a phone.
Collections start at $900. I'll send you the full
list before you decide anything.
One thing to know about fall. If you want these on a holiday card, book
by the end of November, because fall spots fill up first.
Tell me how many people are coming and how old your kids are. I'll send
you my open dates.
 
FAQ
What is your family photography style?
My style blends natural, candid moments with beautifully composed portraits. I focus on capturing genuine expressions and meaningful connections, whether we’re outdoors, in the studio, or on the field.
 
How should we prepare for our session?
 
Once your session is booked, I’ll guide you through everything — from what to wear to how to choose a location. I want you to feel relaxed and confident, so I make the planning process simple and stress-free.
 
What if someone in my family is camera-shy or my kids don’t cooperate?
 
That’s completely okay — I work with all kinds of personalities and ages. Sessions are designed to be fun and low-pressure, and I use a mix of gentle direction and play to make everyone feel comfortable.
 
Do you offer printed products or just digital images?
 
Both! You’ll receive access to high-quality digital files, and I also offer beautiful print products like handcrafted albums, wall art, and unique keepsakes — perfect for turning your images into lasting memories.
