YOU'RE MY KIND OF PEOPLE
we'll treat
YOUR KIDS
like they're our own
You know that mom friend you have? Whose kids are a little older and so damn relaxed about how messy her house is? Your go-to whenever you have a question about diapers, shampoo brands, or poop color ('cause you know she's seen it all)?
That’s the energy we’re looking to bring to your session.
There’s not much your kid can do that will surprise us, and even if they do, we’re hard-wired to handle it in stride…
…because our kids would probably do the same thing.
So, from one set of moms in the thick of it to you – Seriously.
Come on over, whenever you want.
And, well, that's kind of the point.
It’s happy and fun, and it sounds like one of those gibberish words our toddlers say that turn into family vernacular.
WE KNOW, OUR NAME is a little silly...
WHY "SUNNYPOP"?
because just like you,
our kids inspire us
in all we do
Candid family photography in Atlanta, GA
The sunshiney, summer lovin’ half of this sister partnership. You’ll find me on IG, in the DMs, and answering your texts once you inquire.
For me, motherhood came way before I felt ready. I was 22, freshly married and dreaming big about creating art and making my mark in the world.
I fought through near-crippling feelings of inadequacy from the moment I found out I was pregnant.
I didn't know what I was doing; I just knew I wanted my kids to grow up feeling loved.
Seven years later, I look at the messy, sticky art that we've created and feel pride. Our little family of five has been a safe space for all of us as we've navigated the more excruciating and confusing parts of life.
Looking back, I see that starting a family isn't something that you can fully prepare for; it's something you grow into, and alongside... and I'm so friggin passionate about capturing every bit of that messy middle for our clients.

Our down-to-earth, dark humored, logistical all-star. I’ll be behind-the-scenes making sure every detail of your experience is taken care of.
I got married and had my daughter when I was in my 30's.
In my experience, family is something you fight for every day.
We've had dark seasons, both as a marriage and as a family struggling to grow - so pictures and stories of polished, perfect families don't resonate with me.
When I think of Sunnypop, I'm always considering the different seasons that families go through. I don't want to leave anyone behind.
You aren't too messy, too imperfect, or too small.
Your family's story is worthy of being captured.
Not "someday" when it "gets better" - but now.

My favorite photo of my mom? I never notice what she's wearing in it. I notice how she smiles with abandon. How she makes me feel.
No, we won't edit out [insert whatever it is you were thinking here]. Because one day, these photos will be all your kids have of you, and we want them to have the real you.
