Behind Every Photo, There’s a Story — Here’s Mine
Hi, I’m Keri Smith — a photographer, a mama, a wife, and the girl who will 100% make silly faces behind the camera if it gets your kids to smile.
I’m based in Lincoln County, GA, but I’ll happily travel for the right session. I specialize in custom-themed indoor photography, capturing babies, children, and families in a way that feels like you — real personalities, real connections, and a little bit of magic.
Photography became my passion after learning, in the hardest way, that tomorrow isn’t promised. When my son Nathaniel passed away at just 3 months old, I had no professional photos of him — only a few snapshots and videos that time and technology eventually took from me. Almost 10 years later, when my youngest, Layton, was born, I knew I wanted to capture everything.
What began as a way to preserve moments for my own family turned into a mission:
to help other families create photographs they’ll treasure forever. The kind that make you say “wow” when you see them, and smile when you remember the day they were taken.
I’m flexible, I edit quickly, and I love creating custom sets and themes to match your personality. Whether it’s a cake smash, a styled family session, or just a cozy afternoon together — my goal is to make your photos look amazing, while making the day feel fun, easy, and like you’re spending time with an old friend.

Enjoy the Experience
My approach to photography is very laidback and natural. While we will capture several formal, posed portraits that you can print and hang around the house, I also want to focus on the essences of your family. So your photos show each of your personalities and quirks, and portrays your unique family dynamic.
I want to show the real, raw and imperfectly perfect moments, because they matter the most. These are the moments you’ll cherish the most years from now.
Why hire a family photographer?
Why pay for a professional photographer when you can take as many photos and record as many videos as you want, with your phone, right? Not quite. While phone snaps are wonderful memoirs to mundane happy moments, they don’t include one important element - YOU. You are not in the picture, having fun with your lovely family. A professional photographer can capture your family’s legacy as a whole. It’s photos that you’ll want to print and hang along your walls.
