SubscribeAs a photographer, I am romanticized by the smallest things... my portraits are about relationships: intimate, loving, imperfect and endlessly beautiful. Weddings are a strength for me because they combine all of these traits of life into one glorious event. But I love to photograph anything from portraits of children, Seniors, Pets and even Boudoir images!
Some of my images are whimsical, some of my images are sentimental. All of my images are sincere... active and always filled with life. I both graduated from the University of Georgia in 2005 with a BFA in Photography and have been photographing for around 5 years as a full time profession.
The images that I create for my clients will last for generations: they are once in a lifetime moments, glances and gestures. We
specialize natural portrait, wedding and bridal photography. I love what I do and I am lucky to do it.
Recently, I've discovered that I love to create custom comissioned painted portraits for clients. My intrepretive drawings are usually very playful and colorful and are hand painted in photoshop. Very much one of a kind.
Please get to know me by being my friend on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/JessicaHorwitzPhotography).
As a person, I am many things... I am an avid reader, a lover of travel (which tends to be day and weekend trips these days with such a busy schedule) an EXTREME lover of pets and animals and a singer songwriter. I even play in a band when time permits and my musical hobby is of of my favorite things to do. (You can check me out at LilyOfTheSuburbs.com or on Facebook (Lily of the Suburbs) )

We have had so much fun this year with Senior Portraits! I have really enjoyed being a Senior Portrait Photographer this year. While most of the 2011 Seniors are done with portraits, we are already starting with 2012 Seniors!
Here are a few highlights from some of our 2011 Senior Representatives…
Julia 2011 Paideia
Alex 2011 Fayette County High School
Mallie 2011 George Walton Highschool
Senior Portraits have been a blast this year! I can’t wait to get some blog posts up to showcase the new work we have been doing recently! We have been traveling all over metro Atlanta for the perfect locations to match our graduating senior’s taste. My poor blog seems to be suffering because I have not been attentive lately. We’ve been working on so many different types of portraits, not to mention a few stunning weddings that ARE going to make it onto the blog! Somehow, poor blog, you get left behind from all of our beautiful work. I am going to start here with some Senior Portraits for the 2011 Graduating Class and I’ll do a couple this week, then, I am going to try next week to post weddings that have not been posted but should have been!
Check out how stunningly beautiful Kelly’s portraits are. You can imagine how much I had as a Senior Portrait Photographer, which include, yes… THREE outfit changes! Kelly has been sharing these images with her friends on facebook, but I’ll sit down with them in person soon to help them create the perfect collection of portrait heirlooms to keep framed.

As we gear up for our Fall Portrait season, we are all ready with our brand new Fall 2010 Portrait Catalog. In addition to many of the same things from our previous catalog, we have some exciting new additions!
We are very excited to announce our BRAND new Portrait Days! Featuring discounted session rates… ($29!) Click on the image below to register and don’t forget to tell your friends! Now is the perfect time to start planning your Holiday Portrait Sessions AND the images will be ready in time to gift!
Initiated by client request, we are now offering “Just a Portrait Session”: including, that’s right, ONLY a session! Also, we now have a couple of brand new products… including our new MEDIUM res DVD and our paintings…
The Maynards brought me on as Family Photographer with some super playful ideas for their family portraits… we met in the Virginia Highlands for urban portraits with their three children. The kids portraits were such a blast to work with and these portraits are just so, so adorable. We ended up having some wall composites made for their family to display at home, as well as some enlargements for over their mantle.
AND a 20×24 of the custom watercolor painting I made for their family! Katherine (mom) expressed interest in my completely imagined, interpretive drawings after seeing my previous one on my blog, so I could not help but make one for their family as well. I love to make these paintings… they are done in photoshop, and crafted to be printed large. They are completely hand painted with photoshop 5′s new painting utilities.
Here is their painting:
And here are some close-up, details to really get a feel for the quality and interaction they will have in their home environment. We are having this printed on a deckle edged, watercolor paper and float mounted in a black museum frame and mat. So exciting…
This means… that paintings are available for all! Completely custom portrait paintings come wholly from my imagination: they are roughly based on one of my portraits, but really feature my own made up world of doodles and whimsical shapes and patterns.
And here are their beautiful portraits:
- I am still excited about getting these back!!!!! I LOVE them all!July 12, 2010 - 5:06 pm

- Jessica, Thank you for showcasing our work so beautifully. Your eye for detail is incredible. You captured the rich colors & natural textures as if they were picked fresh from the garden in each photo. I cannot wait to work with you and your team again!

- The pictures are just amazing! You captured so many of my favorites in this posting. Thanks again for helping to make our wedding day so perfect. Love, Brad and Leslie.June 7, 2010 - 4:15 pm
Yikes. I apparently have found a new love. Photoshop painting. Seriously. Photoshop 5 comes with a painting palate… you have brushes that respond to both the pressure of your brush on your tablet, as well as the orientation of your wrist. You clean your brush when it is time for a new color. You can select how wet the brush is. And I am having a complete wave of creativity as a result… see specimen A: my new portrait of Kathleen and Arjan. You will see the original version of this photograph at the bottom of the post. Most of the information here is completely invented. I have taken the doodles I have been doing on sticky notes on my desk and applied them directly to my portraits. Combining them both into painting/drawings! Awesome.
I was partly inspired to craft this piece because of how amazing Kathleen and Arjan are. They have been incredible to work with across the board, from their super fun engagement portraits, to their really beautiful wedding in Athens. Check out Kathleen’s Vintage Dress in her portraits… it really is one of a kind, and it just suits her so well. She is also a photographer and so we like to talk shop a bunch, too!
- These are by far the best pictures I've seen! I usually hate the way I look in all pictures but you worked magic here. Such gorgeous shots and Kathleen looks beautiful! Thank you. Wish you'd been around when I got married!June 7, 2010 - 3:39 pm
- These are absolutely AMAZING! Looking at the pictures takes me right back to Kathleen's wedding day. Thank you so much for your patience with all of us during the picture-taking process....and for capturing such incredible memories that we will be able to enjoy for years to come.June 5, 2010 - 11:53 am
- Hi again! A quick note to say we are still getting compliments on these gorgeous photos. Whenever I put the photos up on my screen, people are just mesmerized and stop whatever they are doing to watch!!June 4, 2010 - 7:26 pm
- Your pictures are so unique and beautiful.It is like reliving the day!Thank you so much for these memoriesMay 27, 2010 - 5:33 pm
- Jessica, your photos continue to stun me with their beauty and originality. I've gone through all of our wedding photos several times now; with each review I'm pleasantly surprised by something new. The photos revive all of the wonderful memories of that day, allowing us to live it over and over---just what we hoped beyond our wildest dreams!! Thank you, again and again!!May 24, 2010 - 9:47 pm
were a blast… shoots like this are such a fun change of pace for me. We created new head shot portraits to match their newly designed website. It should be released soon, so keep your eyes peeled!
- You did such an awesome job!! What more could we ask for than a break from working to go laugh and have a blast while you capture it all. You are doing what you were born to do and you are damn good at it! We'll try to think of another excuse soon for you to come back over and take more pictures of us. :)May 25, 2010 - 3:30 pm
- AWESOME! This was so fun and the pictures came out amazing. Thanks Jessica for making us look wonderful. You were such a doll to work with. I love this block of pictures. Everyone is represented so well.May 24, 2010 - 10:04 am
Stephanie and Adam brought their beautiful dog along for portraits at their engagement portraits! I love when people bring their pets… Stephanie and Adam were such a cool couple to work. We moved through several different spaces during our shoot … from the skyline end of Piedmont Park to the cool buildings behind Park Tavern… They danced for my camera and let me play with some really exciting shadow ideas for more environmental portraits. I am super thrilled with how they came out! Really looking forward to your wedding, guys!!
- We had so much fun taking these photos are so pleased with all of them! They are exactly what we wanted. We were so lucky to have great weather, a wonderful setting, and the perfect photographer!May 21, 2010 - 12:40 pm
These marketing portraits for Pate and Brody are taken in their office, in Centennial Tower across from the Park. I always love gazing out at the city from their windows… the little polka dots of cars and buildings. We shot these images on a really sunshiny day and it was just a beautiful view. Corporate Headshot and Portrait packages happen in your office, provided you are within metro-Atlanta.
I love band portraits!! (obviously.) But, these singer-songwriter portraits for Zander were really a fun project for me… I love how narrative they are, indicative of his personality and so, so cool!! If you have a chance, head over to his youtube page… he is a songwriter and has a really beautiful voice! http://www.youtube.com/zanderednaz … reminds me of Ray Lamontagne?
- #4, with the shaft of light... awesome.May 14, 2010 - 3:46 pm
- I don't think I've ever seen Zander looking this sexy. GREAT job!!May 10, 2010 - 3:45 pm
