Find the Right Setting for Your Session



The right location should complement your vision—not compete with it. DHP offers private studio sessions and outdoor photography throughout Athens and the surrounding areas.


Explore a few of our most requested locations below.

UGA Arch


The UGA Arch is a classic choice with a timeless feel. It offers a clean, iconic backdrop that photographs beautifully and never goes out of style. This spot is especially popular for seniors and graduation sessions and works best during quieter times to avoid crowds. If you’re looking for something traditional, meaningful, and unmistakably Athens, this is a great option.

North Campus


UGA North Campus offers historic buildings, white columns, brick walkways, greenery, and plenty of variety for graduation photos in Athens, GA. It’s perfect for graduates who want the classic UGA atmosphere without using the Arch in every image.


Specific areas may depend on campus activity, university events, and your scheduled session time.


Best for: UGA graduation photos, senior portraits, professional headshots, and classic outdoor portraits.

Open fields and grassy locations create a warm, relaxed look with room for movement. These locations photograph best during softer morning or evening light.


The appearance of natural locations can change throughout the year, so DHP will recommend the best available option for your session date.


Best for: Families, maternity, children, couples, and relaxed milestone sessions.

State Botanical Gardens of Georgia


This location is perfect if you love greenery and a peaceful, natural feel. The gardens offer a mix of shaded paths, open spaces, and soft textures that photograph beautifully. It works especially well for maternity, couples, and family sessions. Because this is a public space, sessions here are kept relaxed and flexible, and availability may depend on crowds and seasonal changes.


Best for: Maternity, grads, & family portraits.
