Kissa, the photographer behind August Rae Photography, runs a luxury maternity portrait studio based in Decatur, Georgia, serving expecting mothers across the broader metro Atlanta area. The studio’s focus is narrowly and intentionally defined: celebrating pregnancy and the journey to motherhood through high-quality, professionally guided portrait sessions designed to make clients feel loved, encouraged, and confidently beautiful throughout the experience.
In-studio sessions are the primary service, with Kissa providing hands-on direction for posing and styling throughout each appointment. A distinctive feature of the August Rae experience is complimentary professional makeup application included with every session, eliminating a preparation step that often requires clients to make separate bookings before arrival. The studio also maintains a curated wardrobe collection available for client use during sessions, giving expecting mothers access to a range of carefully selected garments suited to maternity portraiture without requiring them to source their own clothing.
Post-session deliverables include framed canvas prints and custom albums produced from the client’s selected portraits. The booking process follows a structured three-step sequence: an initial consultation submitted through the website’s contact form, the photography session, and a follow-up artwork selection and printing appointment. Kissa notes a willingness to travel beyond the Decatur base and the broader metro Atlanta area for clients located at a greater distance.
The studio serves both first-time maternity photography clients and repeat clients returning for subsequent pregnancies. Seasonal mini sessions provide a shorter-format alternative for clients who want professional portraits within a condensed timeframe. Booking is facilitated through the website’s booking button alongside an inquiry contact form for questions prior to scheduling.
August Rae Photography maintains active accounts on Facebook and Instagram at @augustraephotography, where portfolio images are regularly updated. All client interactions begin through the website contact form or the booking button; no walk-in street address is published. Pricing is discussed during the initial consultation rather than listed on the public site.
