Celebrating ten years of photographing families across Atlanta
About Denay Shook Photo
Meet Denay, the lead photographer and heart behind Denay Shook Photo. With more than ten years of experience serving families across Atlanta, Metro Atlanta, and North Atlanta, Denay has built a reputation for creating warm, intentional, and stress-free photography experiences for busy moms.
Denay’s journey began in her own home. As a mom of four girls, she quickly realized how fast the seasons of motherhood move and how important it is to preserve the fleeting moments that often go unnoticed. What started as capturing her own family’s story grew into a full-time photography career grounded in empathy, connection, and an intuitive understanding of motherhood.
Her calm presence and child-led approach allow families to relax, feel supported, and be themselves in front of the camera. Denay is known for bringing an effortless flow to every session — guiding wardrobe, helping little ones feel comfortable, and quietly capturing the honest, in-between moments that define a family.
Over the years, her business has been shaped by loyal clients, heartfelt Google reviews, and the trust families place in her year after year. Today, she is proud to offer a refined photography experience that honors the beauty, connection, and emotion within every household.

I loved how she had a clear vision in mind for what worked for my wiggly family and had no problem directing us throughout our shoot. She was patient & knew what looked best, which I highly value. And our photos look AMAZING. 10/10 recommend!
"Seriously INCREDIBLE experience working with Denay."

The photos are absolutely beautiful — great lighting, variety, and attention to detail. You can tell she really cares about her clients and loves what she does. If you’re looking for a senior photographer in Dacula, Lawrenceville, Buford and beyond, who is patient, creative, and professional, I can’t recommend Denay enough!
