About
I create kickass imagery for real people and incredible brands. My photographs tell a story – your story – in a unique, authentic, and badass way. So it’s safe to say that I’m not your average photographer. Then again, I’m not your average anything. Chances are, neither are you (and that’s why you’re here). I can’t wait to share some whisky in real life and get to know all about you and how I can bring your story to life, but until then, here’s a tiny bit more about me:
• I’m a perpetual optimist.
• I’m a warrior for love and believe that if you work hard, and are kind, amazing things will happen.
• “Feminist” is my second favorite f-word.
• I’m an oversharer on the internet.
• I speak three languages: English, Sarcasm, and Movie Quotes (though I’m currently brushing up on my French).
• I dance to (new) old records in my living room and have a tendency to get lost in literature.
• I like single malt scotch and fast motorcycles and if tattoos were free I’d be covered in them.
• I can do a pretty passable British accent.
• I’m unexpectedly petite.
• My photography isn’t about magazine features or wedding day details, and it is not about matching outfits or stone bridges. It’s about everything unplanned and spontaneous. It’s about you; your life – real, authentic, uninhibited – being lived out loud in front of my lens. My imagery stems from my desire to tell a story (yours!) and create kickass images (that matter). It’s about kindness and grace and spontaneity and awkward humor. The truest beauty – the heart of your story – exists not only in what I see. But in everything we feel. Whoever you are and whatever your story, my heart – and my camera – would be honored to document it for you.

Athena is the sweetest and kindest person with a wonderful eye in photography!!!
Very beautiful work! I just received some photos back from a client of mine Athena did for a Boudior photoshoot and they are really very lovely! Also, she was timely in her turnaround response with the photos....made for a great experience doing business with her :) I will definately recommend her to all future clients of mine!
Athena Pelton Photography...ahhh! Where do I begin? Well...I'll say what I say to all of my clients when asking about her: Athena is a moment capturer. The moment that, while you're perhaps in it are thinking, "Gosh, I wish I had this moment on camera so that I could remember it forever...just the way it is now." Well with Athena Pelton Photography, you WILL have that moment captured in a picture forever because she catches those moments before they even happen! She's got an amazing eye, super creative, has a personality that will make you feel like you've known her forever. Before you know it she'll be talking to you uncle Bob and grandma Iris as if they were her own family! You do not want to miss out on an opportunity to work with her.
