What is the story behind Lawson Whitaker Photography?

A lot has happened to portraiture since Lawson Whitaker's darkroom days at Sewanee. With a perceptive eye for composition, his photography has evolved over several decades to include local, national, and international projects. Recently Lawson expanded his portfolio to include collage and digital painting, building a successful career in a highly competitive field by bringing a consistent vision to a diverse client base. The Chattanooga-based photographer thrives on the variety of projects he tackles. "Every day is something different doing exactly what I love," he explains.

Lawson brings the same emotion and creativity for a family, high school senior, corporate, or small business. He goes past taking the shot to draw personality and energy out of subjects. He takes photography out of the traditional studio to bring a deeper connection between the subject and the objective of the portrait.

Lawson is an incredible artist. He works well with children -- and getting crowds together. He captures the moments that you least expect and captures the moments you always dreamed of having etched. After request, he offered proof books allowing my family and friends to paruse through to make their own orders. He has incredible memory book specials. I can honestly say I have magazine worthy photographs. I have canvas worthy camera shots I can hang on my wall. It was well worth every second and moment to capture the memories of this once and a lifetime experience!


Reflection on experience but not a reflection quality of photographer: I think my only shock came (because I'd never hired a wedding photographer) is that you pay a fat deposit to secure the date, another fat sum just for said photographer to show up...and then even more money goes out just to purchase pictures. Again, I'm told this is how all photographers operate...however I feel photographers would make more money if they put pics on-line for family and friends to log on and order pics themselves rather than going through the bride.
