We’re Jill Marie and David Scruggs, the wife-husband team behind One Soul Photography. We love creating beautiful portraits for our clients, and we can’t wait to work with you!
We’ve been photographing people together since 2016. We’ve grown from working on location to a home studio, then to a small space overlooking Marietta Square, and now to our current 3,000 square foot studio in Kennesaw! In our latest digs, we’ve designed a dynamic space for creating traditional portraiture, branding portraits, boudoir, and inspired fine art for individuals, couples, adult families, and small groups.
Our studio is even large enough to incorporate a classic or exotic car or show bike into our client sessions.
Working with us
1. We meet
We’re here to create portraits that capture your essence the way you’d like it presented. Our commissioned work for you begins with a conversation to create a shared understanding about your goals and our creative process.
This beginning is true regardless of the type of session and portraiture request that we’re undertaking with you.
We’ll talk about wardrobe, how to prepare for your session, and wall art and album options for your finished portraits.
2. We set a date
Our short-term calendar stays pretty full, so planning ahead gives you the most options for your day with us. Even so, we’ll do our best to address short-turnaround needs, if required.
3. Your Day-of experience
If we’re providing professional hair and makeup, your session will start with some attention from a member of our beauty team.
When it’s time to create art together, we’ll show you to our portrait walls, we’ll explain the instructional terms that you’ll be hearing, and we’ll expertly position you from nose to toes for each portrait that we capture so they reflect you at your best.
4. Portrait Viewing and Ordering
At our initial meeting, you’ll choose whether to you want to view your portraits the same day as your session, or, if time constraints will be a consideration, you can choose to schedule your viewing and ordering appointment for a few days after your session.
Either way, this is where you’ll see your portraits for the first time, and you’ll decide on the ones you want as beautiful wall art for your home or for inclusion in one of the stunning, handcrafted Italian albums that we offer.
5. Art delivery
When your ordered artwork and/or album arrives from Italy, we’ll inspect it to insure it’s made the journey safely, and then we’ll contact you to arrange delivery.
