Still Southern Photography

Still Southern Photography I am a self taught photographer pursuing my dreams! Thank you for supporting my journey. Hey there! I believe in prompts over poses! Updated: October 7, 2024

My name is Whitney Hodges, and I am the creative soul behind Whitney Hodges Photography. I believe in capturing life’s raw, candid, and full of emotion moments. While I’m always open to creative inspiration, I am the most passionate about telling your story as it unfolds naturally. The prompts allow you to be yourselves so that I can capture you and your individual personalities! I am originally f

rom the beautiful hills of Northeast Tennessee. I have been on this photography journey since I was gifted my first camera in 2006. What started out as nothing more than a hobby quickly grew into a true calling and a passion. By 2014, I was turning that passion into a small business, and I’ve been slowly growing every day. True growth takes time, patience and a willingness to learn. On a personal note, I’ve been married to my amazing husband for over eight years, and together we’re raising two vibrant daughters who keep life full of love and adventure. Beyond hiding behind the lens, I am also a full-time student, working toward my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education—because chasing your dreams never has to stop, and who says you can't have more than one! Being a military spouse and living the military family lifestyle, I know how precious moments are. Photography allows me to capture those priceless, beautiful pieces of life that are often missed and it is an honor to share that with others. At the end of the day, I’m all about authenticity—both in my work and my life. Originality is what drives me forward. Let’s create something real, something you.

Please know that while I strive to get photos back as quickly as possible, it is now summer vacation. My children are home and spending time with them and caring for them will always come first. There are things that need to be done around the house (home projects), that I have to get done while I can. I live a life just as everyone else does. I spend hours upon hours ensuring photos are culled and edited to a high standard. It is not just a simple edit that gets thrown on and sent out. I have 4 albums currently in the works that I plan to get sent out between tonight and tomorrow. Please be patient with me.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!

God Bless you all!

Whitney

Just a few of my favorites from a last minute shoot on Monday! It was a family of 11 and their previous photographer had cancelled. When they contacted me I wasn't sure if Id be able to make it because my kiddos were out of school. But, they said my kids could come along! So, we made it happen and I am so glad we did! I loved getting to meet this family and their personalities all shined, even in the not so perfect moments.

And that my friends...is life! Capture the real moments of life and enjoy those imperfectly, perfect moments just as much as a capture the poses. Remember life for the way it was. The memory deserves to be real.

Tomorrow is March 20th, and we haven’t reached the minimum number of entries yet. As mentioned before, if that happened, I would extend the contest—so we’re extending it to April 1st.
On April 1st, I’ll share all entries in a separate post, whether we reach 20 entries or not. Voting will take place from that post, and we’ll count votes on April 10th—so be sure to share it when it goes live!
