Family Photography for Families in East Cobb
When life is busy, updating the family portrait is easy to postpone. Children grow, families expand, and important milestones pass while most of your pictures remain scattered across phones and social media.
Stuart Hasson Studios creates professional family portraits for couples, growing families, children, grandparents, and extended families throughout East Cobb. Every session begins with a conversation about the people you love, the relationships you want to capture, and how you would like to enjoy the finished portraits in your home.
You can choose the consistency and comfort of Stuart’s Marietta portrait studio or an outdoor setting with natural scenery and warm light. Stuart will help you select a location based on your family’s personality, the season, and the style of artwork you envision.
You will also receive guidance on clothing, posing, groupings, and preparation. During the session, Stuart keeps the mood light and gives everyone clear direction, allowing genuine expressions and family connections to emerge naturally.

HOW We Work
Our stress-free process for your family photoshoot
Every great family portrait begins with a conversation. The more I learn about your family, the better I can design a session that's uniquely yours. During our initial 30-minute consultation we'll talk about your family, your goals, where you'd like your portraits displayed, clothing ideas, and the overall style you're hoping for. Before we finish, I'll provide an honest estimate of your investment and we'll create a plan for an enjoyable, stress-free portrait experience.
Consultation
Begin with a complimentary conversation about your family, clothing, important groupings, possible locations, and how you may want to display your portraits.
Portrait Session
Meet Stuart at the Marietta studio or your chosen location for a relaxed session with professional lighting, posing, and expression guidance.
Premier Showing

Stuart Hasson, PPA Certified Professional Photographer
For more than 38 years, Stuart Hasson has helped families create portraits that reflect who they are and how they relate to one another.
Stuart believes the planning process is an essential part of successful family photography. Before the session, he takes time to understand the family, identify the most meaningful relationships, discuss clothing, and determine whether a studio or outdoor location will best support the finished portrait.
During the session, Stuart combines professional technique with a patient, lighthearted approach. The goal is to create polished photographs without losing the expressions and connections that make your family recognizable.
Things to consider
When Is the Right Time to Choose Professional Family Photography?
Families often begin considering a new portrait when they realize how much has changed since their last one. It may be time to schedule a session if:
- Your last professional family portrait was taken several years ago.
- One parent is missing from most family pictures because that person is usually behind the camera.
- Your family is celebrating a birth, graduation, anniversary, wedding, new home, or other meaningful change.
- Your children have entered a new stage that you want to remember.
- You want to include grandparents, adult children, grandchildren, or pets in one complete family portrait.
- You have hundreds of digital snapshots but very little family artwork you can see and enjoy every day.
