Lane Collins Photography

Cinematic, story-driven photography rooted in connection, movement and the wild beauty of North Georgia.

Lane Collins Photography creates emotive maternity, motherhood, newborn, family and senior portraits throughout Dahlonega and the North Georgia mountains. Sessions are intentionally photographed in beautiful locations and meaningful spaces, creating imagery that feels less like a photoshoot and more like a piece of your story.

Hi! I'm Erika Collins

Photographer + Storyteller

I’m a Dahlonega, Georgia photographer drawn to the kind of moments you wish you could bottle up—the way your baby fits against your chest, little hands reaching for yours, wind catching a dress, belly laughs, bare feet, growing bellies and all the beautiful in-between moments that make your story yours.

As a North Georgia maternity, newborn, motherhood, family and senior photographer, my work is rooted in connection rather than perfection. I want your session to feel less like posing for photographs and more like stepping into a scene from your own life. We’ll wander through fields, chase beautiful light, explore rivers and mountains, embrace movement and let the moments unfold naturally. For my tiniest clients, my Dahlonega newborn studio offers a quiet, intimate space to document those first fleeting days with the same organic, story-driven approach.

As a mom of three boys, I know how quickly one season becomes the next. That’s why I’m not interested in simply documenting what your family looks like right now. I want to preserve what it feels like.

My goal is to create cinematic, emotive photographs that tell your story—images filled with movement, personality and connection that transport you back to this exact chapter years from now.

Because someday, these won't just be photographs. They'll be proof of how it all felt.

  • “Erika did a wonderful job on my family pictures! I've got 2 girls under 2 and a husband who hates having his pictures done. I'm sure it was no easy task but she got smiles from everyone! Pictures were beautifully edited in a timely manner. I look forward to working with her again.”

  • “10/10 recommend! Erika makes you feel very at ease during your shoot and is able to get authentic moments as a result. Her editing is absolutely flawless.”

  • “Erika is awesome! She had an amazing set up for my son and I, and made us feel so comfortable. We loved all the beautiful pictures she took of us! Definitely recommend!”

  • “Erika was amazing to work with. She was always so quick to respond and to edit our photos. She was great with our kids and really took her time to create such great shots! Highly recommend her!!”

  • “Erika was amazing capturing my sons milestone 1 yr photos! She worked with me before the shoot talking over my ideas, vision, theme, and different props to capture everything I wanted. The set she put together for the photoshoot was amazing, exactly what I wanted. She was amazing working with my very adventurous little one and was able to capture the most amazing shots. Thank you so much, can not wait to plan another trip to Dahlonega and session with you.”

  • “We did a maternity/family photo shoot with Erika and it was the best experience. She made everyone feel so comfortable and every picture turned out awesome. She also has intimate knowledge of the local area so you can be assured you’re getting the best photo location with the best natural light!”

  • This is my fourth photoshoot with Lane Collins Photography, and I love her work!!! Erika is an amazing professional, she can see what others can’t see. Her pictures are truly artwork.

    I worked as a professional model my entire life and I’m very picky about photographers, and Erika does it better than many photographers around the world.

    I’m a fan!!❤️❤️

STORIES OF MOTHERHOOD, CHILDHOOD & EVERYTHING BETWEEN

Lane Collins Photography is a Dahlonega, Georgia photographer specializing in cinematic maternity, newborn, family, motherhood and senior photography throughout North Georgia. My approach is rooted in storytelling—creating photographs filled with movement, connection and the beautifully imperfect moments that make a season of life feel like yours.

From barefoot maternity sessions beside a North Georgia river and golden evenings in the mountains to quiet newborn mornings, adventurous family sessions and editorial senior portraits, each experience is intentionally shaped around beautiful locations, natural emotion and genuine connection. I photograph families and seniors throughout Dahlonega, Cumming, Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek and the greater North Georgia and North Atlanta area, with sessions designed to feel less posed and more like stepping into a scene from your own story.

The result is imagery that feels organic, nostalgic and cinematic—photographs that don't just show what this season looked like, but bring you back to what it felt like.
