Hi there! I’m Savanna, but my friends call me Sav.
Savanna Kaye is a photo + creative arts business that exists not only to capture the face of humanity, but the soul as well.
I am a love, life, and humanitarian photographer that happily calls Atlanta, GA home. People often ask me how I got my start in photography and I always like to say it was a “happy accident” — something I kind of just fell into. After years of being trusted with various opportunities, I can proudly say that that “accident” has led me to an incredibly rich + fulfilling career in the photo industry. It is truly one of my deepest honors to get a front row seat to people’s most precious moments.

The goal behind my editing technique is not to ever take away from a photograph, but simply add to it. For example, I want to enhance the golden tones in order to add more light, or simply draw more attention to faces by adding shadows, so on and so forth. Every editing decision I make is rooted in the desire to honor the subject and their story. Ultimately, I want the edit to reflect how the moment “felt.”

I like to think that photography was a “happy accident” for me. It was never something that I dreamed of doing as a little girl. If anything, the closest thing that related to me using a camera was the childhood dream of being in front of the camera (and yes, I have long graduated from that). Long story short, I bought a camera after graduating high school, and used it during my travels. I think since people saw that I had a bigger camera, they immediately assumed I was a photographer. This caused people to ask me to take their pictures. I would reluctantly agree. Well, the more I agreed, the more I was asked. And that was where my love of photography was birthed. I saw the potential of telling stories, and deeply valued the vulnerability in capturing someone. I continued to grow in my skills, having many friends that let me photograph them freely, as well as mentors that encouraged me in my developing gifts. The church was a huge role in this- for without the opportunities to serve in the ways that I did (through shooting testimony videos and taking photos during gatherings), I wouldn't be half the photographer that I am today. I officially launched my photography business in June 2017 and been running forward since then.

Yes, I do! Actually, I desire to travel. Whether you're a state away or wanting to get married halfway around the world, I would be honored to capture your special moments.
Travel fees do apply for any location that falls 50+ miles outside of Atlanta city limits.

You can always expect to have a good time. My prayer is that during your photo session, you feel most like yourself. In order to create an environment that invites that, I often play your favorite kind of music, make lots of jokes, and coach you through movements. No pressure. No fake posing. Just you, in all your glory.
