Studio 668, Atlanta

It's not every photographer who can list National Geographic on their resume, but Don Sparks has that distinction. He worked there as a photographer/editor at the young age of 22, eventually leaving to expand his skill set within various photo studios across D.C.. At Boudoir Photography of Atlanta, Sparks channels two decades of experience into one role: boudoir photographer. But while his style may be singular, his sessions are never stagnant. Each one is tailored to suit varying comfort levels and any food allergies that prevent the saying of "cheese." They feature custom backgrounds—from solid-colored backdrops to a tulle-festooned bed—and lighting that minimizes imperfections. The result is a saucy, powerful image that clients can treasure for years to come.
