Dunson Family / Downtown Atlanta & Georgia Tech Campus Portraits

This is our 6th year shooting for the Dunsons, and every time, it’s an honor and a pleasure! They actually have a daughter as well, but she’s in another state pursuing her call there, so she’s unfortunately not photographed here, but they’re a stunning family of 5 that we adore! We’ve always had much respect for them, but the more we get to know them, the more our respect grows. They’re amazing pastors who live out what they preach. They’re not ones to be “too busy” to answer your texts, and they genuinely love and care for those around them. Their love is so evident in their children… so much that I wonder if they know how much they inspire us as parents too?

We were actually supposed to do this shoot at Piedmont Park, but omg… to make a long story short, there was a “pop up” concert that was happening right before their shoot that all of a sudden got announced over social media, and it caused chaos in that area. So, we had to make a last minute change to the GA Tech campus location. We felt awful, but they were so patient and understanding about it and assured us that it’s ok. As you all know, things happen in life, but what stands us apart is how you react to those obstacles. Some could react with frustration and disbelief, but they chose not to do that. They chose to face the problem with grace, and we appreciated that so much. And guess what? They still got amazing photos because in the end, beautiful people make beautiful photos (well, and great light lol).

Darius + Melba, we thank you for this annual tradition, and we hope that it continues! We hope to keep in contact with you as you pursue new endeavors, and that God will be the center and reason for everything that you do. May He bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you His favor and give you His peace. ~Numers 6:24-26

With much love,

Craig + Unchong
