I'm Gretchen

The last two times I could remember having my picture taken of just "me" were when I was 18 during my senior year of high school and on my wedding day. Since I was 25, I've had a camera in my hands taking pictures of everyone else. I've always loved photography and for the last 10 years it's become a rapidly growing business that I am beyond proud to call Gretchen Cowart Photography.

I specialize in Childhood Portraits . After having my own kids this became even more important to me. They grow so fast and being little soon becomes a memory. I take pride in capturing "real life" images of children just being themselves. 15 years of teaching has taught me patience and the understanding that we are on "their terms." This is when I sing, dance and do whatever it takes to get that perfect smile. Besides children, I photograph weddings, seniors, motherhood/maternity, and families.

Outside of photography I am a wife to my husband Brandon, mother to Cohen and Colyer and my 4 legged son Chip (best dog ever). I am an elementary school teacher in Hahira, Ga. I know what you are thinking! How does she juggle it all? Well, it is a constant balancing act. My family is super supportive and I have more energy for life than I know what to do with! So, I try to do it ALL! I love being outside, the beach and watching my boys do what they love.

I look forward to getting to know you! Thank you to all my friends and family who have encouraged me to chase my dreams.
