About Summerhill
Summerhill is one of Atlanta’s historic neighborhoods, and its mural scene has grown over the years through the Living Walls program, which began creating murals there in 2013, per Google Arts and Culture. Today, Georgia Avenue and the surrounding blocks are lined with bold, colorful artwork.
What Summerhill Looks Like in Photos
- Colorful murals. Large, bright walls make bold backdrops that feel fun and full of energy.
- Public art and textured walls. Painted brick, patterns and artwork add variety as you walk.
- City streets. Sidewalks and storefronts give your photos a lively, urban feel.
Planning Your Summerhill Engagement Photos
- Plan around the light. Soft morning or evening light keeps colors rich and faces glowing.
- Pick a comfortable season. Spring, fall and winter are the most comfortable times for outdoor portraits in Atlanta. In summer, we recommend an indoor location.
- Consider a weekday. From Monday through Thursday, popular spots tend to be quieter, and weekday outdoor sessions include complimentary rescheduling for inclement weather, per our weather policy.
- Check with businesses. Some murals are on private buildings, so we keep sessions respectful of the businesses and neighbors around them.
- Plan a backup. Weekend sessions happen rain or shine, so pair this spot with an indoor option from our indoor portrait locations guide.
