The Scholar with a Camera!
At The Scholar with a Camera Photography, we don’t just take pictures—we honor legacies.
And for the women of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, that legacy is rich, powerful, and deeply inspiring.
As Atlanta’s go-to portrait studio for African American professionals and creatives, we specialize in creating portraits that reflect who you are, what you’ve achieved, and the sisterhood you represent.
Your Legacy Deserves to Be Seen
Since 1908, Alpha Kappa Alpha has been a beacon of excellence, sisterhood, and service. Every member carries that torch—and that deserves to be captured in portraits that shine with pride, power, and poise.
Your letters represent history. Your portraits should too.
Celebrate Your Milestones in Style
Whether you’ve just crossed, are celebrating your AKAversary, or reuniting with your line sisters, a portrait session is the perfect way to mark the moment.
These aren’t just photos—they’re heirlooms. They tell your story. They honor your journey. They uplift your legacy.
Show Up for Your Sisters and Your Story
Imagine stepping into your classroom, office, or home and seeing a beautifully framed image of you, glowing in pink and green, radiating confidence and pride.
That image becomes more than décor—it’s a daily affirmation of your worth, your history, and the sisterhood you stand with.
Create With Joy and Intention
At The Scholar with a Camera, sessions are more than professional—they’re personal.
We listen to your favorite music, we laugh, we vibe—and together, we create portraits that are joyful, stress-free, and full of personality. That’s our promise: fun, family, and faithfulness in every frame.
