About
I’m a certified professional portrait photographer with a studio in Alpharetta, GA. I’ll help you tell a story with photos that words simply fail to tell. The way I see it, photographs are an expression of how we want to be seen or remembered. As your photographer, I want to give you images that are just what you’re looking for and that you’ll love, worthy of sharing or displaying. My job is to make you comfortable and to see you overjoyed with the experience!
Meet Mo Lima, CPP
I’d stop in my tracks to admire something beautiful (at times, much to the dismay of my husband). I’m a big cheerleader of beauty, finding it in simple things, appreciating unique beauty in the people around me, and showing beauty through my photography.
Once upon a time, I was an art student and enjoyed creating beautiful paintings. But as an adult, I found myself in the corporate world working as an online marketing manager in a fortune 100 company. I gained invaluable experience in marketing strategies and developed a keen understanding of the importance of brand image. Though I enjoyed digital marketing strategy, I missed the creativity of art. That creativity has since reincarnated itself as a love of photography.
Photos evoke emotion, inspire, and uniquely communicate a message or moment in time. They help us to remember the small or big things that might otherwise be overlooked. I'll see the beauty in you at a deep level and change the way you think about how you look in photographs.
Everyone should have professional photos they can be proud of, whether it’s for online use, or to display in their homes and offices. I make it easy for you to admire your beautiful photos, use them for your social media, hang them on your walls, keep them in a portfolio, or pass them on for generations. Together, we’ll capture what makes you unique.

Now, I’ve got some questions for you—
Is there something stopping you from getting in front of the camera?
Whether it’s not knowing what to wear, not knowing how to pose, body shyness, or feeling unphotogenic, trust me, clients feel and look amazing once my team gets a hold of them. I’m an expert at helping my clients feel comfortable and even getting them to have fun!
Wondering why you’d need professional portrait photos?
Yes, you’ve got plenty of photos on your phone, but when was the last time you were professionally photographed? How many recent photos do you own that you love? Something that you can really, really keep or gift? My portrait sessions make you feel special and they’re portraits that tell the story of you--not just for you, but also for your family to come.
Not clear how business branding photos help your professional image?
Photography tells an important, strategic story about you! Whether you’re an entrepreneur, author, run a blog, or are in the arts, you ARE a brand. Don’t let some other outlet tell your story. Take control of how people see you and make a bold impression that the world can't miss.
Think you don’t need to display photos of yourself?
The truth is you may feel like you’re not ready to get professional photos you can display. Perhaps those snapshots you’ve had in the past make you feel “less than.” But it doesn’t matter how old you are, what size you are, or what you look like; I’ve been a photographer for years, and my sessions are meant to make you look and feel your absolute best. I want you to be proud of your beautiful photos. Your family and close friends want to see (and have) photos of you!

A Portrait Isn’t A Portrait Until It’s Printed
Digitals are nice, momentarily. But how often do you forget to print before the technology changes, or you lose those memorable digitals, or find out that the image quality isn’t very good.
I promise that in 5 or 10 years when digital formats change (and they will), the archival-quality portrait prints from my studio will be priceless. Photos offer an entirely different experience when they’re printed.

Portraits
They say, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” I’ve always felt that photography's obligation is to make you behold the beauty. Find out about classic studio portraits.
Business Brand
Entrepreneurs and creatives need to have their brand vision interpreted by them, not by others. Craft your brand and how people see you. I’ll help you take control of your profile images.
