We're the Standridges. We live in Northeast Alabama and started Standridge Photography after adopting our firstborn, Mackenzie Jo. Photography has always been a passion of ours, but it took on a deeper meaning when we felt called to support adoption in a tangible way. Through our journey, we’ve seen firsthand the financial and emotional challenges families face in bringing their children home. We were inspired by the generosity of others and knew we wanted to pay it forward.

This is us

Giving back to adoption is at the core of Standridge Photography. We know firsthand the financial burden that comes with the adoption process, and we want to be part of the solution. That’s why a portion of every session goes directly toward adoption funds—helping families cover costs and bring their children home.

At the heart of Standridge Photography is a desire to tell stories—stories of love, waiting, and the beauty found in the journey. Whether we’re capturing the joy of a growing family, the anticipation of what’s to come, or the quiet, everyday moments that make life special, our mission remains the same: to preserve memories while making a difference. Every session is more than just a photograph—it’s a step toward helping a child come home, a way to bring light to the adoption journey, and a reminder that every chapter of your story is worth celebrating.
