What began as a one-woman venture born from creativity and determination has grown into one of metro Atlanta’s most dynamic photography and videography teams. Jessica Griggs founded LaRuche Photo in 2016 after years behind the camera in the wedding industry, channeling her passion for storytelling into real estate and corporate imagery. During the pandemic, as digital tools became essential, Griggs expanded the company’s offerings and client base. Soon after, Chris Griggs — an Atlanta native and longtime creative in marketing and branding — joined her, blending his background in art direction with her visionary style. Together, they’ve built a thriving business that captures Atlanta’s growth and character through every frame.
LaRuche Photo’s philosophy is simple — quality, consistency and connection. From polished headshots and builder portfolios to aerial community showcases, the duo’s work reflects professionalism and personality. Clients describe the pair as responsive, easygoing and relentlessly dedicated to excellence. Their approachable nature, quick turnaround times and attention to detail have made them trusted partners to Realtors, builders and businesses. The pair leads a tight-knit team of photographers, videographers, drone operators and editors who share their enthusiasm and collaborative energy.
Active members of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association, the Cobb Association of Realtors, the Northeast Atlanta Metro Association of Realtors and multiple chambers of commerce, the Griggses are recipients of the OBIE Award and two consecutive Best of Georgia Awards for Best Real Estate Photographer. Their redesigned website marks the next chapter in their company’s evolution.
Outside of their creative pursuits, the Griggses stay grounded through family, biking, hiking and impromptu weekend adventures, often with cameras in hand. They also sponsor and volunteer for the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association, ensuring that LaRuche Photo remains as involved as it is creative.
