ABOUT US

“paper planes” was born out of a love of life and the opportunities to capture it. we are Jim and Gina Towson and we live in the fabulous town of Athens, Georgia. We live in a tiny house that is as old as both our ages combined plus a quarter century. We have been married since 2009 and enjoy life together. we are constantly learning about ourselves and each other and that is the most fun thing about marriage. we are in love with Jesus and we are so happy that He loves us too.

we enjoy meeting new people and that is one of our favorite parts of photography. getting to know new couples and taking pictures that reflect all we have learned is why we are in the business. our goal is to produce photos that illustrate the joy, personality and excitement of every celebration we take part in.
