Warm, unhurried portrait sessions and hand-finished artwork made to live in your home, and be passed down to the people who come next.
Every session I photograph is built around a single belief: photographs are meant to be seen every day. Framed on your walls. Opened on your coffee table. Held in your hands and pulled off the shelf when your children want to see themselves. No more digging through a hard drive or doom scrolling the camera roll to enjoy these moments again. Together we'll create real, tangible artwork made to live in your home and grow with your family year after year.
My philosophy is simple. You work hard being a mom and parent (or preparing to be one) so let me take care of you this time. You deserve it! I'll be there every step of the way to guide you. This is a place where babies and children take the lead. With thoughtful guidance, we'll follow their lead to capture authentic moments that truly tell your family story. No awkward posing or forced smiles here. Just pure love!
With almost two decades of raising three girls of my own, years as an elementary school teacher, and almost a decade behind the camera, I know how to let kids be kids. Your session is paced to your family's rhythm. I give the little ones room to play, the parents room to breathe, and every detail is handled so you can be fully present with your people.
Every session is designed around the artwork you'll choose. The prints you pass around the table. The albums your kids will pull from the shelf for years to come. The framed portraits that catch your eye every morning on the way to the kitchen. We design these pieces together to fit the style and needs of your family. The ones you choose are what live with your family, long after this season has passed.
It's session day! Come as you are. This is the where all our planning ahead pays off. Now you get to show up calm, relaxed and confident, ready to enjoy this moment with the people you love most. I'll handle the direction, light and making sure your getting exactly what you dreamed of.
Every session starts with a conversation. After you inquire, we'll spend a few minutes talking through your dreams for your session and what matters most in this season. Together we'll plan all the details that matter so nothing feels overwhelming or stressful. From personalized styling assistance, scheduling and location options, we'll finalize the details so nothing important is forgotten.
Around 2-3 weeks after your session we'll meet again to view your gallery together. There you'll select your images and order the artwork you want to bring home. I'll walk you through the selection and design process so nothing feels overwhelming. From custom framed wall art to heirloom albums, and fine art prints to digital archive collections, there's something for everyone. The most important piece is that you walk away with what fits your needs and how you want to remember this season 10 years from now.

Louisiana weather is unpredictable, and I've never once let it ruin a session. I'll be
watching the weather closely the week leading up to your session. If storms are in the
forecast we'll reschedule together for the next available date that works for both of us.
Occasionally I'll reschedule a session if it's severely cloudy. My style of photography loves a
lot of light and too much cloud coverage isn't going to get you the images you're expecting
from me. Either way, no worries and no ruined session.
Yes, for collections and products. Payments are split into 3 equal payments, but the
session fees are due at booking. Once your balance is paid in full, products will be ordered
then delivered once they arrive.
