Baton Rouge Engagement Photography Same Sex Hilltop Arboretum37

Could anything possibly make me happier than a wonderful couple with whom I instantly fell in love with a gorgeous day of shooting in Baton Rouge, AND DOGS? I mean, probably – but there’d have to be a lot of effort put into it, really. Cole and Lyndsay are having a destination wedding soon. And […]

I love a good surprise proposal! When Brad recently asked me to photograph him popping the question to his girl Allison, I was ALL in! For proposal sessions, I always meet with my clients beforehand to discuss details, and come up with a plan. This makes an already-nerve-wracking event go a little bit more smoothly […]

Baton Rouge Family Photography The Wells 16

I’ve known Marissa since high school, and we’re the kind of friends who are so alike that it’s downright scary. When she asked me for a Day in the Life photography session of her family as they decorated their home for Christmas, I was all over it! This is a really special time in their […]

Baton Rouge Family Photographer | First Haircut | Weston This kid right here… He cracked me up, all day. When mom Roxana asked me to photograph Weston’s first haircut and birthday celebration, I was all in, and couldn’t wait to meet this guy.

Downtown Baton Rouge, you guys. It’s one of my very favorite locations for Baton Rouge Couples Photography sessions, and for good reason. You can park your car in one spot, and have access to so many different “looks” for your photographs. And the grounds are so iconic, filled with history and greenery depending on which […]

Baton Rouge Family Photography Highland Park 14

I was pretty excited when this mom invited me to take some images of her two littles – the family has been near and dear to me for a long time! So, when mom said she wanted some relaxed, laid back portraits of the kids, I was all over it! These two kids had a […]

Baton Rouge Family Photography Hilltop Arboretum Harrison 12

This family photography session at the Hilltop Arboretum in Baton Rouge was such a special shoot for me. Almost two years ago now, I photographed this little boy Harrison’s big brother, Kason. Kason was born a sleeping angel, and I met his parents Kendra and Jimmy through my volunteer work with Now I Lay Me […]

Baton Rouge Family Photography Life Unscripted It doesn’t get much cooler than hanging out with two fun, funky parents up for anything. And their baby girl for a few hours on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon. A lot of times, I have to talk parents into being spontaneous and going with the flow, and it’s a […]

Baton Rouge Documentary Family Photography The Wests 3

Baton Rouge family photography is one of my very favorite things in the whole wide world to photograph. I often get asked which I prefer – family photography, or weddings – and the answer is that I love both so much, I couldn’t possibly pick. Even though wedding photography and family photography seem like wildly […]

Lindsey Mateo Immaculate Conception Wolff Ballroom 42

So I’ve been sitting here for a good bit, now, trying to come up with the words to describe Lindsey and Mateo’s wedding this past weekend. At this point, I can’t do anything but conclude that I just don’t have the words at my disposal to accurately convey how absolutely awesome this entire day was. […]
