Hammond Louisiana Documentary Wedding Photography E and N 17

I knew I was going to love Elizabeth and Nathanael from the moment we first discussed booking their wedding photography. Elizabeth let me know from the get-go how important the […]

Baton Rouge Documentary Family Photography The Foret Family 5

Somewhere, in a field in Baton Rouge Louisiana, a little magic happened during this family session, this day. Sometimes we spend a lot of time trying to make a family photography session “perfect”, when in reality things needs very little intervention! The rise of Pinterest trends makes us think that we need a lot of […]

Louisiana Documentary Wedding Photography Alyssa and Cameron 35

Gonzales Louisiana Wedding Photography | Alyssa and Cameron Alyssa and Cameron’s wedding was pure magic, y’all. This fact will probably not be shocking to their friends and family reading this, because they are both spectacular people, and a true joy to be around. I don’t think I saw a single face all day that wasn’t smiling from […]

Baton Rouge Bridal Photography Hilltop Arboretum Elizabeth 7

Baton Rouge Bridal Photography at the Hilltop Arboretum Can we talk about how happy I am to FINALLY be able to share bridals of these gorgeous brides of mine? Because, hello, you don’t truly understand impatience until you photograph brides as amazing as mine. And then have to SIT on the images for weeks on end, […]

Baton Rouge Gonzales Bridal Photography Alyssa 2

Gonzales Louisiana Bridal Photography | Alyssa When I think of Alyssa, the first word that comes to mind is, “sparkle.” Which seems kinda crazy, until you actually meet Alyssa, and then you go, “Oh, yeah – ‘sparkle’. Totally makes sense.” This chick is awesome on so many levels. She’s one of those people who makes you happy just […]

How much do I love photographing an engagement session in New Orleans? Almost as much as I loved these guys. I adore photographing couples who just GO with it, y’all – and Jamie and Michael were just such a couple! The New Orleans French Quarter is an iconic spot for an engagement session, and these […]

Reine Family DITL AE 7

I absolutely could NOT have asked for a more perfect family for New Orleans Family Photography than the Reines. Katie is a fellow photographer over at KVR Photography, and she does such great work! I was so honored that she wanted to do a documentary family session with me. And we had SUCH fun doing […]

Lousiana Documentary Wedding Photographer Park 73 Gonzales 4

Parc 73 is one of my very favorite wedding photography venues in Gonzales – maybe in all of Ascension Parish! The beauty of this place is only surpassed by the staff’s attention to detail. Every time I’ve photographed there, things have been absolutely top-notch. Not the least of which is the food offerings! One of […]

Louisiana Documentary Family Photography The Smith Family 8

I think my favorite thing about Louisiana Family Photography is that there is absolutely, unequivocally no two families on this earth that are the same. Or even really very similar. Dynamics are constantly shifting – the tiniest members develop personalities with lightning speed. And as personalities develop, relationships do too. This style of photography is […]
