Adoption Photography Gonzales Louisiana | Baby Colton   Helen Keller once said, “All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.” By that measure, Colton has always, always been a part of this family–even before they met for the very first time. He’ll never remember a time when he didn’t belong to Charles and Kayla. […]

Adoption Photography Baton Rouge Colton 15

Adoption Photography Baton Rouge | Colton   I can still remember this day, with crystal-clear clarity. We were all newly fumbling our way through the pandemic, and all of the chaos it was causing in our daily lives. Then, I got a call – a sweet family had gotten some incredible news. They were going […]

Baton Rouge candid family photography

Candid family photography is one of my specialties. I cannot overstate how passionate I am about documenting a family’s memories and the people in them just as they are. The thing about parenting is that it is completely exhausting, you guys. Sometimes it feels like all you’re ever doing as a parent is reacting to […]

Adoption photography is something that I don’t get to do often. And, because there are often complications involved with showing images of an adopted child online, I get to show these sessions even less often! So, needless to say, I was very excited when this family allowed me to share their story. I’d previously photographed […]

This lifestyle family photography session is one of the most emotional ones I’ve ever photographed. When my client contacted me with their story, I knew right away that I just had to work with this family. Her mother had recently been diagnosed with cancer, and it had been a rocky year for them all. They […]

Why have I never done a family photography session at Perkins Rowe before, y’all?! When Ariyeil contacted me about photographing a generational family session for her, we needed to brainstorm on locations. Because her baby girl was still a teeny tiny little bit, we needed somewhere cool and shady. Photographing in the middle of the […]

I always feel privileged to document a day in the life of a family, but especially so when a fellow photographer trusts me with their family photography session. So, when Jennifer asked me to come spend the day with her husband and their three children, I was all in! We spent the day just documenting […]

Baton Rouge Family Photographer Day in the Life of the Rogers Family 5

I’m so excited to show off one of my favorite family photography sessions today. I met Katie when I photographed her wedding a few years ago, now, and I knew immediately that we were going to be friends. And, sure enough – here we are years later, having not only remained in touch and talking […]

Baton Rouge family photography is one of my all-time favorite things to photograph – and these guys are some of my all-time favorite subjects!   So, naturally, when mom Katie (a fellow photographer herself, over at KVR Photography) asked me to photograph their family for the day, I was all over it! People ask me, “What should […]

Baton Rouge Family Photographer – The Eckerts “When you find people who not only cherish your quirks, but celebrate them with glad cries of, “Me too!” – be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.” Now, it may sound strange to hear me term a new-client-turned-instant-friend as a weirdo, but if you know […]
