Natalie | Baton Rouge, Louisiana Fine Art Maternity Photographer

April 1, 2025

I had the honor of photographing this gorgeous mama for the second time back in November. As you can see, she is absolutely stunning and is so easy to photograph! I LOVE the looks that she chose for this session so much – not sure I could even choose a favorite if I had to. Big brother (one of my past newborns) stopped by to jump in for a few pictures and was just the cutest! Stay tuned for pictures of his new baby brother that I got to photograph in January! For now, here are some of my favorites from Natalie’s maternity session…

Cam’Ron: 26 Days Old | Denham Springs, LA Newborn Photographer

March 30, 2025

This sweet guy came to the studio back in November for a Petite Newborn Session. We swaddled him in some of my favorite shades of blues and teals and grays and he slept so well for me once I got him nice and settled. He was such an easy baby to work with and I’m so happy with the images we were able to create for his mama. 🙂 Here are a few of my favorites….

Sophia: 12 Days Old | New Orleans, LA Newborn Portrait Session

March 26, 2025

This is the second little one I have had the honor of photographing for this family! Sweet Sophia was such a little doll for her session! We used lots of florals accents to add with her pink, purple, and yellow setups. I get asked often if clients need to bring their own headbands for baby girl sessions – absolutely not! I have lots of them to choose from, as well as a big collection of bonnets and swaddles as well. Miss Sophia’s mama chose my Petite Newborn Session option so we kept her swaddled throughout to keep her nice and sleepy to get through as many setups as possible. Here are a few of my favorites….

Abby: 10 Days Old | Baton Rouge, Louisiana Newborn and Baby Photographer

March 24, 2025

This bright eyed little lady came to the studio back in November for her newborn session! Isn’t she just a doll?! She was quite the alert little one and gave me so many sweet awake shots but I did manage to get her to sleep for a few swaddled setups as well. 🙂 Her big sister, who I also photographed as a newborn, was just the sweetest with her – a little intimidated but still SO sweet with her. We used soft pinks, greens, and neutrals for her session and I just adore how they all coordinated so well together. Abby’s mama signed her up for my JOY Plan so I get to photograph her again next month! I can’t wait to see how much she’s already grown. 🙂 Here are a few of my favorites from her newborn session…

Jay: 16 Days Old | New Orleans, LA Newborn Portrait Photographer

March 16, 2025

This sweet guy’s mama and I got to create some beautiful maternity portraits while she was pregnant with Jay so I was even more excited to get to meet him! He was just the sweetest little one – a great sleeper and even gave me a couple of sweet smiles. 🙂 I loved all of the shades of blue that we used for his session and how sweetly he settled into every pose I put him in. He has a big sister who is absolutely smitten with him and I know they are going to grow up to be just the best of friends. Here are a few of my favorites from his newborn session…
