Karla | New Orleans, Louisiana Maternity Session

April 5, 2025

I got to photograph this gorgeous mama back in December! She was just so much fun to work with and was absolutely beautiful in all of the looks she chose from the studio collection. We started with a beaded ivory gown and the moved to some more dramatic looks with one of the satin tossing fabrics in white. We ended the session with a light blue tulle gown – one of my favorites! I got to photograph Karla’s brand new little one last month so be on the lookout for lots of pictures of him over the next year as one of my JOY Plan clients! Here are a few of my favorites from Karla’s maternity session…

Praigh’Lee and Princeton: 22 Days Old | Baton Rouge, LA Newborn Twins Photographer

April 3, 2025

Look at these two cuties I got to photograph back in December! They were just the sweetest!! Praigh’Lee thought all of the setups I had planned out for them looked super cozy and decided to take a great nap for me. Princeton, on the other hand, decided he was too curious to sleep and tried his best to keep an eye on me the whole time. 😉 Since their session was a couple of weeks before Christmas we, of course, had to add in a few Christmas-y setups as well. 🙂 Here are a few of my favorites from their session…

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….
