Cecilia: 8 Days Old | Baton Rouge, Louisiana Newborn Portrait Photographer

February 6, 2025

This tiny little 8 day old baby girl came to the studio back in August for her first portrait session. She was such a dainty little one and was so much fun to get to photograph. We used lots of florals in shades of pinks and purples and added some beautiful lace accents to make her session perfectly girly. She slept so well and even flashed a couple of smiles for me so I call that a win! Here are a few of my favorites from sweet Cecilia’s newborn session….

Gianna: 1 Year Old | Baton Rouge, Louisiana Newborn and Baby Photographer

January 24, 2025

My sweet friend Gianna came to the studio for her final JOY Plan session back in August. This was such a bittersweet session! Not only have I LOVED getting to see her grow during her first year, I have loved getting to hang out with her mama since she was still pregnant with this little one. (Make sure to scroll to the very bottom to see an extra special progression setup with Gianna and her mama!) This little lady was so much fun for her session and definitely gave us a little workout with her adventurous (ahem…wild) spirit. 😉 She has the most beautiful smile and I’m pretty sure I smiled the whole time I was editing her session. Here are some of my favorites from her 1 year session as well as a couple of progression setups throughout the year…

Isaac: 6 Months Old | New Orleans, LA Baby Plan Photographer

January 20, 2025

My buddy Isaac came back to the studio for his second JOY Plan session! He has changed SO much in the past 6 months and it’s so fun to get to see how his little personality is developing. This sweet boy sure does love his mama and daddy and saves his best smiles for them, but I’m lucky he shared a few of them with me during his session. I can’t believe I’ll be photographing him as a 1 year old very soon! For now, here are a few of my favorites from his 6 month session….

Olivia: 9 Days Old | Baton Rouge, LA Newborn Photographer

January 20, 2025

I got to meet another one of my brand new JOY Plan babies back in August for her newborn portrait session. She was SUCH a little doll! We styled her session with shades of purples and pinks and added lots of feminine floral touches to as many setups as we could! Olivia was the sleepiest little one for her session and showed off lots of smiles and sweet expressions during her naps. 🙂 Here are a few of my favorites from her newborn session…

Caizen: 6 Weeks Old | New Orleans, LA Newborn Photographer

January 18, 2025

I got to meet and photograph this sweet guy when he was 6 weeks old but still super tiny and sleepy. 🙂 Caizen’s mama chose my Petite Newborn Session option so we kept him swaddled for his setups and let him take a cozy little nap while we put him in lots of different setups styled with shades of greens and blues. Because he slept SO well, we were able to get through quite a bit during his session. 🙂 Here are a few of my favorites…..
