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

April 7, 2025

Sweet Kennedy is one of my JOY Plan members! I got to meet her for the very first time back in January of 2024 when she came to see me for her newborn portraits. This little lady is quite the fighter and had already had heart surgery by the time she made it to my studio. 🙂 She was just the BEST little model then and at all of her sessions since then! Her 1 year session was so different – absolutely perfect with the sweetest smiles! Make sure you scroll to the end to see one of her progression pictures that we did at each of her sessions. 🙂 Here are a few of my favorites from this session…..

Peter: 6 Months Old | Baton Rouge, LA Newborn and Baby Photographer

April 6, 2025

My sweet friend Peter came back to visit me again in December for a session celebrating all of his 6 month milestones! He is just the absolute sweetest and was so much fun to photograph again! His mama brought two sweet outfits for him to wear for this session and he brought his best sweet smiles to match those blue eyes! Here are a few of my favorites from Peter’s 6 month session…

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…
