Cove: 11 Days Old | Baton Rouge, LA Newborn Portrait Session

February 23, 2025

Sweet 11 day old Cove came to the studio for her first portrait session back in September. 🙂 Her mama chose my Petite Newborn Session option so I planned out some super sweet swaddled setups based on colors that her mama asked me to use. She couldn’t have been any sweeter! She tried her hardest to stay awake for part of her session but ended up having a quick nap while I posed her in different props and sets. 🙂 I just adore how sweet and feminine her images turned out. Here are a few of my favorites…

Kennedy | Baton Rouge, Louisiana Maternity Photographer

February 18, 2025

I had the most fun maternity portrait session back in September with this gorgeous couple! Kennedy is absolutely glowing as a mama-to-be and she just looked stunning in every look that we did. We started the session with one of the studio collection’s more glamorous black gowns which fit Kennedy perfectly! We then swapped to a more chic light blue fabric for some dramatic tossed fabric looks. We then did some pictures in Kennedy’s jeans and white button down shirt (one of my favorite looks for maternity sessions!) and then ended with a nude colored tulle robe. Kennedy was amazing through the whole session – and dad wasn’t too bad either. 😉 Here are some of my favorites from their session….

Jenesis: 2 Months Old | Denham Springs, LA Newborn and Baby Photographer

February 14, 2025

I got to meet this little doll when she was 2 months old! I feel like most people think this is “too late” for newborn pictures and “too young” for baby pictures. But…..you guys….you can capture beautiful pictures of your little ones at ANY age! This age is such a sweet spot for getting some adorable wide awake shots showing off their brand new personality mixed in with a few minutes of sweet napping. Miss Jenesis was just absolutely perfect for her session. Here are a few of my favorites that we were able to capture…

Arkeia | New Orleans, Louisiana Maternity Portrait Session

February 13, 2025

This gorgeous mama came to the studio back in September. She was a natural in front of the camera and was so easy to photograph. Arkeia chose one of my studio gowns in an emerald green to start with – which looked gorgeous on her! And then she chose two different tossing fabrics that we played around with to give some different, fun looks. Be on the lookout in the coming weeks for her little one’s newborn session that I photographed a few months ago as well. 🙂 Here are a few of my favorites from her maternity session…

Katherin | Baton Rouge, Louisiana Maternity Session

February 11, 2025

This gorgeous couple came to the studio back at the end of August for a maternity portrait session! They were so much fun to work with and, despite the amount of serious expressions you see here, we were laughing through most of the session. 😉 We started the session with a beautiful emerald green gown that Katherin chose from my studio collection that looked absolutely stunning on her. Then we did some simple, classic pictures with jeans and a slouchy button down shirt. We finished the session with a “wet look” which looked so chic and glamorous! (I’m so glad Katherin requested this look because it was so much fun getting to try something different.) Here are a few of my favorites from their maternity session…
