Drake: 12 Days Old | Denham Springs, LA Newborn and Baby Photographer

February 26, 2024

I met this sweet guy’s mama back in August at her maternity portrait session. She was so sweet and so much fun to photograph that I couldn’t WAIT to meet this little guy! Drake was absolutely perfect for his session and slept so well for me! We styled his session with deep greens and blues with some rustic accents and I just adore how he looked in every single setup. 🙂 Drake is another one of my JOY Plan members so get ready to see lots of pictures of him during his first year. Here are a few of my favorites from his newborn session….

Evangeline: 7 Days Old | Baton Rouge, LA Newborn Portrait Session

February 26, 2024

I got to photograph this tiny little doll back in October when she was just one week old. She was the absolute sweetest and was so good for her session! We styled her session with some soft greens, lavenders, and neutrals. AND, since her due date was so close to Halloween, we added in a few “halloween-ish” inspired setups. 🙂 Here are some of my favorites from her session….

Bertha | New Orleans, LA Maternity Portrait Session

February 26, 2024

Here I am….trying to catch up on blogging sessions again! 😉 I got to meet this gorgeous mama back in October for her maternity portrait session. She chose some of my most FAVORITE gowns from the studio collection for her session and each one looked so perfect on her! Bertha was a complete natural in front of the camera and made it so easy to photograph her. We even let dad and big sister hop in for a few shots as well. 😉 Here are some of my favorites from Bertha’s maternity session….

Georgia: 2 Months Old | New Orleans, LA Newborn Portrait Session

February 12, 2024

Sweet Georgia, or “Gigi”, as she’s been nicknamed came to hang out with me at the studio back in October for her first portrait session! She was an absolute DOLL with those beautiful big eyes! I had fully prepared myself that she would be awake for her session since she is older than my typical “newborn” and she was….for a while. 😉 Then she decided to take a sweet little nap and let me pose her however I wanted! I love all of the added “squish” of an older baby and it just made her pictures that much sweeter! Here are some of my favorites from Miss Georgia’s session….

Maggie: 3 Months Old | Baton Rouge, LA Baby Photographer

February 12, 2024

Sweet Maggie! Was a little doll she is! I photographed this sweet girl when she was right around 3 months old and she was so much fun! Just look at those adorable expressions she gave me! I let her play and have a good time for a little while until she finally got a little bit sleepy. Then I swaddled her up nice and cozy and captured some sweet, sleepy shots. 3 months is such a fun (and unpredictable!) age to photograph a baby! I think more people should consider doing sessions at this age. Babies have that sweet little personality showing at this age but still have the sleepiness of a newborn too. 🙂 Here are some of my favorites from Miss Maggie’s session….
