A Creative Photo by Nicole Averette Hi there! Thanks for being here! I'm a life long shutter bug, taking photos on my dad's 35MM Pentax camera since I was a kid.

Fun fact, my dad later gave me that same camera and renewed my love of film so don't be surprised when I whip out a 40 year old camera to snap some pics at your session! I love to capture people in beautiful places. Catching that perfect shot gets me so excited that I can barely wait to send your sneak peek and will usually start texting you screenshots before I've even seen all the photos! Photography has been a life-long love & I hope every client sees that in the images I deliver.

Sometimes the backup plan turns out to be the better story.

Aileen had envisioned sunflowers for her maternity session, but after this summer’s South Louisiana drought had other ideas, we moved to the rose garden at LSU Burden Gardens instead.

And considering the little girl they’re waiting to meet is named Maya Rose, I’d say we ended up exactly where we were supposed to be.

Soft morning light, blooming roses, Chase + Aileen soaking in these last weeks before becoming parents—and, of course, Stella making sure she was included in the family portraits before her promotion to big sister.
This is everything I love about maternity photography: beautiful portraits, yes, but also documenting what your family looks and feels like right before everything changes.

Maya Rose, you are already so very loved.

A little late getting these June headshots of Avery onto the feed, but they deserved their moment. 🖤

Headshots don’t have to mean stiff poses, gray backdrops and “corporate.” They can have personality. They can feel polished and editorial while still looking like you.

Avery made that part pretty easy.

We kept this set simple—a black backdrop, beautiful light, a killer outfit and a mix of clean color and timeless black + white portraits. The result feels modern, confident and just a little bit fashion-forward.

If your current headshot doesn’t feel like the person you are anymore, it might be time for a new one.

They're officially cover dogs. 🐶🐶

The August issue of Stroll Jefferson Place–Bocage is arriving in mailboxes, and I'm excited to finally share a peek behind this session with Sugar, Honey, and the Lemann family.

From backyard playtime to quiet moments on the couch, this gallery was all about capturing the love between a family and the dogs who are every bit a part of it.

These are the moments I'll always chase.

If you're in Jefferson Place or Bocage, check your mailbox—you may have already received this month's issue!

A rainy day in New Orleans turned into one of my favorite engagement sessions.

We wandered the quiet streets of the French Quarter, embraced the rain instead of running from it, then ended the day tucked inside a vintage Marigny Airbnb creating images that felt timeless, romantic, and completely authentic to them

Proof that the "perfect" weather isn't what makes a session unforgettable.

It's the people. It's the story. It's the way you choose to celebrate this season together.

If you're dreaming of an engagement session that's less about posing and more about creating memories, let's make it happen.

His favorite place isn't the dock.

Or the blanket.

Or even chasing the next adventure.

It's wherever she's standing. 🤍🐾

One of my favorite things about photographing people is getting to tell the stories of the relationships that mean the most to them—and for so many of us, that includes the four-legged family members who are with us through every season of life.

If you've been thinking about including your dog in your next family session, this is your sign. They're part of your story, too.

Swipe to fall in love with this sweet family!

Golden light, giggles on a blanket, and the kind of love you can physically feel when you’re around a family.

This session at LSU Hilltop Arboretum was one of those evenings that reminded me exactly why I love photographing families the way I do — relaxed, connected, joyful, and full of movement.

And can we talk about mom’s styling for a second?

Absolute perfection. The soft florals, neutrals, textures, and tiny details all came together so beautifully without ever feeling overdone. Every frame felt timeless.

Forever one of my favorite family sessions.

From dance recitals to senior portraits… and now she’s headed to California.

I’ve known Mikayla since she was 5 years old, so when her mom called and said she wanted a California-inspired senior session for her upcoming move to UC Irvine, my response was simple: “say less.”

We leaned all the way into the vibe — palm trees, shopping bags, soft sunshine, editorial moments, and just enough old Hollywood energy to make it feel like she already belongs there. Somewhere between Baton Rouge and the West Coast dream, these images became the perfect celebration of who she is right now: confident, creative, elegant, and stepping into such a beautiful new season.

UC Irvine is getting a good one. ✨

Swipe ➡️ for Destanee, Wyatt, & Bud's sweet family session!

Warm light, big laughs, and the kind of love that includes muddy paws and wagging tails.

Some sessions just feel easy — playful, genuine, and full of the little in-between moments that matter most. From sweet snuggles to joyful chaos, this one was such a beautiful reminder that family photos should feel like you… pups included.

Because the best love stories are often told with four legs, happy hearts, and a whole lot of laughter.
