THE WILD ONES: PAINT EDITION 🎨

Y'all. We're doing something different.

This isn't a "everyone smile and hold still" kind of session. This is the opposite of that.

Bring your kids outside, hand them paint, and let them absolutely go off — on a canvas, on a white sheet, on each other if that's where the moment takes them. No posing. No "say cheese." Just real, loud, messy, full-body creativity while I document every second of it.

This is what childhood actually looks like. I'm not staging it — I'm bearing witness to it.

🖌️ 45 minutes of pure chaos and creation
💵 $100 creative fee — includes 5 digital images
📸 Additional digitals and products available to purchase after
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Whole family welcome — the messier, the better

Spots are limited because I want to actually be present for each family, not rushing through a list.

Book now at www.MatriarchEffect.com under Contact, or comment WILD and I'll get you the link. Let's make something real.

15 years. Hundreds of weddings. And I finally made the pricing make sense. 👇

✔️ Hourly rates — ceremony only, reception only, or both
✔️ Payment plans so the cost doesn’t hit all at once
✔️ Kids Digital Camera packages (cutest add-on you didn’t know you needed)

No fluff. Just real coverage of your real day. DM me to talk about your date. 💌

What season of life are you in right now?

New mama. Empty nester. Somewhere in between.

I ask because the season you're in is exactly the one I want to photograph. Not the highlight reel — the real thing.

Drop your season in the comments.

I'm going to be real with you for a second.

March knocked me flat. I lost someone important to me and I went quiet — my camera, my business, everything.

But grief doesn't mean it's over. It just means you have to find your way back.

I'm finding my way back.

If you've ever needed photos but kept putting it off — waiting until you lose the weight, until the kids are older, until life slows down — I want you to hear this: the season you're in right now is the one worth documenting.

I have June sessions available. Let's make something that lasts.

Still here. Still shooting.

March was heavy. Life happened. But I'm back with my camera and I have June slots open — and I want to fill them with the right people.

If you've been sitting on a session idea, this is your sign.

The $80 Her. intro experience is still available — 25 minutes, 5 private images, zero judgment. Only a few slots left.

Drop a heart in the comments or DM me. Let's make something real.

[📸 CREATIVE CALL: THE WHITE ROOM SERIES // THIS WEEKEND ONLY]

DeRidder—I have a specific artistic vision I’m bringing to life this Memorial Day weekend, and I’m looking for a limited number of faces to help me execute it.

I am opening up The White Room for a high-end, minimalist, editorial-style creative call. No heavy props, no distractions. Just crisp white textures, incredible natural light, and raw, authentic storytelling.

I am looking for:
✨ Mamas + their littles (cozy, chaotic, beautiful connection)
✨ Couples (raw, intimate, lifestyle vibes)
✨ Individuals/Muses (celebrating yourself, modern portraiture)

Because this is a specific creative project to build out this style, I am dropping the investment to a fraction of my usual rate for this weekend only.

⚡ THE DETAILS:

Investment: $80 flat (due upfront to lock in your time slot)

When: This Friday, Saturday, & Sunday (Memorial Weekend)

Includes: A fast-paced, high-energy 15-minute studio session + 5 fully edited digital images of your choice.

Styling: Neutrals, knits, denims, or whites only to match the aesthetic. (Note: This is a client-ready session—come hair and makeup ready!)

💎 Love more than 5 images? Don't worry—you will have the opportunity to purchase additional digital files or gorgeous physical products directly from your viewing gallery if you decide you want more!

Only a handful of slots are available for this project. If you want to be a part of this series and grab a luxury session at a flash-sale price, comment "WHITE ROOM" below or DM me right now with who you'd bring!

Legacy isn’t just what you leave behind—it’s who you hold close. 🖤

A powerful, tender moment of safety, sacrifice, and pure love.
