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!

Elaina is four years old and she plays with her whole entire soul. 🖤

Kayce is one and he sees the world like it's brand new — because it finally is.

These two showed up to the park and gave me everything. Elaina went down every slide, explored every corner, and felt the sunshine on her face like she had nowhere else to be and nothing else to do. Kayce stayed close to mama, investigated the playground mulch with very serious dedication, and pointed out every single kid on that playground like he wanted to make sure I didn't miss a thing.

What their mama shared with me about who these two are — what they've been through, what she's desperately trying to memorize about this exact season — I couldn't stop thinking about it the whole drive home.

I wrote their story. It's on the blog now and I think you need to read it.

This is The Park. A brand new Wild Ones session format — your kids, a real playground, no posing, no direction. Just them being exactly who they are while I follow along and bear witness.

If you have a wild one at home and you've been thinking about doing something like this — this is your sign. These seasons go so fast. 🌿

Drop a 🖤 below if this is your kid or send me a message to get on the schedule. → https://www.matriarcheffect.com/wild-ones
