Bayou Rose Photo Wedding, family, children, and special needs photography in Baton Rouge, Ascension, and surrounding areas. That's the short and sweet version.

I'm a photographer in the south Louisiana area (who also travels), and I photograph weddings, children, families and events. I love what I do - nothing makes me happier than capturing a tiny little moment in time that will live forever as a memory on paper (assuming you get your photos printed, which you SHOULD). Just like any other story, though, who I am as a photographer is more complex than just the bare details. I could tell you what gear I shoot with, how many years I've been at it, my *favorite* thing to shoot, and whatever else you came here looking for. What I want you to know most about me, though, is the goal that I have in mind every single time I pack up my bag (okay, fine, *bags*, plural -- because I'm a horrible over-packer) before any kind of shoot:

I want you to be able to hold a memory in your hand when we're done, and I want you to have a good time creating it with me. My absolute favorite photographs are the ones which have the power to transport me back to the moment the shutter was released - I can feel the emotion in them, and that's what I want to give my clients more than anything else.

Here's what I'm *not* gonna do when I'm photographing your family session:

Put the camera down when things go "wrong."

Because the first time that baby pops her bow on her own face and learns a painful lesson real quick-like, the *first* person she looks for is you.

She looks to you because you're her center, her rock - the solver of problems, the ultimate source of snuggles and comfort--her forever port in every storm.

I want you to remember that she didn't look at me (the closest adult--in theory, a potential problem-solver), she scanned the area with tears in her eyes, and then reached for her mama, because no one else would do. She loves and trusts you that much.

There's a tiny chapter of a family's story in every session I photograph, and I want you to remember every word--so things can go "wrong" any day. ❤️

A love so big they had to do it twice! ❤️Congrats to Dana and Randy!

Bring on family photo season! (Also, I wouldn't be mad at a little nip in the air and a good ol' PSL) 😎🎃🍂

Lessons from family photo sessions:

-No one will judge you harder than the dog you rescued from life on the streets.

-Outtakes should be embraced--they are a glimpse into your daily life (and will always be included, especially if they make me snort-laugh at my desk)

-Take a page out of a toddler's book today and run around like Wile E Coyote, just for the fun of it. 🏃‍♀️

I had an interesting conversation with a potential client the other day. This couple was planning a wedding from out of state, and was nervous about booking so many vendors based solely on online research.

In this age of AI, they wondered...how could they tell who was "for real"?! Now that scammers have access to such sophisticated tools and scripts...how could they be sure they weren't giving their money to someone who wouldn't actually show up on their wedding day?

And it got me thinking.

This is such a good conversational topic, and very important to discuss. There have ALWAYS been scammers in the photography industry, even before AI. People would steal images off of established photographers' blogs and claim them as their own. They would sign up for a "styled shoot", where a knowledgeable teacher would orchestrate a shot for that person to put into their portfolio...knowing all the while that they could never reproduce it themselves, on a wedding day.

So, there's probably never going to be a "foolproof" way of researching your wedding vendors. Scammers gonna scam, after all. 🙄

BUT, I brainstormed some handy tips that can help put your mind at ease as you're considering your options. Checking these off of your list gives you a really good start!

Anything else you'd like to add to the list? 🤔

Oh, hey - it's me, the chick who's perpetually behind on posting for social media. 😅

I couldn't resist sharing some of this girl and her incredible dance photos, though. I love exploring great locations at sunset (even if we did almost get carried off by both mosquitos AND fearless peacocks). 🦟🦚
