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 ju

st 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.

Fun fact: The way this kid looks at cake is *exactly* the way *I* look at wedding cake, every time. 😅🍰

Happy Monday!

Very important announcement: If anyone tries to tell you that you should smash a cake just 'cuz it's your birthday, when you're really a meat and potatoes kinda guy...

You can do what you want (and I'ma have your BACK). 😎

Let's talk about "surprises" during your birth story!

A lot of times, I get asked, "What if baby comes earlier than your on-call period, or after? What happens then?"

Booking an experienced professional for your birth story means that alongside the knowledge of how to work a camera comes years of BIRTH experience.

Because documenting your birth story is FAR more than just clicking buttons. It's the mental gymnastics of interpreting the signs and signals your body is giving you leading up to the big day. It's working alongside your birthday team and understanding what they're saying, the implications of it, and being able to think a few steps ahead in order to prepare for getting you the best photos possible. Even when things get hectic.

Birth stories aren't just a job to me. I feel so honored that I get to bond with some truly amazing people on the most impactful days of their lives--I *live* those moments with you, even when things get hard.

So the answer to "What happens if...?" is always that I'm gonna SKKKRRRRT on over to you, wherever you are, at whatever time, if at all humanly possible. Cuz being an almost-auntie to half of the area's babies at this point is a pretty big deal to me. 🥹🫶

This little peanut may have had some curveballs to throw at his parents recently, but he's doing great - and I'm so proud of this whole family for rocking and rolling with the punches and making this guy the most loved little boy on the planet, from the second he was born!

I feel like there's no dopamine hit quite like that of a baby yawning. 🤣

Just me??

This sweet guy is so excited to be a big brother! I can't wait to document the birth story of the second little boy in this family! 😍

The upside to being an overachiever and being so busy with doing *all of the things* that you can't fit in senior photos until after graduation: Being able to take your photos with all of your fancy cords and hardware!

This girl does it ALL, and does it so well!

Congratulations, Taylor!

Things I love:

1) When the proposee is GENUINELY shocked and surprised when the question gets popped 🥹

2) When the proposer is a 💯 sweetheart who is down for WHATEVER photos his girl wants because he's just happy to see her happy. 🫶🏻

3) When they're BOTH super cool and willing to play in the rain for some photos when the skies open up approximately 2.5 seconds after the "Yes!" 😅

(Also, I'm grateful for covered awnings and lighting skills, because when I tell you it was POURING out there... 😅)

Congratulations, you two! ♥️

Hot take: Baby smiles are cute and all, but I love me a serious baby face! ♥️

Oliver! Drum major extraordinaire and eternal gentleman. It's been such a pleasure to watch you grow in the last few years. There are great things ahead of you at LSU. Congrats on crossing the finish line today!

(also, if you've ever wondered what it looks like when it starts raining during your portrait session...just know that Oliver here has all of the tips and tricks for you to make it look easy, lol)
