Telling visual stories vibrantly. Named one of 2020’s Best Portrait Photographers by LOOKSLIKEFILM.

A beautiful Airbnb deserves photos that feel as intentional as the space itself.

I’ve recently started offering editorial-style Airbnb + interior photography, and honestly? I’m obsessed with this kind of work. The textures, the light, the quiet details, the feeling of walking into a space and instantly wanting to stay awhile.

The goal isn’t just to document a property.
It’s to help people feel it before they ever book.

Currently booking a limited number of summer sessions for:
• Airbnbs
• Vacation rentals
• Boutique stays
• Thoughtfully designed homes

📍Northeast Louisiana (but available for travel)

Some spaces deserve more than iPhone photos.

I’m now offering editorial-style photography for Airbnb, short-term rentals, and thoughtfully designed homes - the kind of images that stop the scroll, elevate your listing, and actually increase bookings.

Think:
• clean composition
• intentional light
• design-forward storytelling
• images that feel like they belong in a magazine, not just a listing

If you’ve put time, money, and heart into your space… your photos should reflect that.

Now booking a limited number of properties for Summer.

🥜 Jude’s Peanut Butter Drive! 🥜
A little personal share from me today — my kiddo Jude is running a peanut butter donation drive for the Food Bank of Northeast Louisiana. It’s his favorite food, and he wanted to make sure other kids have something comforting they love too. ❤️

If you feel led to help him “spread” a little kindness, we’re collecting jars now through December 18th. Any brand, any size — it all makes a difference.

Drop-offs can be made at the Northeast Louisiana Arts Council, or you can Venmo with “Jude” in the memo and I’ll pick up jars on your behalf.

Thanks for supporting the small humans trying to make the world a little softer. 🧡📸

Somehow it always feels like this during November editing marathons… me in full goblin mode, fueled by coffee and sheer willpower — and my clients being absolute queens/kings of patience, sweetness, and support. 👑💚

This morning, I just want to say how deeply grateful I am for every single family, senior, couple, kiddo, and creative who trusts me with their memories. You show up with kindness, flexibility, humor, and so much heart — especially during a year that has been full, heavy, beautiful, and everything in between.

Thank you for letting me tell your stories.
Thank you for choosing me again and again.
Thank you for believing in my work even when I’m buried under Lightroom like the Wicked Witch of the West. 😂🧹

I’m delivering galleries as fast as my little editing hands will allow — and I’m so, so thankful for you.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends. 🧡📸🍂
