Photographer with an organic and bold style located in Slidell, Louisiana

09/09/2026

It’s been a few years since I’ve picked up my camera and I want to get back into it.

I’m looking for a 2027 senior who would rather be outside than just about anywhere else.

I want someone who actually loves the outdoors, because we’re going to build the session around the things that are part of his life.

Fishing
Archery
Hunting & the outdoors
Kayaking
Hiking & camping
Boating
Country life
…or whatever being outdoors looks like for YOU.

For this model call, you’ll receive 50% OFF my regular senior session for helping me update my portfolio.

We’ll still get those great portraits Mom wants, but we’ll also create the photos that feel like him.

I’m only choosing ONE senior for this outdoors session in the St. Tammany area

Interested? Send me a message with:
Senior’s name + what outdoor activity he loves + a little about him.

Bonus points if you already have a favorite fishing hole, property, boat, outdoor spot or somewhere that’s meaningful to him.

Let’s make senior pictures he actually WANTS to take.

One of my favorite parts of getting back into photography?

LOCATION SCOUTING. 😍

St. Tammany has so many gorgeous little pockets for photographs from mossy trees and overgrown fields to Old Towne textures, waterfront spots and beautiful Louisiana sunsets.

And I’m ready to start hunting for some new favorites.

So locals, help me out!

Where is somewhere around St. Tammany that you’ve driven past and thought…

“That would be gorgeous for pictures.”

Tell me your hidden gems. 👇

And don’t worry I promise not to tell everyone. 😉

Want to know one of my favorite tricks for photographing kids?

Stop asking them to smile. 😂

The second you tell some kids, “Okay, smile!” you get that smile.

Parents know exactly which one I’m talking about. 😬😂

I’d rather talk to them.

Make them laugh.

Let them move.

Ask ridiculous questions.

Let them forget for a minute that there’s even a camera pointed at them.

Because that’s when I get them.

And that’s always what I’m looking for.

I think one of the strangest things about being a mom is how slowly, yet so incredibly quickly your kids change.

You see them every single day, so you don’t always notice it happening.

Then Facebook shows you a picture from five years ago and suddenly you’re staring at that tiny face thinking…

Where did that baby go? 😭

That’s one of the reasons photography means so much to me.

We’re not just taking a pretty picture for Facebook.

We’re freezing what your family looks like right now.

The missing teeth.

The little hands.

The kid who still thinks Dad is the funniest person alive.

The way your daughter still reaches for your hand without thinking about it.

Those littles don’t stay little forever.

So, take the pictures momma, or have someone do it for you because you deserve to be in them too. 😘

Okay, St. Tammany Class of 2027… I’m looking at YOU. 👀

One thing I’m really excited about as I start photographing again is getting back into senior sessions.

Senior pictures should feel like you.

Your personality. Your style. Your interests. The things that make this season of your life yours.

And I’m tossing around another idea…

I would LOVE to find a Class of 2027 senior to represent my photography this year.

I’ll be sharing more details soon, but if you’re a local senior or you have one, I’d love to know!

Tag a Class of 2027 senior below. 👇

Can I tell you something photographers wish every mom knew?

Your kids DO NOT have to behave perfectly for family pictures.

Please don’t spend the entire drive there threatening everyone within an inch of their lives to smile for the photographer. 😂

Kids are kids.

They might be shy.

They might need five minutes to warm up.

They might decide running in circles is much more interesting than looking at my camera.

That’s okay.

I’d much rather work with their personalities than force them into perfect poses for 30 minutes.

So mama, come as you are.

Bring the wild kids.

We’ll figure it out. ❤️

08/24/2026

Family pictures don’t have to look like everyone standing perfectly still and smiling at the camera.

Actually… some of my favorite photographs happen in between those moments.

The little looks.

Someone making someone else laugh.

Kids being completely ridiculous.

A toddler who absolutely refuses to participate. 😂

Those are usually the photographs that feel the most like your family.

Of course we’ll get the “everyone looking at the camera” picture for Grandma.

But then I want you to play with your kids, love on them and let me photograph the good stuff.

Because someday that’s the part you’re going to want to remember. ❤️

Something funny about coming back to photography is realizing just how different my life looks now compared to when I first started.

I’m a Navy veteran, a homeschooling mom of three, and we’re getting ready for another huge chapter as my husband retires from the Navy this year.

And somewhere in the middle of homeschool lessons, family life, kids’ activities and everything else that comes with this season… I’m making room for something creative that I loved for a very long time.

Photography.

I’m not trying to rebuild everything overnight.

I’m just really excited to start creating again. ❤️

So if you’re seeing my photography posts pop up again after a long absence, Hi, I’m really glad you’re here!

I’ve never been a light-and-airy photographer.

Give me rich color. Deep shadows. Beautiful light. Bold contrast. 😍

I want my photographs to have depth and emotion to feel like a piece of art you could hang on your wall.

Every image I deliver is also hand-edited by me. I don’t use AI to edit my client galleries. Editing has always been part of the creative process I love just as much as taking the photograph itself.

Trends come and go, but this style has always felt like me.

I’m curious—which are you naturally drawn to?

☀️ Light & airy
or
🌿 Bold & rich?

Well… it’s official. I’m picking up my camera again. 📸

For years, photography was such a huge part of my life. I had the incredible honor of being voted Best Photographer in East St. Tammany two years in a row, and then life threw me a curveball and I had to step away for a while.

I wasn’t sure if I would ever come back to it professionally.

But lately I’ve found myself missing it, the creativity, chasing beautiful light, meeting families, making kids laugh, and then sitting down afterward and turning those moments into art.

So I’m opening my calendar again for families and seniors in the St. Tammany area, and I’m really excited to see where this new chapter takes me.

And if you’ve been following me since my old photography days, will you leave me a ❤️ below? I would LOVE to see how many of you are still here.
