Maternity Session at Lake Bistineau | Cassie & Jeremiah

There’s something so peaceful and full of promise about maternity sessions — the calm before the beautiful chaos of welcoming a new little life. Cassie and Jeremiah’s session at Lake Bistineau in North Louisiana was exactly that: soft, serene, and overflowing with love.

The quiet beauty of the cypress trees draped in moss created the dreamiest backdrop as the two shared sweet, quiet moments together. The lake’s stillness reflected their excitement and tenderness as they await the arrival of their baby boy. You could feel the anticipation in every look and gentle touch — that mix of joy, wonder, and love that only parents-to-be truly understand.

Cassie looked absolutely radiant in her light blue floral dress, the perfect nod to their soon-to-arrive little man. Jeremiah’s classic navy shirt and khaki pants complemented her look beautifully, giving the photos a timeless, cohesive feel. The soft winter light danced across the water, wrapping them in a golden glow that made the whole session feel magical.

As they stood on the wooden dock, surrounded by the quiet beauty of Lake Bistineau, it was easy to see how much love already fills their growing family. These are the kinds of sessions that remind us why photography matters — freezing these fleeting, heartfelt moments before everything changes in the most wonderful way.

Congratulations, Cassie and Jeremiah! Your journey into parenthood is just beginning, and your love for each other (and for your baby boy!) shines so beautifully in every image.

Senior Photo Session Spotlight: Wesley at Cypress Black Bayou

There’s something timeless about senior photos — that moment between the end of high school and the start of a brand-new adventure. Wesley’s senior session at Cypress Black Bayou in North Louisiana was the perfect blend of natural beauty and classic style.

The golden light filtered through the trees, casting a warm glow across the water and the rocky shoreline. It was the ideal backdrop for Wesley’s clean, confident look. Dressed in a light pink button-down paired with navy blue slacks and crisp white shoes, his outfit struck the perfect balance between laid-back and polished. The soft tones of his shirt contrasted beautifully with the greens and blues of the scenery, giving every photo a vibrant yet relaxed feel.

As we explored the area, Wesley’s calm and collected energy came through in every shot. Whether he was standing confidently by the water’s edge or casually glancing toward the horizon, his photos captured both his personality and his readiness for the next chapter. Cypress Black Bayou’s peaceful setting made it easy to showcase his genuine smile and quiet confidence.

Senior sessions like this are a reminder that the best photos happen when personality meets place — and Wesley’s shoot was the perfect example. The soft sunlight, serene landscape, and his effortless style came together to create images that truly tell his story.

Congratulations, Wesley! Here’s to all the memories made and the exciting future ahead.

William | A Birthday Photo Session in Minden Louisiana

Celebrating William’s 13th Birthday with a Photo Session at the Minden Library 🎉📚

Turning 13 is a big deal — it’s that special moment when a kid officially steps into the exciting world of teenage-hood. To celebrate this milestone, we headed to the beautiful brick steps outside the Minden Library in Minden, Louisiana, for a relaxed and fun birthday photo session for William.

The setting couldn’t have been more perfect. With the soft evening light streaming through the trees, the peaceful ambiance of the library grounds, and festive holiday twinkle lights wrapped around the trees in the background, the whole scene had a warm and timeless charm.

William showed up ready for the moment — sporting a classic leather jacket, jeans, and sneakers — a look that’s effortlessly cool and totally his style. He brought such an easygoing vibe to the session, and you could tell he was right at home in front of the camera (even if he might not admit it!).

What made this shoot extra special was capturing the transition in William — still holding onto a bit of boyhood but clearly stepping into his own as a young man. His confidence, quiet strength, and calm demeanor came through in every shot. No props needed — just a great smile, a classic location, and a moment to mark this exciting new chapter in his life.

We chose the Minden Library not just for its beautiful architecture, but because it’s a place of learning and growth — which felt like the perfect metaphor for this stage in William’s journey. Thirteen is a year full of changes, big dreams, and new beginnings, and we were honored to help freeze a few of those moments in time.

Love in the Wild: Jenny & Reagan’s Rustic Country Session at the Red River Wildlife Refuge

There’s something undeniably timeless about country love — the kind that feels rooted in tradition, full of laughter, and built on genuine connection. That’s exactly what we captured during Jenny and Reagan’s couple’s session at the beautiful Red River National Wildlife Refuge in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Nestled among the wildflowers, overgrown fences, and golden evening light, Jenny and Reagan showed up in true Southern style — cowboy hats, big belt buckles, boots, and all. Their outfits perfectly matched the backdrop: rugged, natural, and full of personality. The setting sun filtering through the trees created a dreamy glow that felt like something out of a country love song.
What made this session so special was how natural everything felt. Jenny and Reagan have that easy, comfortable chemistry that doesn’t need posing — just a glance or a grin says it all. Whether they were leaning on an old wooden fence or laughing together in the tall grass, every moment was real, warm, and full of joy.
The Red River Wildlife Refuge gave us the perfect rustic setting — open fields, wild greenery, and just the right touch of that Louisiana backroad charm. It was the kind of place where boots feel at home, where the breeze whispers through the trees, and where love stories like theirs are right at home.
Jenny and Reagan’s shoot reminded us that love doesn’t need to be dressed up or overdone. Sometimes, the best stories are told under a wide-open sky, with muddy boots and hearts full of country pride.
Here’s to Southern love, wild places, and the couples who make it all look effortless. 💛

Hall Maternity | Shreveport Louisiana Maternity Photographer

My dear friends, expect long their first baby. It was such an honor to be able to photograph their maternity session at this lovely location in Shreveport. It made for such dreamy photos!

We met on a Sunday after church for lunch and then headed to the location. The weather was threatening a downpour but it stayed clear until we finished.

We had so much fun together and I just loved how each area used for the session had such unique characteristics. It made for not only beautiful photos, but interesting details as well.

Laura is carrying pregnancy with such grace: truly glowing.

Justin and Lillian’s Lake Bistineau Maternity Portraits | Maternity Photographer In North Louisiana

Justin and Lillian have been in front of my camera many times and every single time I am so in love with what we are able to create. They always trust my vision, never question my antics, and are SO EASY TO PHOTOGRAPH!! We always have way too many photos in the gallery.

This time we did their session at Lake Bistineau state park in north Louisiana. This is such a stunning location! I love the moss in the trees. It gives so much texture to the background of the images and helps diffuse the light so beautifully.

Lillian and myself are both having baby girls and only due about a week or so apart. It will be fun to see who has their baby first (I’m known to be late so I highly doubt it will be me, haha!!) and to watch our sweet girls grow up together.

We had scheduled this session but due to unforeseen circumstances we had to reschedule. We are all so relived that we did reschedule! Our original date was in the upper 90s and our new date was in the 70s. Talk about an amazing difference!! It turned out the be the most perfect day and I am so in love with what we created!

David Turns ONE | Baby Photographer in Shreveport Louisiana

Sweet David is turning ONE!! I can’t believe it! Seems like just yesterday I was in his home in North Louisiana photographing his newborn session and here we are documenting his first birthday. Time goes by so quickly!!

As a baby photographer in Shreveport Louisiana it brings me so much joy to be able to photograph such important milestones for my families. Documenting their maternity sessions, capturing their first family photos during their newborn sessions, and on to celebrating their baby turning one. It is so special to me and I love it so much!!

David was so cute for birthday session. It took him a minute to warm up to me and my big camera but once he did, he was so fun to photograph. I loved all the props mom brought for his session! We had the best time doing these photos! I loved getting to chat and catch up with his sweet mama and daddy.

It was the perfect day at the Red River Wildlife Refuge in Shreveport, Louisiana. This is always a favorite location of mine! We have lots of variety and I’m a sucker for big, pretty trees!!

Jennifer Langston | Shreveport Louisiana Portrait Photographer

It is so special to be asked by another photographer to photograph them. I just loved getting to meet Jennifer! She is the sweetest and so talented herself.

We met at Red River Wildlife Refuge in Shreveport Louisiana for her updated headshots. This is a location that I love so much in the shreveport area. It has so much variety and if you are lucky with your timing like we were, you get to take advantage of how much they like to provide things for the pollinators. AKA FLOWERS!! I love photographing my clients in a field of flowers. It makes me sooo happy!!

Jennifer was a dream to photograph, so easy going and fun. I loved every second of it and I am so thrilled with these images. The colors, the warm light, ALL OF IT!! I just love it all!!

A Garden Party at Simply Southern Cottage | Minden Louisiana Event Photographer

Do you remember when I told you about Sarah Overall Events and how she planned the most STUNNING party??? Well, here is the proof of her incredible work.

On a very hot and toasty summer day in Minden Louisiana, a beautiful garden party at Simply Southern Cottage was hosted by Sarah Overall and her team. It was the most glorious evening. With florals from KV Floral Design and cakes from Social Bites it was a party that dreams are made of. I had the greatest honor to be able to photograph it and these images go down as some of my favorites. How gorgeous does everything look?

In Home Pregnancy Announcement Session | Shreveport Louisiana Maternity Photographer

Ok y’all. Sit tight for this one.

Some of our very good friends are having a baby after many prayers have been prayed for them. Our girls prayed every single night that they would have a baby and they are so excited when they got the news. Our babies will only be a few months apart and we can’t wait for them to get to grow up as little besties.

Because it is the middle of simmer here in North Louisiana we opted to stay indoors for this announcement session. These sessions are sooo much fun! There is nothing better as a newborn photographer to get to photograph your friends announcing they are expecting a sweet baby.

Of course we had to include the fur babies in a fun photo, too!
