Christmas with the Dexters | North Louisiana Photographer

Ok, this session holds a special place in my heart. I LOVE lifestyle sessions in the comfort of your home. They are just so special to me. No one has a location like yours. No one has photos like yours. They are so special because they are in your safe place. Your reprieve from the world. Sometimes you worry there maybe isn’t great light at your house, but we can bring the light!

This session took place on a dark, gloomy day in North Louisiana. If you’re from around here then you know the type of weather we have had. We need the sun!! On days like this you can reschedule, but you’re not promised another day will have sun shine. This is why I have been pushing myself to learn off camera flash. Am I perfect, heavens no. But I am learning! And these are beautiful. So I say that is a win!!

We got the kiddos all cozy and let them decorate the tree, make cookies, and just have fun. This is easily my most favorite, FAVORITE time of year!

I have loved photographing these absolutely adorable, sweet kiddos over the years. And yes, I’m partial because they are my family. But who cares?! They are still some of the sweetest kids you’ll meet!

Oglesby Family | Family Photographer in Shreveport Louisiana

The Oglesby family is such a special family! You can’t help but love them. They are so fun and full of life! You are sure to leave with a smile on your face after a visit with them. Not only that, but they are Godly. The love of Christ truly shines through their lives. It is a joy and honor to know them and call them friends.

We met for their session out on Lake Bistineau. This is definitely one of my favorite locations. It is so beautiful and gives you all the southern Louisiana feels. The moss in the trees add such beautiful touch to the images as well. I just love it!

This was a mini session so we worked fast but I am so proud of all that we got accomplished in such a short amount of time. I love them all and I know they do too!

Rico Family | Family Photographer in Shreveport Louisiana

These precious kiddos brightened my day! They were so sweet and full of energy. I loved every single second of meeting them. Their mama is a long time friend of mine and was in my wedding. Being able to photograph her precious kiddos was so special to me.

We met on a gloomy day just outside of Shreveport Louisiana. It was gloomy, but it felt great outside! This usually helps make the kiddos happy. Too cold or too hot is not fun for anyone!

One thing I like to do with littles that have never met me before it introduce myself to them without my big camera. I want them to get used to me before I pull out the big black thing they have to look at. I always get down on their level and try to let them know I am their friend. It can be hard for them at first especially if they are more shy. But almost always they warm up and we have a wonderful time together!

After we have let them warm up a little, I’ll bring out my camera and if I can tell one is a little more weary of me and my camera I’ll let them look at it and even help me take a picture. They always love this!

I’m a big believer in not rewarding with snacks during the session because this typically ends in them wanting more and more. Instead I try to reward with games. If they will give me a good smile, I will let them run and play. It’s a win, win!

These same tactics worked with these precious kiddos and I think it’s safe to say we left as buddies. I love getting to serve all these precious families in this fun way!

Addie is ONE | Ruston Louisiana Baby Photographer

This absolutely adorable Paris themed cake smash session photographed in North Louisiana is pulled from the archives, but man, oh man is it worth sharing! Seriously, how cute?!!

This sweet girl’s mama knocked it out of the park with the decor and cake for this session. She wasn’t a fan at first, and got a little tired of me at the end, but we got some cute portraits that I know her mama just loved!!

I love getting to watch the adorable babies grow. From newborn to one year and upwards, we love photographing them!!

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!!

Christy | Shreveport Louisiana Maternity Photographer

Beautiful Christy expecting her first baby. This session is pulled from the archives.

Christy is so beautiful and just glowing during this pregnancy. I think that’s something that can be said of so many lovely mamas during their pregnancy. Pregnancy is such a beautiful, wonderful thing. Each time I think it such a miracle. The miracle of a life growing inside you. It always makes me think of how amazing God is. You can see Him so clearly and plainly.

We met for this session out in Rural North Louisiana on a beautiful day and had the most wonderful time together. It is such a privilege to be able to document such incredible times for such amazing people. I never take this time for granted.

Weston | North Louisiana Newborn Photographer

Sweet baby Weston. Have I told you I love to photograph newborns? Oh I have, good..

As a newborn photographer in north Louisiana I think it is no secret that this is my favorite part of photography. These precious newborns. The time with them so little goes by so very, very fast. It is so hard, but it is so wonderful all at the same time. God entrusts us with these precious lives and through Him we are able to raise them into wonderful people. There is nothing more amazing than that. It takes a lot of grace. A lot of patience. A lot of hard work. But it is so beer, very worth it.

This sweet session is from the archives but it is definitely a favorite. Seeing the love these siblings have for their new baby brother is just so very sweet. I hope you enjoy it.

Emma is ONE | Shreveport Louisiana Baby Photographer

Emma turning one!! This is milestone session is pulled from the archives. My very own, sweet Emma girl. Oh man does this bring back the memories. She was such a little stinky head. Oh wait, she still is. Haha!!

Her first birthday theme was apple pie themed. We set up decor featuring all things apple pie and I just loved it! She did so good, especially when we would sing baby shark. Oh how much she loved that song. What little one doesn’t though?

Going through this series of going through the archives is so sweet and I hope you’re enjoying it as much as I am.

Evening Light Tabernacle Fall Festival | Photographer in Minden Louisiana

This was such a fun day! All the kiddos look forward to this day all year long. Evening Light Tabernacle’s Fall Festival. This a day full of lots and lots of fun!

This year was exceptionally cold but that didn’t stop us. From bounce houses to three legged races, we did it all! It was such a blast!

Each year we work together as a church body to make this day happen. Game booths, food booths, relay races, cake contests. You name it. I know it’s a lot of work to pull it all off but I have to say it is worth every effort. My girls adore fall festival day!

It was so fun bringing my camera along this year to capture the day. So much action and fun caught on camera. Hopefully as you scroll through this blog post you will get a glimpse at just how much of a fun day this is.

Winters Family | Family Photographer in Shreveport Louisiana

Oh man, oh man. These are some kind of good. My brother and his beautiful wife with their precious ONE YEAR OLD!! How??? Time goes so, so fast.

We met on a blistery cold and windy day about an hour from Shreveport Louisiana for this sweet family session. Out in rural Louisiana is where I’m from and where I feel most at home. I love a beautiful open field with tall grass and gorgeous sunlight. You can almost guarantee that I will choose that over a busy and busting city any day. Of course, if rural fields aren’t your thing I never force it. We always want your session to be YOU and not ME.

As I stated before, this day was cold and windy. Kinlee did so good despite the cold. She didn’t want to leave. Playing in the grass while her crazy aunt was making all kinds of noise to get her attention. Her mom and dad sitting in the grass with her.. Why would she want to leave??

I always do my very best to make sessions fun for littles, even one year olds. I don’t want to focus solely on poses, I like to incorporate play as much as possible.

Photographing these precious families with their adorable babies just makes my heart sing. I know I have said that before, but I mean it. Nothing makes me more happy. I love what I do!!

Winters Family | Family Photographer in Ruston Louisiana

Every year we make it a point to get a big family photo of my side of the family. We pull all the ideas together for outfits and we meet up after church on a Sunday at my parents home in North Louisiana to get a family photo.
It’s so fun and something I love doing. This year it was exceptionally cold, but everyone did fabulous!
We love our family so much!
