Waiting on Baby | A Heartfelt Maternity Session in North Louisiana

Some sessions just stay with you — and this beautiful North Louisiana maternity session was one of those special ones. This sweet family of three is soon to become a family of four, and every moment we captured together was filled with tenderness, joy, and anticipation.

From the very first hug to the last soft laugh, there was so much love in the air. You could feel the excitement as they dreamed about the little life they’ll soon be holding. Melissa was absolutely glowing in her blush pink dress, her hands gently resting on her baby bump, and the way her husband looked at her said it all — pride, love, and a quiet sense of awe for the beautiful journey they’re on together.

Kinlee absolutely melted my heart. She was so curious and gentle, already stepping into her new role as big sister with so much sweetness. One of my favorite moments was when she reached up and rested her tiny hand on her mama’s belly. It was pure magic — the kind of moment that makes you stop and realize how precious this season of life truly is.

The evening light in the North Louisiana countryside was soft and golden, wrapping this little family in the most beautiful glow. Surrounded by tall grass and open skies, it felt peaceful — like the world had slowed down just long enough for them to soak in these fleeting moments together.

Maternity sessions like this one remind me why I love what I do. They’re not just about capturing a bump or a beautiful dress — they’re about preserving the love, connection, and hope that fill these in-between moments. This family’s story is growing, and I feel so honored to have been a small part of it.

Soon, their arms will be a little fuller and their hearts even more so. And I can already tell — this baby is coming into a world overflowing with love.

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.

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!

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!

Mittchell Family | South Arkansas Family Photographer

This is a special family that I have been able to photograph many life events for. I flew to Florida to photograph their wedding, I photographed maternity and newborn photos for their first baby, six month photos, one year photos, and now they are having another baby and I’m photographing their gender announcement plus family photos. It is so special for me to be able to capture so many special memories for my friends and clients. It might sound cliche, but I love what I do!!

We met Mark and Michelle at their home to have a quick meal together and then we started off for Logoly State Park in Magnolia, AR. Unfortunately, dark clouds rolled in and it was the gloomiest, darkest day I had seen in a while. It was too late to reschedule, we were literally there at the location. So we made do. I found the best light I could find and we went to work.

It was so hot and crazy humid. We were all drenched in sweat. Or at least I was. I sweat easy. Haha!

Mark, Michelle and Seth were all troopers and handled the day so well. We got some adorable photos and even pulled off the gender reveal! You’ll have to scroll through to see what baby number two is for them!

Winters Family | North Louisiana Family Photographer

The Winters Family

This session took place an hour and a half before sunset, but the unfortunate thing is that it was so cloudy it looked like we had started after sunset. I had to work fast because we were losing light so fast. There was cold front coming in so it was windy, clod, dreary, cloudy, gloomy.. you name it and it was probably that. Little Kinlee had more than photos on her mind. Seeing she is my niece she knows that me usually means her BFF Emma is nearby. All she wanted to do was go see Emma. Haha!!! I had my work cut out for me but thankfully I know a few tricks.

We did all things, played all the games, made it as interesting as possible for an almost two year old. This age is always hard because they are old enough to have a very strong opinion and it can hard to sway them one way or the other.
Bribery works sometimes, but not always. I knew I had to think of ways to make taking photos sound really fun, or better yet, make her even forget we were taking photos and just think we were playing games.

By looking at these photos, I would say it worked. We got some of the sweetest smiles and even some real sass. Haha!! I just love this kid so much. She is such a hoot!

Nina and Casey Maternity | Red River Wildlife Refuge | Shreveport Photographer

Can we just start this session off by saying can you believe it was over 100 degrees?!?! Take that into consideration when looking at these images and be super impressed at how well these two handled the heat. Like, I was pouring sweat.

Nina and Casey are expecting a sweet baby boy and I am so beyond thrilled to be able to document their maternity and newborn session. This is the stuff I live for. Oh, it’s my favorite!!

We met at the Red River Wildlife Refuge in Shreveport, LA on one of the hottest days of the year. I’m not even being dramatic!! Y’all it was hot!

For this session, I shot with the 85mm lens for the first time and I completely fell in love. Like, I was probably driving them crazy with how obsessed I was with these images as I was taking them. Oh man! It was so, so good!!

Nina and Casey were so easy to photograph and you wouldn’t believe this was their first time to have professional images taken of them. What an incredible honor that is for me to be the first to professionally photograph them and how amazing they are at modeling for this to be their very first time. They were incredible!

I am so excited and waiting anxiously for the arrival of their precious baby boy, as I know they are too. I can not wait to get these two in front of my camera again, and this time with their sweet babe.
