Noah Fair | Shreveport Louisiana Newborn Photographer

The sweetest baby boy I had the honor to photograph. These newborns are just so precious!

Little Noah was so excited for his session with me that he decided to come two weeks early. Haha! Ok, that is stretching the truth a bit. Every baby I have photographed this year have been born early. It’s so fun to have an expected date for their arrival and then they surprise us all.

I arrived at little Noah’s home for his session and began to set everything up. Many times I need to set up lighting equipment but there was such great natural light that I didn’t need it!

We capture pictures of him alone and then added in his mommy and daddy. We were even able to get outdoor portraits which isn’t something I am usually able to get. This was a fun addition.

Everything about this session was just lovely and it was such an honor to, not only, photograph sweet Noah but to also photograph his mommy and daddy while he was in his mommy’s belly.

Spencer Family | Shreveport Louisiana Family Photographer

The Spencer Family

This was the final session from our time in Virginia. Last but certainly not least. I love these people and the location had such a special meaning to them. This is where Gabe and Sarah were married. This is where some of their dear friends live. Now this is where they had their family session with their special baby boy. I love when a location has a story as amazing as this.

We had the most perfect weather and the most gorgeous sunset. It was truly a dream. I could photograph sessions in Virginia ever day of the year and never tire of it. It is such a beautiful state. Maybe that’s because I’m from Louisiana and there isn’t that much beauty here. HA! Either way, Virginia holds a very special place in our hearts. We truly love the people that we have come to call our friends.

Brick Street Coffee | Minden Louisiana Photogapher

A few weeks ago I had the incredible privilege to document the “meet and greet” grand opening of Minden’s new coffee shop- Brick Street Coffee.

They brought in some amazing influencers like Simply Southern Cottage, Hammon’s Nest, Becky Cunningham Home, and more. They served them like royalty and then opened the doors for the public. Minden, y’all showed up!! There were so many that come out to show their support. It was absolutely amazing!!

Since then, they have fully opened their doors and they have been nothing short of blessed with amazing support ever since. They do such an amazing job that makes you want to come back again and again.

If you do not follow them over at brick street coffee on instagram or barnyard coffee ( their online roasting business) then maybe you don’t know all the details. They bought an old hardware store in downtown Minden, LA and completely revamped it into an absolutely stunning coffee shop. They did so amazing! Everyone who comes in is just blown away by the beauty.

It was such an honor to be able to do this for them and it is such a joy to have this new coffee shop so close to home.

Emily | Minden Louisiana Lifestyle Newborn Session

Baby Emily: the cutest little thing you ever did see. Maybe I am a bit partial since she is me niece. She’s only a few weeks old but it feels like she’s always been here. She is so loved by all her cousins and sisters.

We did things a little bit different then I normally do with newborn sessions. Instead of a morning session we did an afternoon session. She was born 5 weeks early and we did her session at 10 days so she was still I the very sleepy all day stage. This is always what we want. I always try to schedule newborn sessions right around 10 days post. This gives mom and dad a few days to settle in and baby is still young enough to be sleepy for me.

Emily’s session was done in a dark room that had very little natural light. I used my off camera flash and just love the way these turned out. Off camera flash is so fun to me! Taking artificial light and creating natural looking light with it feels like a puzzle sometimes but it is so fun when you get it right.

I loved everything about this in home newborn session in Minden, Louisiana. I hope you enjoy seeing it.

Neevan’s First Birthday | Shreveport Louisiana Baby Photographer

Sweet Neevan turns ONE!! This horse derby themed birthday party in Shreveport was seriously so cute!! Neevan was such a happy boy for his big day too. It can be hard for little ones with so many people looking at them constantly but he was a champ!

All the details within this party were thought out so carefully and looked so wonderful. Great job, mama!!

It was a hot day in Shreveport, Louisiana but it was worth it to get a little ride on the horses in the backyard. All the kids loved that! It is so fun to see the different activities that mamas come up with for these sweet baby’s first birthday parties. I just love getting to document all these special moments of motherhood!!

Happy first birthday Neevan. You are such a precious baby boy.

Cooper Garcia | Newborn Photographer in Shreveport Louisiana

Sweet Cooper. Oh how I loved this newborn session. I mean, look at the nursery. AH, I love it!!!

Rachel reached out to me to photograph her sweet baby boy that was on the way and I was so thrilled. Newborn sessions are very high up on the list of being my absolute favorite to photograph. I love to capture the beauty in parenthood. I know without any doubt it is a hard season of life. Bringing these brand new, helpless little babies home from the hospital is scary. You aren’t sure if you’re doing anything right. I mean, is there really a right or wrong way?? As long as they are loved and looked after I would say you are doing it right. I digress. This season of life is hard, but I find so much joy in knowing that I can captures moments for brand new parents that lets them see just how beautiful this new role is. And that they are stepping into it so perfectly.

Sweet Cooper did so good for me. He slept most of the time. Ah, a newborn photographer’s dream. We even got Hopper in some images and he did awesome. Such a good boy!

This newborn session was an absolute dream and I am so thrilled to share this post with y’all. I hope you love it as much as me. I may have delivered a ridiculous amount of images from this session. HA!!

Baker | Shreveport Louisiana Newborn Session

Sweet little Baker. Oh how I adore photographing these precious new babies. This is definitely my most favorite thing to photograph. It’s such a special time. It goes so quickly and many times it can feel like a fog because it is not easy. But it is so beautiful. I have never come into the home of new parents and thought anything but “how beautiful.”

Meeting the Rentz family was the highlight of my day. They are some of the sweetest people that I have had the privilege of photographing. They were so welcoming and kind to me. So trusting as I worked to soothe and photograph their precious new boy.

Little Baker’s nursery was so cute with all the blue and white gingham. The puppy dogs were such a sweet touch, too! It is so to see the different ways that mamas find to decorate their nurseries. Every one so unique and so cute. I always make it a point to get images of it because it won’t be long until that room is changed into an older kid room. I want mamas to have photos to look back on to see how sweet the room was back then. Is that not just a sad thought?

I can never say it enough but the saying it so true. The days are long but the years are short. You don’t realize how short they are until you are several years removed from newborn-hood. Then you realize, time goes so very fast.

It is the highest honor that I can ever receive to have brand new parents welcome me into their home to document this incredible time in their lives.

Abigail is One | Ruston Louisiana Baby Photographer

This little cutie babe graduated her milestone sessions with CDP and it’s a happy/sad day. She’s a little miracle and it has been the greatest joy to document her life.
Abigail is the sweetest baby girl and lights up a room with her sweet, sweet smile. You can’t be around her without smiling with her.

We met at Louisiana Tech University because of their tulip garden. When we arrived the tulips were already gone. NOOO!! However, there were other flowers so we made it work. It was such a beautiful day with perfect weather. We couldn’t have asked for a better day.

I loved every second of this first birthday session and I can’t wait to continue to watch Little Abigail grow and blossom into whatever God has in store for her precious life.

What do you need for an in home newborn session? | Newborn Photographer in north Louisiana

If you’re expecting a baby and wanting in-home newborn portraits but you’re afraid your home isn’t photo worthy. As a newborn photographer in north Louisiana, let me put those fears to rest.

You don’t have to have amazing light, I have a flash system to create natural looking light when there isn’t much available.

You don’t have to have a magazine worthy nursery to have gorgeous images. This is a time to document a new chapter in your life. If the nursery isn’t absolutely perfect, that’s ok!

You just had a baby, I don’t require you to have a spotless clean home. I know you are exhausted. I promise don’t judge if you have dishes in your sink or the breakfast mess is still on the table. I’m human too, I get it!

All you need is a photographer who knows how to create gorgeous images in whatever lighting situation they find themselves and that makes you feel amazing

Book your in home newborn session today!

Amy and Sebastiaan Maternity Portraits | Minden Louisiana Photographer

Today we are pulling from the vault for this sweet maternity session.

Amy and Sebastiaan came all the way from Europe for these pictures. Ok, fine, that’s not true. They did come from all the way from Europe, but the photos in Louisiana were not orginally part of the plan. You see, Amy is my husband’s sister. Her and Sebastiaan came down for Thanksgiving and while they were here we grabbed some pictures.

They are having their first baby in Feburary and we all can’t wait to see how beautiful she is going to be. And I know they will be amazing parents. Our girls love them both so much. They are moving on in their travels in the US today so of course I’m posting this because we already miss them and they just left. Boo for long distances.

We planned to get these pictures done in the evening but after realizing it was going to rain from noon until…. well, all night, we realized we had to make do with the morning cloudy skies. Within minutes of us starting, the rain came. Thankfully, it was only a drizzle. But it did not help with the chilly temps. We sped through the photos so as to not freeze from being wet and cold.

But in the end, these pictures turned out so well. Thanks for trusting me to capture this sweet time for y’all. We love y’all so much!

Thank you so much for viewing our blog. We hope you enjoyed it. To book your maternity and newborn session, click here
