DeRidder Bridal Portraits Now that this pretty lady is married I can share her beyond gorgeous bridal photos from last month! Lisa is a stunning bride, and I truly had a great time making her feel like a million bucks. Almost everyone is nervous before a photo session, and Lisa was no exception. But we...
Louisiana Country Church Wedding In a time when so many people post on social media about just about everything, this sweet couple doesn’t really use it. They prefer to be anonymous is this blog post, and I totally get it. Privacy is important and it has changed a whole lot in the last 20 years...
Reeves Senior Photos Golly my seniors this year are gorgeous! I got to shoot with Gracie two weeks ago and her session was amazing, and then Lanie blew my socks off last week too. Lanie is also a part of our church’s youth group, and it’s been such a joy to watch her grow into...
East Beauregard Senior Photos This session was so special to me for so many reasons. Gracie and her family were some of the first people we met when we moved to Dry Creek back in 2018. It’s hard to believe she was just a freshman then! It’s been almost four years, so I’ve gotten to...

We’ll talk about how to do smart previews, what files your...
DeRidder Christmas Family Photos I have been photographing this beautiful family since 2015! Daughter number three, Lucia, could barely stand up the first time. (Don’t judge the photos in that post….my photography has improved A LOT in 6 years LOL). I’ve watched the oldest three girls grow, and I remember when Paloma was born. This...
Dry Creek Family Photographer This little one has grown SO much since his newborn session back in June! He is such a cutie, and normally so smiley. As soon as we put him on the blanket on his back the grin broke out, but when his mom and dad were holding him…nothing. We even had...
