Types of Sessions

MaternityThis is such a momentous occasion to capture the bond between Mother and Baby. Bringing Dad and siblings and even the family pet, make for a beautiful family treasure. Combining nature with a maternity shoot is spectacular because nothing is more breathtaking than water and landscapes to frame MOM to be. Also, if you are looking for more of a studio Maternity with all the GLAM, we can do this as well! The more creative, the better! Check out some examples below!

Newborn

Documenting your precious little one is the biggest treasure of all! There is nothing that will ever compare to the first photos of your baby. From the close ups of their tiny fingers and toes, to the intimate family bond, this connection should never go without cherished portraits to remember that glimpse of sweetness and sheer joy!

Senior GradsGetting to know each and every Graduate each year has made this job so much fun! They are such amazing young adults! It's truly inspiring to work with them! When we combine their personality with the likes of great sets and creative ideas, it's just perfect! FUN is an understatement! We LOVE Seniors. Take a peek below at some great examples! We would love to add you to our collection! Each year we welcome at least three Grads to be Senior Influencers! We have so much fun doing at least two-three photo shoots. Follow social media to know when to apply!

Engagement & Couples

How exciting it is to witness so much love between two people. It's such a pleasure to be a part of something so very special for you! Everyone has their own idea of what they want their engagement photos to look and feel. It always comes together based on where you met each other, something significant for you, a location, etc. Whatever the vibe is, we can make it happen! We would love to be a part of making this dream a reality for you both. Sneak a peek below at some examples. Let's create your sample gallery next!

Headshots/Commercial

We know all too well how important it is to have the right headshot for the submission process for your agent to send to casting. You need a commercial and theatrical look as well as many other looks depending on what audition you are being submitted for! We can help you achieve the looks that will make your agent SMILE! We will provide you with plenty of options to choose from! You can't go wrong!

Family

Family is everything! It is always a great idea to have family portraits done! Time passes ever so quickly and it's important to document all of the changing that happens from year to year. Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast has so much to offer for outdoor settings. Nature just brings everything to life. Each year, we offer Spring/Fall/ Holiday Mini Sessions. Traditionally, we use local parks (Fountainbleu) and Downtown Covington to capture all of the wonderful families. When the weather does not permit, Studio portraits can also make a classic setting to create timeless art for your family. No matter the location or time of year, We would love to capture the love and joy of your family to treasure always! :)

Children

Your precious little one! From Newborn, One Year and Beyond, it's so awesome to watch them grow! They do change quickly in the first year or two and there's no better way than to photograph each of their milestones. We do offer Baby's first Year Collections as well as Mini Sessions throughout the year! Snag one of the Spring/Fall Minis to make sure you take it all in! From their first time sitting up to walking, gosh oh how SWEET it is!

We would love to help you get all the details to hold onto! Let's create some ART you can enjoy for years to come! :)

From 2004 until Now...

Life without a camera in my hands, wouldn't be life as I've known it for over 20 years. Actually, beginning as early as age 16, that love for photography blossomed when it was still 35mm and everything I shot had to be developed. Yes, I had an enormous amount of 4x6 photos in my teenage room taped to make a wall murial. It was really something. I knew that someday I would buy that amazing camera and put it to work. Fast forward, I have immensely enjoyed every single moment behind the camera. Ever so grateful that this time has welcomed so many beautiful people and moments I shall always treasure. It is an absolute pleasure to create art for your family. Whether it be a simple outdoor family session beneath the live oaks or a sweet squishy newborn session to capture the essence of your growing family. Together, let's create your beautiful moments in time to cherish a lifetime.
