Portraits with me are relaxed and a little playful. We'll walk, talk, tickle, twirl, and let the good moments happen. Whether it's your whole crew, your senior's big year, or your brand-new baby, I'll help you plan everything from outfits to location so all you have to do is show up.

Family Photography

Getting everyone in the same photo shouldn't feel like a chore. I keep family sessions moving and fun so kids stay happy and parents actually get to be in the pictures. Grandparents, blended families, chosen family, the dog: everyone's welcome.

Kids & Milestone Sessions

Smiling mother and father sit on a park bench as their young daughter in a floral dress kisses her dad on the cheek.

First birthdays, cake smashes, "I lost my first tooth," big-kid milestones: the stuff that goes by way too fast. As a mom of two little ones, I've got patience (and snacks) for days.

Senior Portraits

Your senior year, your style. Bring the letterman jacket, the guitar, the truck, the outfit changes. We'll get classic shots for Grandma and creative ones you'll actually want to post.

Maternity & Newborn Photography

Soft, light, and all about the love. Newborn sessions are sweetest early on, but older babies are beautiful too.

Couples & Pet Portraits

Anniversaries, "just because," or "we finally got a sitter." Come cuddle, laugh, and be your goofy selves. And fur babies are family: bring them solo or with the whole crew. Treats encouraged.

Quick Questions

What should we wear? Coordinating (not matching) colors, comfortable clothes, and textures photograph best. I'll send you a style guide after booking.

Where do sessions happen? Outdoors around DeRidder and nearby towns, or in my private studio. I'll suggest spots that fit your vibe.

What if my kids won't cooperate? They don't have to! Candid chaos makes the best photos. More answers on the FAQ page.
