I photograph families who are intentional about where their time goes, creating space for kids to be themselves, parents to reconnect, and everyone to simply enjoy being together. So you, Mom, can finally see yourself in the love you’re usually busy giving.
I’m you Louisiana family photographer, but I’m also a volunteer firefighter.
Seeing people on some of the hardest days of their lives has a way of putting things into perspective. It reminds me what matters: people, connection, and being here for the life you're living.
That service heart comes with me into every session.
I want your family—especially your kids—to feel comfortable with me. Sometimes that means pulling out a little firefighter gear for a safety show-and-tell to help break the ice.
It’s a small part of what I believe:
Trust first. Connection first. Then the photographs.
Outdoor: an hour before sunset; in home: mid-morning.

In-home sessions are typically mid-morning to early afternoon, with flexibility for your family’s needs. Outdoor sessions are about an hour before sunset.
Family sessions can be just your immediate family or include your extended family. Your crew is wherever your heart is.
Have a meaningful family spot in mind? Tell me when you book. Prefer home? We can do that, too, or choose one of my favorite Acadiana spots.
We go with it. There’s no need to make your kids behave differently for photos. We can take breaks, move around, snuggle, play, and let them warm up.
If the weather isn’t cooperating, we’ll keep an eye on the forecast together and reschedule when needed.
What happens if my kids are having a hard day?
What happens if it rains?

Yes. If being at home feels more natural for your family. In home sessions are held mid-mornings.
How do I book my family session?
Do you offer in home family sessions?
Choose clothes that feel like you. And don’t stress about what to wear. I’m here to help with outfits, too.
What should we wear?
I’ll gently guide you, but I don’t believe in stiff, forced posing. Expect movement, cuddles, play, and plenty of moments in between.
