tender and sweet Ruston Louisiana lifestyle Newborn Photographer
For busy mamas who want to preserve the most precious moments of their lives

Hi, Beautiful Mama
You are here because you are expecting and looking for a photographer for your sweet newborn session. First of all, congratulations!! Oh how exciting this time is. You are in the right place and we are so thrilled that you're here!
What To Expect
Our newborn sessions are done in-home because we believe that is where you and your family are the most comfortable! We also love capturing all the details of you and your home that makes it unique to you. There will never be someone with images at the same location because these are all your very own! That's something quite special. We offer three newborn portrait packages. Two of which include a maternity session. These take place at a location of yours or our choosing. This is a great time to get to meet each other and experience what it is like working with each other before your sweet bundle arrives.
The newborn stage is something that both precious and challenging. The time is fleeting. I am always amazed at just how quickly these teeny ones grow. Knowing how chaotic this time can be, we strive to not add any extra stress on you as the mom. These sessions are in-home so that you are comfortable in a familiar environment, as well as, so that you do not have to get out of the house. We are so thrilled to capture this precious time for you and your family.

See Real Newborn Sessions
milestone sessions
After your sweet baby has reached 3 months, we no longer consider sessions for them as newborn sessions. These are still precious times and we love to capture them. We call these sweet moments milestone sessions. These are 30-40 minute sessions focusing on your sweet babe and the new things they can do. We do these around 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months.
You can learn more about those here.
Love Notes
Fresh 48 Sessions
We know in-home newborn sessions are amazing but sometimes you want something even more fresh- fresh 48 sessions. These sessions are done in hospital, up to 48 hours after your baby's birth. These are so special and intimate.
