St. Francisville, Louisiana Bridal Portraits

Caitlin’s Southern Louisiana Plantation bridal shoot is a must see!

We headed to Rosedown Plantation, nestled in St. Francisville. Caitlin’s sister, mom, grandma, and daughter took the road trip with us just to be together for this special session.

Rosedown was established in the 1830s. It’s now a gorgeous 374 acres with a Great House, large live oak trees, and pleasure gardens. We strolled around the plantation and captured these gorgeous images.

Caitlin looked absolutely stunning in her gown and veil.

I am literally obsessed with this dress. I have a stock photo of it saved on my phone. Why? I don’t know. It’s just so stinkin pretty.

Caitlin and her husband, Jesse, celebrated their wedding in Jena, Louisiana this past Saturday. Their daughter, Henley, made a special appearance for her bridals and the wedding! She is the CUTEST!

That pom pom hat... I can't...

Caitlin, you are stunning, my friend.

Caitlin & Jesse’s wedding was so much fun! Be on the lookout for their wedding photos soon!

"Remember you’re the one who can fill the world with sunshine."

Are y'all ready for this?! *Chair dances*

Last summer, a group of local vendors and I started collaborating on a stylized photoshoot. These are such a unique creative outlet and a wonderful way to see a vision brought to life. Our plans were sadly halted by a major flood in Baton Rouge, ruining the wedding gown & most of the props. But, we didn't let that stop our dream!

Months later we were able to join together again and move forward. On February 5, 2017, we headed to a private residence in Denham Springs. Everyone showed up ready to work & make magic. All in all the shoot lasted about 7 hours and involved a lot of work, and even more laughs. We had everything from cake, to décor, to hair & make-up, to stationary, and more. Look out for these images to be featured soon in Southern Celebrations Magazine!

Each bride chooses her details for a reason. Drawing out her beauty & personality is always my number one goal, but I love capturing the thoughtfully chosen elements in a way that tells a bride's story.

The best part?! Mon Cheri recently shared the shoot over on their blog! Talk about all the happy chair dances. I'm thrilled to have showcased the dress in a way that makes the designer proud.

How incredible are these intricate details?

This is definitely one for the books. <3

Bridal Portraits at Windsor Ruins // Port Gibson, Mississippi // Louisiana Wedding Photographer

We love bridal sessions around here, and Megan's was *to die for.* There was only one spot worthy of her gorgeous Kenneth Winston dress: the Windsor Ruins. Nestled 4 miles east of the Mississippi River, this historic location beams with beauty and elegance, just like Megan!

I tried to warn you... seriously stunning.

These ruins are pure magic.

And speaking of magic... Those two images were taken exactly two minutes apart, and have minimal Photoshop editing. I changed my off camera flash and camera settings to turn day into night (*magic!*). I love using this trick to make dramatic portraits for my clients!

Megan & Chad are HUGE car enthusiasts! I photographed them with their cars for their engagement session, and of course we included their Camaro for Megan's bridal portraits! I got to crank it while photographing the wedding, and let me tell you - that baby can purrrr!

I photographed Megan & Chad's wedding this past weekend, and it was incredible! I promise you've never seen another wedding like it. I can't wait to share the wedding images with you!

Shreveport Dog Photography Mini Sessions

Man oh man, I didn't know this much cuteness could fit into one blog post! The Christmas Mini Sessions to benefit TSR LA Baby Mommas Rescue were a huge success. Thank you to everyone who came out to support this great rescue! Be on the lookout for Valentine's Mini Sessions coming this month!

Cross Lake Engagement Portraits

C & K had their engagement photos taken at Ford Park on Cross Lake in Shreveport, Louisiana. I love when engaged couples include their pets in their engagement photos! They weren't sure that we could get a photo of both dogs looking at the camera, but I think we nailed it! I can't wait to photograph this sweet couple's wedding at Taylortown Store next year.
