Leslie Whitaker is an award-winning maternity, newborn, and family photographer in Shreveport
Your Story Deserves to Be Remembered—From Bump to Baby
When you book both a maternity and newborn session with me, you’ll receive a complimentary Fresh 48 hospital session—a $395 value, gifted to you as a thank-you for trusting me with your journey.
These tender, first-day moments—tiny fingers, sleepy yawns, and the quiet awe of new life—fade so quickly. I’ll come to your hospital within 48 hours of delivery to gently capture it all, giving you timeless images of the day you first met your baby.
Because this story? It’s worth remembering from the very beginning.
Professional Photographer in Louisiana
hello.
Hi, I’m Leslie Whitaker—photographer, mother of five, and passionate artist. My journey into photography wasn’t traditional—I studied fine arts and culinary school before discovering my calling behind the camera after my first child was born. In 2020, I took a leap and went full-time, and I’ve never looked back.
What drives me isn’t just creating beautiful images—it’s helping women feel confident, seen, and truly beautiful. Whether it’s maternity, newborn, or boudoir, each session is designed to celebrate your story and your strength.
I’ve been honored as “Best Photographer” in the local Best of SB awards three years in a row, but my greatest pride is the trust of my returning clients and their referrals. Running a business and raising a family isn’t easy, but I lead with grace, grounded in faith and fueled by community.
If you're celebrating a milestone or simply honoring yourself, I’m here to guide you and capture memories that last a lifetime.
