I chase light.  Sometimes that light is within my large private studio located in Shreveport, LA.  Other times, I chase the sun.  

I specialize in boudoir, maternity, newborn and family photography.

Studio Newborn Session | Classic Neutrals + Cozy Family Moments

June 02, 2025

There’s something about neutrals and simplicity that lets the beauty of a newborn shine through. This studio newborn session was calm, timeless, and filled with the kind of love that quietly takes your breath away.

From the first frame, this baby boy melted into each pose like he had been practicing for weeks. We began with warm, creamy tones on a soft-textured backdrop, and I couldn’t get enough of how perfectly his red-blonde hair and peaceful expressions paired with the earthy palette.

We moved through a handful of classic looks—baby wrapped snugly in white, curled up in cozy knits, and laying naturally in soft beige tones. Each setup allowed his features to take center stage: those fluttery lashes, perfect pout, and delicate fingers wrapped around a tiny bear.

But as always, some of the most meaningful moments came when I brought mom and dad into the frame. Their quiet awe, the way dad gently supported baby’s head while mom looked on with pride—those are the frames that will mean even more 5, 10, 20 years from now.

This session is proof that simplicity never goes out of style. With gentle light, a neutral palette, and love you can feel, we created images that will forever tell the story of his earliest days.
