Baton Rouge Louisiana Birth Photographer


The Beginning of the Greatest Love Story


The birth of a child is unlike anything else — raw, powerful, sacred. It's the beginning of the greatest love story of our lives. A story written in first cries, quiet strength, trembling hands, and tearful joy.


It’s a day wrapped in emotion — anticipation, intensity, wonder, and love so big it shifts the ground beneath your feet. And yet, in the swirl of it all, so much is forgotten. The details fade. The hours blur. The sacredness of those moments begins to slip away.


That’s where I come in.


As your birth photographer, I quietly and respectfully preserve those moments — the squeeze of a hand, the look of awe, the quiet between the waves, the moment your baby takes their first breath and your world changes forever.


These images are more than photographs. They’re time capsules.

They help you relive that day, not just remember it. They remind you how strong you were, how deeply you loved, how beautiful it all was.

Because this is more than a birth story.


It’s your love story.


And it deserves to be remembered.



Fresh 48


A Fresh 48 session is a lifestyle photography session that takes place within the first two days after your baby is born, usually at the hospital or birth center. It is a chance to capture those raw, fleeting moments of your baby’s earliest hours, the tiny details, first cuddles, and the joy of welcoming them earthside. Unlike a posed newborn session, Fresh 48 photos are natural and heartfelt, preserving the real story of those first precious days so you can look back and remember exactly how it felt.

What happens if my birth ends up being a C-section?

A professional birth photographer allows your partner and support team to stay fully present in the moment instead of worrying about documenting it. I know how to work quietly, respectfully, and in any lighting situation to capture the raw emotion and story of your child’s arrival. These are images you’ll treasure for a lifetime, and having someone dedicated to preserving them ensures nothing is missed.

What happens if my birth ends up being a C-section?

I typically arrive once you’re in active labor. This is when you're between 5-6 centimeters dilated and usually when contractions are strong and consistent, and your care team expects things to keep progressing. This timing allows me to capture the story without arriving too early, while also ensuring I don’t miss those powerful hours leading up to your baby’s arrival. We’ll stay in touch as things progress so I know when it’s the right time to head your way.

What happens if my birth ends up being a C-section?

Births are unpredictable, so I’m on call for you at week 37. This means I keep my phone on 24/7 and am prepared to head to your birth place whether it’s a hospital, birth center, or home when you let me know things are progressing. My goal is to arrive in time to quietly document your story from active labor through those precious first hours with your baby.

What happens if my birth ends up being a C-section?

Birth is unpredictable, and while I do everything I can to arrive on time, sometimes babies decide to come a little quicker than expected. If that happens, you’ll receive a Fresh 48 session and in-home lifestyle session instead. This way, your story is still beautifully documented, with images of your baby in those tender first days.

Your comfort and boundaries are my top priority. Before your birth, we’ll meet in person to have a conversation about what you do and don’t want captured. Whether you prefer only the emotional reactions, the first moments of meeting your baby, or the full story including delivery, I’ll honor your wishes and photograph respectfully.

Every birth story matters. If a C-section becomes necessary, I’ll follow hospital policy about who can be in the operating room. If I’m not allowed in, I’ll continue documenting everything outside, your partner’s anticipation, baby’s first moments, and your first meeting. I’ll still tell the complete story of your baby’s arrival in a way that honors your journey.
