Molly Beth, Class of 2020 | Senior Photography | Baton Rouge Senior Photographer | BRMHS & Downtown

This was one of my most favorite sessions to date! First of all, I love senior sessions. They're probably my favorite type of session. Second of all, I love this girl & her family so much. We had a blast taking these pictures! We had to reschedule a couple of times, first due to travel for college auditions, then due to Covid, then due to weather! Whew! But we finally were able to make it happen, and we were all so grateful the rain held off for us on this particular day! Actually, it was just about to rain when we were almost done, but Molly Beth had one more outfit left! Her mom, Sonya, grabbed an umbrella from her car just in case. How fitting that the umbrella has musical titles all over it! You'll see what I mean in the last couple of photos.

I can hardly believe this is the same girl who took the starring role as Annie at Theatre Baton Rouge not so long ago. I ran the sound board for that production, and was captivated every performance. A few years later I was her stage manager when she played Rusty in Footloose at the same theater. I've watched her take the stage in several other shows, like Ariel in The Little Mermaid at Ascension Community Theatre, and she is just a delight to watch. She is such a star, and always shows grace & kindness to everyone she meets. Molly Beth recently graduated with honors from Baton Rouge Magnet High School, and just recently headed off to Ohio Northern University to study Musical Theater. Can't wait to see what the future holds for this triple threat!

Mike, Becca, & family | Baton Rouge Family Photographer | Independence Park Botanical Gardens

I have so many pics to share with you today! It's too hard to narrow them down sometimes! I guess that's a good problem to have, right? 

Becca is one of my dearest friends, so it's always fun to get to take her family pictures! Michael & Levi are just so precious, and handsome too, am I right? And Becca's husband Mike is always cracking me up! This time, Becca's sister Celina joined the fun, too! I had a blast with this family, as always. Thanks, y'all!

Ashley V. | Headshots & Branding | Baton Rouge Photographer | Independence Park Botanical Gardens

Ashley is a very dear friend of mine, and she's also a new photographer. I've already been blown away by her beautiful pictures! We decided to get together, as she wanted to practice on me, and to be honest, I needed to practice too! Thanks to quarantine, it'd been forever since my last shoot, and I wanted to make sure I still remembered how! Haha! We had a blast walking around Independence Park getting these...even though it was probably 100 degrees, and we were melting! I am so happy with the pics Ashley got of me, and hopefully she likes hers too! Here are a few of my favorites. Thanks again, Ash! 

Hopefully Ash doesn't kill me for this last one; I couldn't help myself! Just a little outtake for you, and also a true representation of how we were feeling in the ridiculous heat & humidity!
