Lightroom 11 Smart Previews If you’re new here, I’m Maria! I’m a photographer-turned-private-editor. The number on question I get from my editing clients is “how the heck do I do smart previews?” Instead of re-writing that email, I thought I’d do a blog post. We’ll talk about how to do smart previews, what files your...
DeRidder Christmas Family Photos I have been photographing this beautiful family since 2015! Daughter number three, Lucia, could barely stand up the first time. (Don’t judge the photos in that post….my photography has improved A LOT in 6 years LOL). I’ve watched the oldest three girls grow, and I remember when Paloma was born. This...
Dry Creek Family Photographer This little one has grown SO much since his newborn session back in June! He is such a cutie, and normally so smiley. As soon as we put him on the blanket on his back the grin broke out, but when his mom and dad were holding him…nothing. We even had...

Dry Creek Family Photographer Stephen’s sister, Lauren, and her family came to visit us in October, and it was so lovely to see them!!

DeRidder Maternity Session I did these photos for Amanda and her family the same morning I photographed Faybein and Colton at Dry Creek Baptist Camp. How cool is it that these friends were expecting baby boys just a couple weeks apart?! I know they’re hoping Wyatt and Ezra will be good friends!! Ezra was born...
DeRidder Maternity Photos Little Wyatt was born last week so I figured it was about time I finished editing his mama’s maternity photos. It is so special to welcome a new little one, and I’m so glad I got to be a part of celebrating with Faybein and Colton! These two got married in May...
DeRidder Fall Mini Sessions DeRidder Fall Mini Sessions are here, and I am so excited!! I love working with families, and these sessions are a great way to meet some new friends and get some photos of the little ones without paying for an hour-long session. Let’s be honest, pretty much no kid (teenagers included)...
