Private Photo Editing I didn’t even know editing photos for other photographers was a job a few years ago! I thought it was too big a part of the business to not do yourself, but I’ve learned it’s actually the opposite. When you’re business is growing you quickly learn you can’t do it all. There...
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...

After years...
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!! Katelyn and Emily are Benjamin and Clara’s only cousins, and they hadn’t seen each other since last Christmas. We know it’s hard to travel with little ones, so we are so...
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...
