Mini Newborn Session in Soft Pinks | Shreveport Baby Photographer

There’s something so timeless about keeping things simple during a newborn session. This sweet baby girl’s mini session was styled in soft pinks and creams — just enough color to bring warmth, without ever feeling busy.

Mini newborn sessions are perfect for families who love the look of my full studio work but want something short and sweet. These sessions focus on wrapped poses, keeping baby snug and content while allowing us to capture a variety of angles, textures, and tiny details in less than an hour.

From her delicate lips to her full head of hair, every moment of this session felt peaceful. The soft stretch wraps, the creamy knits, and the dainty floral headbands all came together to create a beautiful, cohesive gallery her parents will treasure forever.

If you’re expecting and want a stress-free newborn experience that still gives you those classic, professional portraits — my Mini Newborn Sessions are a wonderful option.

Pink Bow Cake Smash Session | Shreveport Baby Photography

There’s something so timeless about a cake smash session with a soft and simple setup. This sweet baby girl’s milestone session took place in my Shreveport studio, surrounded by delicate pink ribbons, warm natural light, and the sweetest vintage high chair.

We started the session with a few mother-daughter portraits, both dressed in coordinating pink. Her bright smile and oversized bow stole the show right away.

Then came the cake. I styled the high chair with soft textured blankets, white balloons at the base, and a minimalist cake topped with a satin bow. She was curious, expressive, and gave us the full range of emotions that make first birthday sessions so unforgettable.

I love including a mix of close-up details, wide shots that show the set, and candid in-between moments. These images tell the story of who they are at this age, which is exactly why milestone sessions are so special.

If your little one has a birthday coming up, now’s the perfect time to schedule their cake smash session and create memories you’ll treasure for years.
