Mama gave me complete creative freedom. She didn’t care what colors I used, and whenever I get my choice of colors I stay far away from traditional blue and pink. I do those so much it’s just fun to do things differently sometimes! I absolutely love using GREEN with girls, and I think it turned out well using green for boy/girl twins! Adding in a hint of pink pulled it together.

This sweet baby girl. Her Mama is obsessed with boho, but with a Texas twist. Boho is totally my style. My studio has been that way for 5+ years, and I’m so glad that Alyissa found me for her maternity and newborn sessions. We actually did Mama’s maternity session outside by the bayou and she wore some of my gowns. In one of them she added a pair of her boots and some western jewelry and it was absolutely precious!

Allison and her sweet family came into the studio last month for their maternity photos and they’ve already been back for their newborn photos too! Baby was born at 38 weeks. :)
Read MoreSometimes babies cry during family photos. I actually have started spitting the session up, especially if there are siblings. I do some table work with baby first, then family photos, then move to props. Sometimes by the end of the session the baby is just about tired of my games and then adding in family on top of that just isn’t the ticket. Parents always want those sweet family photos and I have to be mindful of my clients wishes when I am planning the session, and then I have to go with the flow sometimes too.
Read MoreThe Ebarbs are THE CUTEST! They are also chicken farmers, and I find that to be pretty cool. The world needs all kinds of people and professions to keep it going and I love that the Ebarbs are dedicated to a field that isn’t for the weak. I can’t even imagine the early mornings they go through.
Read MoreI spend most of my time photographing Women. From Senior girls, to expectant mothers, for boudoir and mom’s with their newborns…. I like to say that I focus on photographing women during the most important times in their lives. The three women you’ll see below were first clients and are now friends. Naturally when I posted that I was looking for women to represent prominent women in black history- they were game!
Keeping reading to find out who they are representing and more about each woman and the things they accomplished in their lives.
Harriet was born into slavery in March of 1822. In 1849 she escaped from Maryland to Philadelphia and soon after returned to rescue her family. She would eventually save approximately seventy slaves, including family and friends. She always traveled by night, was known as “Moses” and ‘never lost a passenger’ during her travels.
In 1850 the Fugitive Slave Act was passed. This Act required that all escaped slaves, when captured, be returned to their slaves and it also stated that even citizens of free states had to cooperate. After this act was passed Harriet helped guide the ones, she saved, farther north into what is now Canada.
Harriet was the FIRST woman to lead an armed expedition in The Civil War. She guided the raid at Combahee Ferry and helped to liberate more than 700 slaves during that raid.

Dellia as Rosa Parks (Rosa Louise McCauley)
Rosa was born in February of 1914. In 1943 Rosa Parks became a member of the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP, and she served as its secretary until 1956.
In 1955, on December 1st, Rosa was riding a crowded city bus in Montgomery, Alabama. The driver asked Rosa and other Black passengers to surrender their seats and stand, Rosa refused. She was then arrested and fined $10 for the offense and $4 for court costs, neither of which she paid. Instead, she accepted Montgomery NAACP chapter president E.D. Nixon’s offer to help her appeal the conviction. Over the next calendar year the buses were boycotted and suffered great financial loss as 70% of their ridership was made up of African Americans in Montgomery.
On November 13, 1956, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a lower court’s decision declaring Montgomery’s segregated bus seating unconstitutional, and a court order to integrate the buses was served on December 20th of 1956. The boycott ended the following day. For her role in these important steps Rosa became known as the “mother of the civil rights movement.”

Jessica as Sojourner Truth (Isabella Van Wagener)
Sojourner was born into slavery in 1797, she was freed in 1827 when New York state abolished slavery. Beginning during her childhood, Sojournor had visions and heard voices, which she attributed to God. In New York City she would preach in the streets, and she joined Elijah Pierson’s Retrenchment Society and eventually his household.
In 1843 she left New York City and took the name Sojourner Truth. Feeling lead to “travel up and down the land,” she sang, preached, and urged her listeners to accept the biblical message of God’s goodness and the brotherhood of man. In the same year, she was introduced to apoliticism in Massachusetts and then spoke on behalf of the movement throughout the state. In 1850 she traveled throughout the Midwest, where her reputation drew heavy crowds. She supported herself by selling copies of her book, The Narrative of Sojourner Truth,
Encountering the Women’s Right Movement in the early 1850s, and encouraged by other women leaders, she continued to appear before suffrage gatherings for the rest of her life.

Family photos are SUPER IMPORTANT. Believe me. I lost my own Mama in 2021 and I miss her so much. She’d gone with my kids and I a few years prior and took Christmas Tree Farm photos with us. I treasure those photos so much! Take pictures with your parents. Take pretty professional photos with your parents. I promise, promise that you will treasure them!
Read MoreYou may think to yourself, “ I don’t need to take maternity photos, they aren’t that important to me.” BUT, I can promise you that you’ll regret it. I literally haven’t met a single client who had a previous baby and skipped maternity photos that didn’t regret their choice.
Read MoreIt’s seriously THE BEST when it’s sunny outside for a newborn session. Natural light is my favorite way to shoot, especially lifestyle family images like the ones you see below.
Read MoreWell, Jessica gave me this one. She got it for her session, and left it with me after her photos. But, really. I have a problem. I have a list a mile long of gowns that I want. I’d probably buy one EVERY SINGLE WEEK if I could.
Read MoreSenior girls are my jam. I love coming up with unique ideas to make their senior photo session one of a kind. I don’t know about you but standing out is fun for me! My girls always get hair and makeup done by my staff stylist Hailey - she really knows what she’s doing, and I love how natural Makayla looked for her photos. She doesn’t normally wear makeup, so we wanted to make sure she felt comfortable and liked her photos too. I love how Hailey kept her skin fair and she just shinned through!
Read MoreI seriously have the most adorable babies in studio!!! I feel like they have all looked different lately too. So many people say babies look all alike, but I totally disagree. Maybe it’s because I LOVE babies and I get to stare and fret over yours for a few hours, but they all look different to me.
Read MoreNerves? GIrl, I’ve GOT YOU. I have ridiculously gorgeous gowns, all from THE ORIGINAL DESIGNER. We don’t do copy cat around here girl! You get the real deal when you work with me. All you have to bring is some nude undies and a strapless bra. I take care of the rest.
Read MoreI’ve now worked with Megan twice. She signed up for my maternity model call earlier this year, I was revamping my maternity style. She then booked newborn with me too, and has already booked Daisy’s Sitter Milestone Session and her cake smash!
I absolutely love Megan, we’ve become friends, and I’m so excited to see sweet Daisy in the studio again. :)
What made you choose Leslie Whitaker for your Maternity session?
The opportunity for a low cost model call was what inspired me to get photos with Leslie. Otherwise I would have missed out completely on getting any professional maternity pictures done.
What were you nervous about going into your session?
I was mostly worried about looking fat in my final photos and not having the beautiful round belly look I had always hoped for in maternity photos. I was also worried that Leslie was going to want me to take my clothes off……... Lol
What was your favorite part of your session experience?
Leslie made me feel extremely comfortable very early in the session and felt more like a friend than just a photographer.
How do you feel now that you have completed your session and received your images?
I LOVED every second of it!!! I feel beautiful seeing every single photo she took!
Would you recommend Leslie to other ladies looking to book a maternity session? Why?
Absolutely! She is a great photographer and does amazing work! Her ability to make everyone who walks into her studio feel like a million bucks is uncanny! 10/10 will continue to recommend and hope to book again with her one day!

It’s best to book your maternity session during your second trimester, we typically schedule your session for around 30-34 weeks. Newborns can be scheduled up to 6-8 weeks old, but the earlier the better!
The studio has the most beautiful natural light, I’m really obsessed with it. I’ve been specializing in newborn photos for more than 5 years and I’ve always done a lifestyle style of family photos, and I’m so excited to announce that I am now able to offer a Lifestyle Newborn Session all of the time.
These sessions take less time, because baby is wrapped for most of the session. Baby is also able to be in a natural environment and we capture natural posing as well. She might have always stuck her left hand up in the womb, she’ll probably do that during the session too and I’ll get to capture that. How special will it be to look back on that as she gets older, maybe show it in the slideshow at her rehearsal dinner.
We will still get detail images of lips, lashes, toes and fingers along with gorgeous images of your family with the new addition.
I do my best to make sure the entire experience is as easy as possible for my parents. We have a toy area for older siblings with books, coloring activities and toys for all ages. We even have a stocked fridge with drinks, snacks and treats. Mom can even add on hair and makeup styling by our licensed stylist. Let us handle the fuss, you just show up and relax while we capture your memories.
You’ll be in studio about an hour and then we will meet in person 3-5 days later for an image reveal appointment; we can also do this over zoom. If you’d prefer an online gallery so that you can view in your own time, an additional fee is required. I can also promise you that you’ll LOVE more than 8 images, so just prepare yourself. :)
Check out Georgia’s sweet gallery below. Her parents have been trying for many years to have a baby, had given up and then Georgia appeared. She really is a blessing, and is such a sweet baby. I’m so glad Marti allowed me to capture these sweet images for her.
Sarah and Dylan are the cutest couple, and don’t you just LOVE that they named their baby girl Anastasia?! I don’t think I’ve had that name in studio, EVER!
Anastasia was perfect for me during her session. She didn’t wake at all. She had that adorable little baby snore, that just makes me swoon. I loved every second with her and all the baby snuggles.
Mama wore a dress from my client closet and dad brought a couple of different shirts and let me pick what he wore, and his hair was epic. Mama’s hair and makeup was provided by my studio stylist, Hailey. I try to take care of everything for my parents, so that they don’t have another stress when it comes to their first family photos. I think the whole process should be easy for you, the client.
We’re already booking into Fall, so reach out to book soon. I’d love to chat with you.
What made you choose Leslie Whitaker for your Newborn Photo Session?
I had previously looked at her profile for a newborn session and happened to see she had a drawing for some to be done! she does amazing work for what i looked at on her profile!
What were you nervous about going into your newborn’s photo session?
I wasn’t really nervous about anything! I didn’t really know how it was gonna play out though because i’ve never had professional pictures done before!
What was your favorite part of your session experience with Leslie?
All of it! I loved how gorgeous Leslie’s stylist, Hailey, made me feel!!
How do you feel now that you have completed your session and received your newborn images?
I am happy to have them!! Leslie did such a wonderful job taking pictures of my daughter and all of us as a family!

Yes, I absolutely would! She was so sweet & made me feel welcomed & once again did an AMAZING job on our pictures!!
