the heart behind Alana Mae Photography!

Based in Lake Charles, Louisiana, I’m a portrait photographer with a passion for capturing life’s most meaningful moments.. from the joy of “I do” to the tiny toes and tender snuggles of your newborn’s first days.

I am a 31 year old wife, mom to three, and a photographer! I live in Lake Charles, La with my little family and our cat Scully. I am a pro at binge watching my favorite shows like The Office, Supernatural, and Schitts Creek. I will probably make a pop culture reference at least once during our session, so if you like those shows you will definitely love my cheesy jokes. lol.

I have been photographing portraits since 2016 when my parents got me my very first camera for Christmas. I specialize in both lifestyle & newborn photography, and I consider it the greatest honor to document your journey through love and life. Whether it's your first kiss as newlyweds or the first moments with your baby in our cozy studio, I strive to create timeless, heartfelt images that will live on for generations.

My style is natural, warm, and storytelling-focused. I want you to feel relaxed, seen, and celebrated.. whether we're capturing the magic of your wedding day or the quiet beauty of your baby’s earliest days.

When you work with me you won't get someone that just pushes a button, edits your pictures, and is on their way.. with me you will become a friend to me. I invest myself 100% into every session I do. I love getting to know you personally.. finding out your story. Finding out how you and your spouse met, where you are going to college, your family story. Getting to know you and your personalities help me to create images for you to cherish forever. I look forward to working with you.

Let’s create something beautiful together — from your love story to your growing family.
