The story of a photographer:
I was raised in the small town of Franklin, IL - "Home of the world's BEST burgoo" but I swear my dad's is 100x better. Growing up I had a strong love for interior design. My mother was/is very creative so I would watch her re-do rooms & flip furniture - that helped ignite my artistic creativity.
In 2019 I began my career with the State of Illinois in the Department of Corrections. after 6 years i can honestly say that i love my job and more importantly, i love the people i work with. That is also the year (& job) that I met my (now) husband, Cole. We have 2 boys - Judd (JT) & Banks, two German Shepherds Nevaeh + Chief, a DACHSHUND Mardi, & a cat P-Kitty.
if you know me, even the tiniest bit, you know i love new orleans. it is the city that stole my heart at a very young age and i travel there often! im an avid new orleans saints fan (i know, we suck) and i dream of the day that i'll get to relocate to the 504!
Being a mama, I found myself constantly picking up a camera or scheduling a session. There are so many milestones that I wanted to document! I decided why not just buy my own camera! i loved being the machine behind the camera. I was able to use my creativity while freezing such important moments in my life. and What started as a hobby, quickly became a business.
I am so grateful to be where I am today. Thank you to every single one of you, even if you haven't had a session with me - just being here on my website means more than you know.

“We've had the pleasure of working with Demi for multiple photo sessions, and each time has been such a wonderful experience. She's so easygoing and makes everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, which really shows in the photos. Her creativity and attention to detail always shine through - every set of images has turned out absolutely stunning! We can't recommend her enough.”
