Family Property

Our favorite! Using your personal property is a great way to add an intimate and unique touch to your engagement photos. Your photos will be that much more special and we get to know your personalities that much better. Whether it’s a property that has been in your family for years or something much newer, we’d love to make it the setting for your engagement session in Lafayette!

In Your Home

Having your engagement photos taken in your home is another favorite of ours. Showing off your personality is a must when it comes to your engagement session, and inviting us into your home adds a beautiful and personal touch to all of your images. Plus, if you have little fur babies around, they can easily be included in the session!
