Celebrating Legacy and Light in Covington, LA

As a family photographer in Covington, LA, it’s sessions like this that stay with me. The Singley family’s Mother’s Day session was more than just a photo shoot — it was a celebration of legacy, connection, and womanhood. With grandma turning 85, the family took the opportunity to gather four generations of strong women (and some adorable little ones!) for a session filled with laughter, light, and love.

The Family Property: A Place of Roots and Memories

Hosting the session on the family property brought a grounded, heartfelt tone to the portraits. Familiar trees, cozy porches, and well-loved spaces framed each image with authenticity. The comfort and history in the surroundings allowed for natural interactions, making every shot feel lived-in and meaningful.

Glowing Moments in Golden Hour

Golden hour didn’t disappoint. As the sun dipped low, it bathed the family in a gentle glow that mirrored the warmth between them. I was thrilled by what I saw through my lens — real smiles, unposed hugs, and a soft glow that made everything shine.

Strength, Joy, and Connection

The Singley women stood at the heart of this session. Their strength, love, and joy radiated through the images. Prompts helped spark interaction, but much of the magic came from simply letting them be together. The photos reflect that: a legacy of love passed from one generation to the next.

  • Choose a meaningful location like a family home or favorite park
