Documenting Real Life, Beautifully.
Lafayette Newborn & Family Photographer — Mallory Stanford
Welcome — I’m Mallory Stanford, a lifestyle photographer based in Lafayette, Louisiana, specializing in newborn, family, maternity, and senior sessions. My approach is simple: authentic, connection-driven photography that tells your story with heart. Whether we’re celebrating your growing family, your baby’s first days, or your senior year, I’ll create timeless images that feel genuine, emotional, and completely you.
Photography That Feels Like Home
I believe the best photos happen when you’re comfortable — laughing with your kids, holding your newborn close, or just being yourself. My sessions are relaxed, fun, and full of connection. I’ll guide you naturally so you never feel stiff or unsure, helping you focus on what really matters: the love and joy you share.
Sessions That Tell Your Story
From cozy in-home newborn sessions to golden-hour family photos and milestone senior portraits, every session is designed to fit your season of life. I work throughout Lafayette and the Acadiana area, capturing the light, laughter, and emotion that make your story uniquely yours.
Session Types:
-Newborn Sessions: Gentle, in-home storytelling that captures your baby’s first days.
-Family Sessions: Playful, heart-centered portraits filled with real connection.
-Maternity Sessions: Celebrate the beauty of your motherhood journey.
-Senior Sessions: Confident, personality-filled portraits that mark your milestone.
Photography is more than just pictures to me — it’s preserving the emotion behind them. As a mom and artist, I understand how quickly life changes, and I want you to have images that help you remember what this time felt like. My goal is to create an experience that’s relaxed, joyful, and deeply meaningful.
