Keepin' it Natural
Hi, I'm Arielle!
You deserve photos that look like you and an experience where you feel comfortable being yourself. Whether you're planning your wedding, celebrating a milestone, or anything in between, I want you to enjoy the time we spend together. I'll help you with posing, listen to your ideas, and take care of the details so you can focus on the people and moments that matter to you.
My Story
I'm the photographer behind Arielle N. Photography, based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana!
My passion for photography started with Magnolia Ceremonies, my mom's wedding officiating and coordination business. I began photographing the intimate weddings she officiated in 2013, and what started as helping out quickly grew into something I truly loved. I still work alongside my mom to this day, and I'm also a professional wedding officiant and coordinator myself!
Over the years, I've had the privilege of photographing weddings, engagements, proposals, families, maternity, graduations, and so many other milestones. No matter the occasion, my goal has always been the same: to capture genuine moments and give you photographs you'll love looking back on for years to come.
You Don't Have to Know How to Pose!
Fun fact: I'm also a professional model! So I know firsthand what it's like to be on the other side of the camera.
I understand that having your picture taken can feel awkward, especially when you aren't sure what to do. That's where I come in! I'll guide you through poses, offer suggestions, and create a relaxed environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself.
Whether it's your wedding day, a family session with little ones running around, or celebrating a graduation, I want the experience to feel easy, enjoyable, and completely you.
My photography style is natural and true to color, with a mix of timeless portraits and candid moments that capture the real emotions of the day.
A Little More About Me
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll probably find me reading, watching movies, or exploring somewhere new!
I'm a HUGE fan of Harry Potter, so there's a good chance we could spend an entire session talking about that.
I'm also a big Stephen King fan! I actually got to meet Stephen King himself in Bangor, Maine (aka Derry, iykyk), and it's a day I'll never live down! I'm also on a mission to collect every single one of his books, so my bookshelf is definitely a work in progress.
I'm pretty laid-back by nature, and I love getting to know the people I photograph. I want you to feel comfortable sharing your ideas, asking questions, and having fun throughout the entire experience.
An Absolute Sweetheart
"Arielle was an absolute sweetheart. She had great ideas for our photos and was kind enough to let my husband do a few poses that were special for us. I highly recommend her to capture your special day!"
- Sharon, Bride
You're In Good Hands
With years of experience behind the camera, over 100 five-star Google reviews, and recognition as one of the Top 3 Best Rated Wedding Photographers in Baton Rouge by ThreeBestRated, I'm proud of the trust my clients place in me.
But what matters most to me isn't just delivering beautiful photos. It's making sure you feel comfortable, cared for, and confident throughout the process.
From helping you plan your session to guiding you through poses and capturing those unexpected little moments, I'm here to make photography one less thing you have to worry about.
