1. Relax, Connect & Capture Truly You Moments


At Arielle N. Photography, engagement sessions are all about comfort and authenticity. Whether you're strolling through Baton Rouge, wandering the scenic streets of New Orleans, or enjoying an intimate moment at a local park, these sessions let your love shine through—relaxed and real. These shoots offer a gentle rehearsal for your wedding day, helping you feel more at ease in front of the camera.


2. Craft Photos That Tell Your Story


Arielle specializes in personalized sessions—whether it’s at a favorite spot or a backdrop that reflects your story.

What to Do

Choose a meaningful location

Think of where your love story thrives—your favorite date spot, a backyard tucked with memories, or a place that feels like you. This adds both emotional and visual depth.

Select a time that flatters

Aim for soft, warm lighting—either early morning or golden-hour sunset—for dreamy, flattering images.

Bring outfits you love—and feel good in

Stick to subtle tones or pieces that reflect your style without overpowering the moment.
