Lake Charles Photographer — Unscripted, On-Location Sessions
Real stories, real SWLA. Book your session today.
Short Notice? No Problem. Need a headshot or branding session fast? I often accommodate last-minute bookings. I can’t guarantee every request, but I’ll always do my best to fit you in—no stress, no judgment.
I’m Dalton Barron—a creative photographer rooted in Southwest Louisiana.
My approach? Unscripted, on-location, and honest.
After years photographing SWLA weddings, I bring the same artistry and storytelling to portraits, headshots, and branding for anyone who refuses to be average.
I believe the best photos happen where you live, work, and create—not in a studio.
If you’re ready for images that feel like you, let’s talk.

Professional, No Drama.
If my style or pricing isn’t for you, that’s okay. We’ll part as friends—no hard feelings, no rants, ever. Just honesty and respect.
On-Location, Always.
No studios. No fake backdrops. All sessions are shot in locations that matter—your workspace, your favorite part of town, or anywhere that feels like you.
Real Photos. Real People. Real SWLA.
I capture genuine moments, personality, and story—never cookie-cutter poses or generic images.
