your moments,

genuinely captured

I'm Rayben...
& I'm so glad you're here

Based in West Point, MS, I serve families, seniors, and little ones across North Mississippi and beyond. Whether you're in Tupelo, Starkville, Columbus, Oxford, or anywhere in between, I'm here to capture the honest, in-between moments you'll want to hold onto forever.

My approach is simple: show up as you are. I’ll guide you through your session so it feels natural, not staged. We’ll laugh, maybe chase some golden light, and by the end of it, you’ll have images that feel like you — not a version of you posed for someone else’s idea of perfect.

If you’re looking for photos that feel personal, honest, and just a little bit magical, I’d love to work with you.

MEET your new favorite photographer

I’m Rayben, the face behind Coggins Photography. I’m a passionate family and lifestyle photographer based in West Point, Mississippi. My journey behind the lens began nearly a decade ago when I launched SRL Photography while studying at Mississippi University for Women in Columbus, MS. After taking time off to focus on my growing family, I rebranded and relaunched as Coggins Photography in November 2023—and I’ve never looked back.

Since day one, I’ve been devoted to capturing life’s most meaningful moments: from the tender beginnings of newborn life, to the joy and energy of high school seniors, to the love and connection of engagements and growing families. My bold, vibrant, and true-to-color style brings your memories to life—preserving them in a way that feels as real and beautiful as the moment itself.

As a proud wife, mom of two, and high school English teacher, I know how fast life moves. That’s why my mission as a lifestyle photographer is to help you pause, breathe, and hold onto the moments that matter most. When I’m not in the classroom or behind the camera, you’ll find me outdoors adventuring with my family and soaking up the beauty of small-town life in West Point.

Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply want to document this season of life, I’d love to be the one to help tell your story.
