I’m Rayben, the face behind the lens. I founded SRL Photography almost ten years ago while studying at Mississippi University for Women in Columbus, MS. After taking a break to focus on my family, I rebranded and relaunched as Coggins Photography in November of 2023.

Since the beginning, I’ve been dedicated to documenting life’s most precious experiences: from the joy of a newborn’s first days to the excitement of senior year and the magic of an engagement.

Based in West Point, I’m a proud wife and mother of two, and when I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me exploring the great outdoors with my family. During the day I'm teaching 9th graders English literature, but my passion lies in capturing all of the tiny moments we all too often forget.

My photography style is bold, vibrant, and true to color, aimed at making each moment pop with life and emotion. I strive to make every session feel more like spending time with a friend than just a photo shoot, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable experience. 

Thank you for considering me to capture your special moments. I can’t wait to create beautiful memories together!
