new orleans family portrait session
wilkins family
The Wilkins Family are stunning, and it was a pleasure to work with them. Madison & Hope gave their mother a wonderful present—a family portrait session gift certificate for Christmas. What better way to celebrate the people you love than by capturing timeless memories together? Photography is a gift that grows more precious with time.

NEW ORLEANS FAMILY portrait SESSION
ADAMS FAMILY
When Hope reached out to me saying she wanted "Addams Family" vibes for her family session, I was instantly intrigued! I LOVE when clients have creative ideas for their photoshoots, and this was right up my alley. Her last name is Adams too, so the theme is just PERFECTION! To clarify, we visited the cemetery after hours to ensure we wouldn’t disturb anyone paying their respects to loved ones. We approached our surroundings with deep respect, avoiding any contact with graves. Though some might consider cemetery photography taboo, I appreciate the beauty that can be found in the shadows, revealing layers of history and emotion. Cemeteries hold a special place in New Orleans culture, celebrated for their historical significance and unique architecture. They are among our city’s most renowned landmarks, drawing visitors from around the world who are captivated by their beauty. To me, cemeteries symbolize a place of reflection, peace, and a celebration of life.

Tarter family
Capturing the Tarter Family was such a joy! Mom absolutely nailed the outfit coordination, perfectly complementing the stunning scenery of New Orleans. With its historic charm, endless oak trees draped in moss, and vibrant atmosphere, this city offers endless possibilities for unforgettable family portraits. If you’re dreaming of a session filled with warmth, connection, and timeless beauty, New Orleans is the perfect backdrop!

End of life session
Max
End of life sessions never fail to make me cry. There comes a time when our furry friends' faces turn white, their movements slow, and their old age begins to show. Owning a pet is an incredible experience, but also devastating when we realize our time with them cannot last forever. I truly believe that animals show us the purest form of unconditional love. Gabrielle reached out to me to capture some final memories with her senior fur baby, Max. Max just turned 13 years old during his photoshoot, and he was such a sweet boy. Max crossed the rainbow bridge shortly after our photoshoot, and I am so thankful I was able to capture these precious memories for his family.

Studio pet portrait session
Beignet
Beignet is the CUTEST rescue girl I have ever seen. Of course, since her name is Beignet, we had to do a Café Du Monde inspired setup! Her mama is also in the Navy, so we made sure to include some photos with a nautical backdrop too. Beignet is timid around new people. However, she was the PERFECT girl for her pet portrait photoshoot in studio and gave us all kinds of fun poses!

Scooby
Scooby was a remarkable 13 years old during his pet portrait session with his loving family. Senior dogs like Scooby hold a special place in my heart. It’s an honor and a privilege to capture their gentle spirits and the profound bond they share with their families. These sessions are more than just photographs—they’re cherished memories that tell the story of a lifetime of love, loyalty, and companionship. Being able to preserve these moments for families to treasure forever is one of the greatest joys of what I do.
