|| Series – "NOLA People (Are My Kind of People)" || Series - "NOLA People (Are My Kind of People)" || Kicking off a new photo series with this moment from Mardi Gras 2025! There's something truly magical about how #NOLAPeople come together during Carnival season. Since moving to New Orleans in January, I've been out & about capturing some of the extraordinary characters who give the city its soul. Coming up, I'll be sharing a few of my favorite portraits in no particular order. Enjoy, & let's connect! If you live in #NewOrleans or you are planning to visit #CrescentCity, I'm booking sessions for portraits, headshots, personal branding, & event photography this summer! Hit follow & DM me for booking details.

|| Series – "NOLA People (Are My Kind of People)" || Series - "NOLA People (Are My Kind of People)" || New Orleans has parades year-round & the pulse of every one is the marching bands... the intensity in this dude's eyes says everything about what it means to be part of that tradition!

Zinovis Family Portraits pt. II / Sisters, mothers Zinovis Family Portraits pt. II / Sisters, mothers & daughters, father & daughter, father & sons... I love doing the little breakout sessions & seeing how the various personalities & family dynamics play out. This was a great family to photograph... lots of love there to capture.
