|| "NOLA People (Are My Kind of People)" || Super || "NOLA People (Are My Kind of People)" || Super Sunday is a massive Mardi Gras Indian event, but the Friday kickoff at Dew Drop Inn (@dewdropinnnola) was an intimate performance by Big Chief Monk Boudreaux and the Golden Eagles—Em & I had a blast. If you don't know about Monk, look him up - he's a local NOLA legend & a super friendly down-to-earth dude with amazing stories to tell from a life in Mardi Gras Indian traditions & the New Orleans music scene. His grandsons J'wan (@jwanbspybo13agle) & Marwan (@_marlence) also put on a solid show... no surprise there since Grammy-noms run in the family!

|| 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.
