Luxury Holiday Maternity Photos | Magnolia Greenhouse

Nyla's maternity session is literally GORGEOUS right?!

We've already worked with Nyla for her daughter Kaia six month and first year photos but never actually photographed her family. What I love about maternity sessions with the whole family is how the session can be broken up into a mommy and me, dad and me, couple portraits, family portraits, and solo portraits! That's how I break all of our family shoots down! :) Nyla let me know that she's big on neutrals after I suggested a fall themed color pallet to her and neutrals fit right on in that color palette :)! Of course we texted back and forth about attire and decided to go with the burnt orange suit for Raheem and a cream dress for Kaia.

I recommended a few seamstress to Nyla and she went with @1990by_sclaxton who've we've worked with multiple times before! I absolutely LOVE what she was able to do with Nyla's maternity dress! Nyla gave her full creative control and she made her a gorgeous, gorgeous maternity dress! We originally had two other location options but I had been waiting for the right client (as in someone who would let us have full creative control over the session) to inquire and be willing to commute to the Magnolia Greenhouse. Nyla let me know she was okay with paying the permit fee, commuting to the location, and releasing creative control. Travel is 0.50 cents per mile so this location is $105 for us to travel to. This green house is amazing for my style of work, very lightand airy vibes with pops of color! WIN WIN !

French Quarter Anniversary Photo Shoot | Cafe Amelie

Ayanna & Ericโ€™s French Quarter Anniversary Photo Shoot โšœ๏ธ๐Ÿ–ค

This was their very first time taking photos as a couple, theyโ€™ve always done family photos with their kids so we were happy to make this such a fun and loving experience for them! :)

Ayanna wanted to use New Orleans, French Quarter as her location because of the architecture, colors, and overall vibe! She wanted something โ€œSO New Orleansโ€! ๐Ÿ˜‰

They planned to wear all black so we started inside of the courtyard @cafeamelie which was such a nice upscale location. We actually never shot in there because they were always closed! This day the gates were open and so was my aperture! ๐Ÿ˜›๐Ÿ˜‚

After getting most of their shots in Cafe Amelie for more of a themed session, we walked a few blocks and stopped at one of my favorite purple houses to get some more photos. The all black against the purple was one of my favorite looks.

We then went a little up the street and used one of my favorite nude backgrounds in the French Quarter which is PERFECT for fall photoshootsโœจ

If youโ€™re a couple looking for photos with variety, the French Quarter is for you! ๐Ÿฅฐโœจ

Wilfred and Dakota New Orleans Engagement Shoot| Henry Howard Hotel

๐Ÿ–ค๐ŸคWilfred & Dakotaโ€™s Modern Engagement Session ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿค

For this engagement session it was really important that their photos heavily complimented their wedding theme which was modern with black and white colors only. Their guest had to wear all black while the bride and groom would be the only ones in another color!

Since the couple went with all black attire for their engagement photos we figured the @henryhowardhotel would be the best location to tie things all together. The Henry Howard hotel has a lot of white on the property which makes black attire stand out beautifully. Also, they only require that you book a room to photograph on their property as a guest! Dakota & Wilfred actually gifted us with the room after the session was done since they didnโ€™t plan to use it! How sweet & thoughtful of them ๐Ÿฅฐ

We have literally been working with these two from the very beginning. A few years ago when I worked at @kayjewelers. Wilfred and I picked out the perfect ring for Dakota and ordered it in her preferred ring color, rose gold. We then planned a proposal which would be disguised as family portraits! Dakota literally had no idea once Wilfred dropped down to one knee in city park, New Orleans on the Langles Bridge! It was a beautiful moment for them! โœจ

Since then weโ€™ve done their family portraits, senior portraits, mommy & me sessions, and got booked for their wedding after they already booked elsewhere because we originally didnโ€™t have the availability. The loyalty here is real ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ!! Thank yโ€™all for continuously including us in your lifeโ€™s journey!! Wishing you two the absolute best! โค๏ธ

The Seraphim House and Race and Religious Maternity Photo Shoot

AJAโ€™s Maternity Shoot ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿƒ

I absolutely loved documenting Ajaโ€™s maternity shoot and I knew I would based on her inquiry. I love when you guys already have an idea of what youโ€™re looking for but need us to put our creative direction all over it. Your ideas should line up with our style of work which makes it easier to execute.โœจ

Aja emailed me her dress and suggested @theseraphimhouse as the location which is perfect for her lace dress. We only had to coordinate her husband and babies attire with her + the venue(your outfit can match the venue to pull out details ). Once the location and attire is in sync all we do is show up and bring it all to life. ๐Ÿฅฐ

Stylish Fall Family Portraits |New Orleans BEST Family Photographer

Mari, Clencie, and Dโ€™marr open field family portraits ๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿƒ

When Mari first contacted us she was very detailed in her inquiry letting us know exactly what she wanted. We knew the location, attire preference, and possible props. Their outfit colors are sage, dark brown, and nude which I thought was cute and different than what we normally document. The color pallet worked out extremely well in the yard especially once we added the bench.

This was our first time traveling over two hours for backyard family portraits. I was excited that people want to work with us all over Louisiana! We enjoyed doing their session, everyone was cooperative, timely, and fun!!

Thanks again for booking us for your first family portrait session!! These memories will last a lifetime.๐Ÿฅฐโœจ
