Hi, I'm Jennifer. I love photographing kids who want to be a little silly, dads who love playing with their kids and moms who need to hang on to this moment in time!
I bring so much more than a camera to your family photo session. I bring a passion for storytelling, a wealth of experience capturing genuine moments, and a deep understanding of what matters to you most---your child.
I'm the owner and New Orleans photographer of Twirl Photography which I started in 2010, and I can't wait to make pictures for you!

New Orleans Photographer Jennifer Zdon
Capturing real moments is a passion I bring to every photoshoot for families, forget about striving for perfection. It's important to trust as a seasoned profession the chaos can lead to the moments you want to remember most.
In fact, I really hope your kids don't sit still and look at the camera for more than the first few minutes. We'll get those beautiful family portraits where every one looks great and then some.
It's the connections between your family that I am looking for most. Family photography in New Orleans should be fun, energetic and filled with laughter.
Joyful New Orleans Family Photography
Memories live in your photos.
If I could wave a wand and go back in time to spend one more day with my kids as roly-poly babies, I would do it in a heartbeat. But unfortunately, no such time machine exists and kids grow up. Except in photography. My memories live in photos.

There’s a certain kind of chaos that only happens this time of year.
This month has a way of steamrolling right over us, doesn’t it?
And while it might feel like everything is moving way too fast to even think about hitting pause, I want to gently remind you…
One day (soon), you’ll feel nostalgic for this season of chaos:
You won’t always have artwork taped to the fridge and backpacks dropped by the front door.
You won’t always be juggling playdates and bedtime stories and pleas for “just five more minutes.”
You won’t always be living in the beautiful blur of now.
So before this season speeds by—before school ends and summer sweeps in—let’s freeze a little piece of it.

There’s something magical about Longue Vue in the spring—the gardens are blooming, the light is soft, and everything feels fresh and full of life.
It’s the perfect time to capture your little ones as they are right now… because somehow, they’re growing faster than the weeds in your flower beds.
Join me for a spring mini session which is quick, easy, and focuses on the beauty of your family at this moment in time.
Spots are limited and the flowers won’t last forever—let’s make something beautiful together.

Academy of Sacred Heart Graduate Emily is headed to Cal State Long Beach for college and their prestigious dance department! 🌊☀️ She wanted her senior photos in New Orleans to have that SoCal vibe — think sunshine, beach feel and that carefree confidence. We may not have tall palm trees, but the sailboats and golden sunset along Lake Pontchartrain gave us the perfect West Coast feel right here in NOLA.
There’s something so exciting about being a senior — it’s that sweet spot between celebrating everything you’ve accomplished and dreaming about what’s next. College is a whole new adventure, and Emily’s got the brightest future ahead of her. Let’s go, Class of 2025! 🎓✨
