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.

To the Moms Who Embrace the Chaos—This One`s for You
Here`s to the moms who lean into the drama, laugh through the mishaps, and turn chaos into cherished memories. I`ve witnessed it all—tears, tantrums, sudden downpours, and sibling squabbles threatening to derail the perfect family photo.
But it`s those incredible moms who throw up their hands and say, “Oh, the heck with it,” who truly save the day. With a smile and a sense of humor, they jump into the moment—while their kids look on in awe—and make magic out of mayhem.
Whether it`s a toddler meltdown or a teenager`s silence, these are the real, unscripted memories we`ll (probably) laugh about someday—and maybe even miss.
You all deserve the Best Mom Ever award. Happy Mother`s Day!
