Welcome to Twirl Photography

Welcome!
That's me holding the Oscar. As much as I would like to say you will be hiring an Academy Award Winner for Best Cinematography, unfortunately, it was only on loan. And yes, it really is heavy!
What I do want you to know about me is that I have been a professional photographer for over 25 years. Almost every day of my adult life I have created a picture. Seriously. It's been an incredible profession and life!
The first half of my career, I was a photojournalist at The New Orleans Times-Picayune newspaper where I was part of the staff that received the Pulitzer for public service recognizing coverage of Hurricane Katrina’s aftermath.
In 2010 I left journalism to start my own photography studio, Twirl Photography. And it's been a joy photographing families since 2010. I still photograph many of the kids, and their families, that started with me as newborns over a decade ago (gasp!).
I have also been honored to be named one of the Best New Orleans Photographers in Nola Family Favorites for over 9 years and counting.
WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLE
Photojournalism
During my time at the New Orleans Times-Picayune, I developed a love for emotional and raw photography. I bring this “in the moment” photography style to my portrait sessions to capture every candid, genuine, and natural moment with your family.
New Orleans Expert
A transplant to New Orleans over 20 years ago, I have made it my home and I am raising two natives. My knowledge of the area means we’ll have wonderful locations for your photo session, from beautiful historic homes and neighborhoods to the lush textures of the city's parks. I love exploring all the treasures in our own backyard.
Motherhood
As a mother, I understand the love and joy you feel for your children. I also know that sometimes our little ones can be a handful. I’m here to guide you through the process, create a comfortable environment for your kids, and showcase your family as you are, right now.
A PERSONAL PROJECT
For the past 12 years I have spent everyday in July photographing my children. I first started with my daughter who was four at the time. And then came along a little brother. This is a labor of love so my children will have a reminder of the whimsical childhood they have growing up in New Orleans and way for me to hold onto just a little bit of their youthful magic.

This one goes out to the moms. If you think you look bad in photos, I have news: it’s usually not you. It’s the bad angle, the harsh light, and whoever’s holding the phone.
Every mom deserves photos where she looks the way her kids see her.
My job is to handle the light, the posing, and the “chin forward just a little.” Yours is to show up and hug your kids.

Happy Halloween to all the kids living their best make-believe lives today. The capes, the crowns, the homemade costumes held together with tape and hope — this is the best kind of magic. And to all the parents that made it happen! I always love when I get a sneak peek during my October photo sessions of what’s to come on Halloween day. 🎃

There are a lot of reasons I love my job, but if I’m being honest, I might be in it for the baby snuggles, the doggie kisses, and the occasional free marshmallow. Nobody has to know.
The belly laughs, the happy chaos, and the “wait, that’s ME?!” moments at the back of the camera don’t hurt either.
Reach out to book your family photos and bring the marshmallows.
