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.

New Orleans Family Photographer
The Latest on Instagram
Parents of big kids, this one’s for you. It’s easy to think family photos are for the toddler years. But as these kids get older, they just get more interesting, love being silly again, and being the center of your attention during a photo session.
Are family photos fun? Oh, you betcha.
I’ve photographed this family for years, and this teen/tween session might be my favorite yet.

Pick one. French Quarter stairwells, colorful Bywater streets, Spanish moss in City Park, urban neighborhoods such as Algiers Point or private courtyards like Race + Religious?
Comment your favorite below. I’m curious which one wins.
Every senior session starts with picking the spot that feels most like you. Whether you’re the girl who wants the ironwork and shutters or the one who’d rather be under the oaks, there’s a corner of New Orleans that fits.
Class of 2027, I’d love to help you find yours. Fall senior sessions have begun!

The beauty of a private French Quarter courtyard.
We had the Hermann-Grima House all to ourselves, and sisters Zoe and Amelia made the most of every corner. Old brick, lush green, soft morning light, and these two looking absolutely stunning in their fall best.
Such a fun morning with the sweetest sister duo. Thank you for letting me capture it!

Maybe dad is dreading photos, picturing standing still and smiling on command.
Maybe the last session went exactly like that.
Twirl sessions are different. There’s a kid to toss in the air. A race to the oak tree. This session feels more relaxed and natural.
Ten minutes in, he’s asking for one more photo.
Send this to the dad who needs convincing.
