It’s New Orleans. The threat of rain is very real!! But the weather (as you know) can be very unpredictable. The forecast says one thing, and then you look outside the window to sunshine and puffy white clouds. If we’re scheduled to do pictures outside, we’ll still shoot if it’s overcast, but if it’s actively […]

We spend a lot of time talking about what mom should wear, what the kids should wear, but what about dad??? I love dads in a button-down shirt, with either jeans, khakis, or nice slacks. Choose a shirt that isn’t too loud. No big bold bright colors, or really bold prints. They can be really […]

…that everyone dreads. I don’t think anyone has ever expressed enthusiasm about showing up with 10+ other family members to take family photos. There’s one person in the group who thought it should happen, and basically dragged/coerced everyone else to come. There are promises of ice cream, treats, maybe a special surprise (yes sometimes for […]

Your child’s safety always comes first. I see most newborns in the first 2 weeks of their life. Scrolling through my website, and my Instagram feed, you should already have a sense of my style, and how I shoot newborns. First off, I always shoot them indoors, in the studio.

Most families take a holiday photos, and I fully support this idea. My family never did, but I wish they had!! The only holiday photos I have are those awkward ones of everyone standing around the Christmas tree looking uncomfortable. Christmas family photos with me aren’t your typical photos. I’m not a big fan of […]

Have you ever gone to a friend’s house and said  “Hey Alex (or whoever)! Can you get your laptop so we can scroll through those pictures of your trip to Mexico together?” No? Neither have I. For one, looking at pictures on a computer screen is one of my least favorite things to do. I […]

How do you pick outfits for your family session? I get this question about once a week. And here’s my best advice: Blend, don’t match. Pick colors that work well together, that complement each other. You don’t have to be matchy-matchy. The whole family doesn’t need to show up wearing white. I recommend button-down shirts […]

It may seem early, but it’s not!! Life gets hectic and before you know it on Dec 11, you’re sending out an email to see if you can squeeze in a mini session in time for Christmas. Books are open for holiday minis. Details are below. Book it early!!   Minis will be held on: […]

Ham it up!! There are so many cute outfits for kids. There is no shortage of fun outfits for them! While for the adults I suggest keeping the colors neutral, I don’t feel the same about kids. They have giant personalities, and I love for that to be reflected in what they’re wearing. The one […]
