Artist's Statement
I TRANSFORM THE
OF A WEDDING
DAY, WITH ITS CONSTANT MOTION, INTO A
STAND THE TEST OF
OF POWERFUL IMAGES THAT WILL
Prior to a wedding day I always meet with my clients to talk about the way they want their memories captured. Holly and Matt wanted photographs that were playful, romantic, with a little bit of an editorial feel mixed in. I consider that my specialty! Check out this gallery to see all the pretty!

It was important for Emilie and Brad to have their dogs with them during their engagement session. I LOVE when couples do this. I've photographed pets during wedding days, bridal sessions, engagement sessions and more. I did a mix of fun, playful, and romantic directing that turned into the perfect photographs for them.

I call my style "lived in romance". It's romantic, playful, and raw all at the same time. I focus on moments over things and prioritize real over the contrived. I believe a photograph should make you feel something deep in your soul. Take a look at recent weddings.
"I was more picky about choosing a photographer than any other vendor and I can say that we chose the right one 100%, without a doubt! You are the best of the best and we are so thankful for the time you've invested in us and in our photos! They are so perfect!"

“We couldn't be happier with Clover. It was truly an elegant experience from start to finish. We were treated like royalty.”

“Our pictures from Clover are breathtaking. I still can't believe that's actually us. What an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience”

Although my main focus is weddings, I like to fill my calendar with family, boudoir, maternity, and portraits sessions in the off season.
Do you shoot more than weddings?
Since no two weddings are exactly the same, I offer custom pricing for each client. A traditional wedding starts at around 5,000. Contact me for elopement pricing.
What is the price point?
Most of my clients book 1 year or more in advance. About 10% book 6-9 months before their wedding day.
When Should I Book?
Do you travel within the US?
Absolutely! Although I am a New Orleans wedding photographer, I shoot many destination weddings each year and love photographing out of the country as well.
What's your photographic specialty?
I specialize in weddings, engagements, bridals, elopements, and boudoir.
What Is Your Photography style?
I focus on images that are true to color and on the brighter side. I want to show your day just how it was without heavy-handed editing.
Do you shoot film or digital?
For weddings I will typically shoot a few rolls of film. With engagement or bridal sessions I will sometimes do about half the session on film and the rest on digital.
Do You Photograph Proposals?
New Orleans proposals are one of my favorite things to photograph. I even help plan them. Contact for details!
How many Weddings to You accept per year?
15. It's all about the client experience. I want my couples to have a great time working with me. Limiting the number of weddings I accept helps me give them an unforgettable experience.
