Do you all remember how I went to Mardi Gras last year and took a bunch of photos? Well I’m headed back again this year and ready to rock again. And this time, I’d love to work with anyone who needs some portrait action down there. Little kids all dressed up in homemade costumes for the parades? Let’s do a little family session! Your krewe needs a refresh for the webpage? I’m there. Engaged and want to capture some of the city you love? I’m on it!
I went to school in New Orleans and lived there for a bit after graduation. Katrina hit my senior year of college and I watched the city pick itself back up. New Orleans is a deeply personal place for me, but also a place I hardly know. When you go to college in a town, you really only experience life as a college student, and half of that through a silly self-induced drunken stupor.
I spent five years in New Orleans. Four and a half amazing years and one positively terrible final six months. College is pretty much awesome wherever you go, I’ve gathered, but I spent those years in one of the most delightful, challenging and historical places around. New Orleans will always hold a very, very dear place in my heart. Just like these folks.
