The photographer behind Twirl always suggests an excellent location and timing so you get magical photos. No surprise there: some of the historic photos published in the Times Picayune from the Katrina era were hers. Ditto some actors' head shots you may see in posters and programs for shows around town. She's even got a Pulitzer to show for it (the journalism, not the head shots). But enough about her background. You'll start with a dialogue defining what you want to come out of your session. Then when the time (and light) is right, meet up with Jenn for a dynamic photo session with a mix of carefully posed compositions and some carefree, "just look like you're running to the ice cream truck!" shots. It's busy but a lot of fun. Out of all that, expect some good choices for your album.

Jennifer recently photographed my headshots. I knew I needed new portraits of myself, but I was…read moredreading it because I hate being in front of the camera. Jennifer quickly assured me that it would be painless, and she was absolutely right. She coached me through the whole session made me laugh, and it felt like I was actually working with a friend. This was my first experience of actually enjoying being in front of the camera. I look like a better version of myself without it looking stiff or retouched. If you are looking for an easy stress-free, headshot or portrait session run to contact Jennifer she is truly amazing! Thanks again I actually really love my photos! Thanks Twirl Photography!!

Coni was so open to my suggestions and entertained all of my ideas. In addition, she came with many ideas of her own and we ended up with so many favorites to choose from. My fiancé and I were definitely a little anxious and nervous because it was our first official shoot, but Coni made us feel so comfortable!! She remained very professional and we got back our photos very quickly. Don't wait another second if you're hesitant!

This experience was unbelievably amazing from beginning to end. I will go on and on now about…read morewhy;) I chose Sarah #1 for her beautiful artistry in photos but also #2 for her About section on her website. Taking the time to be so thoughtful to explain who she is, I felt a connection with her there. Coming in to town for the 20th anniversary of our first date from Texas, I wanted to get this SO right to document this feeling 20 years later. Mission VERY accomplished. From her quick initial response to my email inquiry, to collaborating on what I was looking for, to her fun, positive, vibrant energy when we met, laughing so much with her and making it so fun, to getting the photos back to us within a week, WHAT?! And on the technical side...her framing was artful and her use of natural light and landscape resulted in near effortless beauty. Sarah, we can't thank you enough for being a part of our journey in New Orleans and we wish you nothing but the continued light you put out in this world!

Sarah and I have been friends since college, and seeing her photography during the classes we…read moreshared and on Facebook back in 2008 let no question in my mind about who I wanted to shoot my wedding in 2013. Her style is clean and bright with attention to details and stories. Her business style has been professional, organized, and proactive. She contacted me with questions about how I wanted things to be done way ahead of time, and then when the big day came, she made sure things happened how I wanted them. I had an outdoor reception, and Sarah looked out for me and told me, "I know you wanted the cake cut after 7, but we should do it now while we still have good outdoor light." She caught great and beautiful moments, and I'm so glad to see her business growing. I think her work has gotten even better over the years, and I'm excited to see more. Also, Sarah was super thoughtful and took care in small details that made me feel like the most important bride during the wedding planning process and even after the big day. 5 stars!

Recently I have been toying with the notion of memorializing my sexy 34 year old body in some other…read moremedium than iPhone selfies. While researching the idea, I came upon deBoudoir Photography. One look at their website and I was sold. They have numerous photo galleries, clear pricing, and an informative FAQ. I made my appointment online, with no hassles an eagerly awaited my big day. On the day of my "shoot" I prepared all of sexy lingerie, dazzling jewelry, and other assorted props that I knew would showcase my personality. It was fun to channel my inner Kate Moss and feel like a supermodel on the way to a gig. When I arrived at the studio, I immediately knew that I was about to be treated to a high end experience. The studio is a beautiful New Orleans home that is not necessarily converted into a sterile photography workplace. It maintains the charm and romance. I was greeted by Latoya and Skye who allowed me a glass of champagne while I browsed the lingerie display. I knew ahead of time that I wanted to purchase a corset and I was cinched into the perfect one! Once I made my corset selection, I slipped into a robe for hair and make up. Latoya discussed several options of how to style my hair and what make up would suit me best. The girl was amazing. My concern, as a girl who wears little make up, was that I would look like a clown. That was definitely not the case. It was as it she knew me for years and she created a sultry, smoky look without being harsh. When she was done, I was given to Skye, my photographer. She was a sweetheart and provided great tunes to move to. She knew what positions to pose me in to complement my best features and suggested different shoes, panties and jewelry to get the most flattering shots. Skye has a dynamic rock star personality and she made me feel like I was Claudia Schiffer. There were two staging rooms; one was sweet and dainty with pink satin sheets, the other was dark and heavy with black satin and a black velvet chaise lounge. We spent about two and a half to three hours in four different looks. Then we did a mini-session of "fine art." By this point I was ready for anything, and I knew I needed to experience the nude shots. What a rush! I was sad when it was over, but terribly excited to see the outcome. I scheduled my consult (photo viewing) for about a week later. There were several issues, which were my fault, with the scheduling; but it all worked out perfect because they were willing to work with me and reschedule me twice. All it took was a phone call and everything was reset. When it finally came time to view the shots, I was floored. I consulted with Valerie, and thank God she was there. There were about 150 images to choose from! I was like a vain girl in a mirror store! After about an hour of deliberation, Valerie helped me narrow it down to 12 amazing photos. She was very patient with my indecisiveness and displayed the photos in a way to help me make the best choice. This was a fabulous place and I recommend every girl unleash that bit of Cindy Crawford that lives inside us all.
