While I photograph families throughout New Orleans, every session is deeply personal and tailored to reflect your rhythm. We might meet under the mossy oaks at Audubon Park, inside your cozy home, or wherever your family feels most at ease. My approach is relaxed, organic, and guided by emotion—less about posing, and more about presence.
If you're a New Orleans family looking for honest, tender photographs that feel like you—you're in the right place.
New Orleans Family Photographer
All things family, newborn, motherhood, and lifestyle photography in New Orleans.

When you inquire with Payne & Co. Photography, you're taking the first step toward a relaxed and heartfelt family photography experience. I specialize in capturing honest, emotive moments for families who value connection over perfection. From your first message to the final gallery delivery, I’m here to guide you with warmth, clarity, and care. As a New Orleans family photographer and former pediatric nurse, I bring a calm and thoughtful approach to every session.
If you’ve connected with my work it means you want more from your photos. A more creative, natural approach. You want photos that make you FEEL something. The kind that belongs in your family scrapbook.
I’ll guide you through everything, from planning to the small, in-between moments. So nothing feels uncertain.
