Don’t Forget to Take the Photos | New Orleans Family & Couples Photographer
We always think we’ll remember.
The way your toddler reaches for your hand in the morning.
The slow weekend breakfast as a couple, the quiet in-between moments when the world feels still.
The way your home feels at this stage of life—messy, maybe, but full of love.
But memory is slippery.
And life moves fast, especially in seasons when everything feels busy or uncertain or new.
As a New Orleans photographer who works with both couples and families, I’ve learned that some of the most meaningful photographs aren’t about big milestones—they’re about presence. They’re about the in-betweens: the glances, the gestures, the small routines that quietly shape your story.
And so this is your reminder:
Don’t forget to take the photos.
Even when it’s not perfect.
Even when you don’t think you’ll forget.
The Photos That Matter Most Aren’t Always the Ones You Plan
You don’t need a reason to take the photo.
You don’t have to wait for a birthday or anniversary or the “right” season. You don’t need a matching outfit or a spotless living room. Whether you're in the middle of raising young kids or just starting your life together as a couple—right now is the story.
Sometimes, the most cherished images are the ones that felt ordinary in the moment:
These are the photos that become anchors later—visual proof of how much love lived in the small moments.
For Families & Couples in New Orleans and Beyond
Whether you’re a new parent, a growing family, or a couple deep in your own rhythm of life, these moments are worth remembering.
As a New Orleans-based family and couples photographer, I create photos with heart. My sessions are about ease, connection, and real life. The kind of photos that feel like you.
I photograph in-home sessions across New Orleans, Metairie, and the Northshore, as well as outdoor sessions in places like City Park, the Bywater, and quiet corners of the French Quarter. And no matter the setting, my goal is the same: to help you feel seen and to create images that honor your story.
A Gentle Nudge: Take the Photo Anyway
Take the photo—even if:
The laundry’s still piled in the corner
Your hair isn’t done
The kids are wild and no one is looking at the camera
Take it with your phone. Set a timer. Or book a session that feels effortless and true to you.
These moments won’t wait. But you can hold onto them.
