Why I Offer Proposal & Engagement Sessions

Heart First

I’ve always believed photographs do more than preserve a moment—they honor the beginnings, the in-betweens, and the beautifully ordinary days that shape a family.

For a long time, my work began somewhere in the middle of that story—a baby on the way, toddlers in tow, a family gathering close for a season they want to remember. But I also love being invited into the very beginning of that story: the moment someone asks, “Will you marry me?”

And it’s changed everything.

The Heart of a Proposal

A proposal is raw, tender, and beautifully unfiltered. There’s nothing overly posed or perfectly planned. It’s shaky hands, held breath, and the weight of a question that changes everything.

These moments matter—not just because they’re "Instagram-worthy," but because they mark the start of something sacred. They’re the very first page in the story of a family. And as a New Orleans proposal photographer, it’s a gift to be there as that story begins to take shape.

Why It Ties Into My Family Work

When I photograph a proposal or engagement, I’m already thinking about the legacy of it. I imagine these images shown to your future family—“This is where it all began.”

Just like in my family sessions, I’m drawn to the quiet in-between moments—the softness, the glances, the way your story unfolds without being forced. Proposal and engagement photography aren’t separate from what I do; they’re simply the first chapter in the same love-worn book.

What Makes My Approach Different

I approach proposals the same way I approach every session: with intention, warmth, and a deep desire to make sure your images feel like you.

No stiff poses. No forced moments. Just truth, emotion, and connection—exactly as it happens.

If you're planning to propose, I’ll help map out the timing and location. Then I step back. I want you to be fully present. And when you see your photos later, I want you to feel it all over again—the nerves, the joy, the yes.

Let’s Tell the Beginning of Your Story

Yes, I offer proposal and engagement photography in New Orleans. Not because it’s trendy, but because it’s true to the heart of my work.
