I moved to New Orleans last year for graduate school and have since started capturing graduation photos for students at Tulane University. From iconic spots like Gibson Hall and the famous Tulane sign to the Bead ‘Three’ Tree and Audubon Park, I use my photography skills to create the perfect photo package tailored to your vision.

I offer both individual and group graduation sessions, whether you’re celebrating solo, with friends, or as part of a group of graduates. I also specialize in professional LinkedIn headshots, helping you make the best possible first impression. I’m flexible and can travel up to 5 hours, depending on the day and time, to meet your needs. Based in Uptown New Orleans, I look forward to working with you to capture your milestone moments, wherever you choose.
