Reviews

Considering working with Lady? You probably should! But don’t just take my word for it. Read what past clients have to say about this New Orleans Surprise Engagement Proposal, Portrait, and Wedding Photographer.

“I worked with Lady on not just proposal photos, but she helped me plan an amazing surprise experience that neither my fiancee or I will ever forget!

My fiancee is a former New Orleans resident and we regularly visit the area as it is one of our favorite places on Earth, so naturally NOLA was the place where I was going to propose. SInce I live in FL and I wanted to give my then-GF the experience she deserved I looked for assistance and I could not have asked for a better partner than Lady.

I met with Lady and she asked me about my fiancée on what her likes are and what I thought would make up the perfect proposal for her and then we discussed some of the ideas on where I may want to propose and she, as a local, gave me her feedback on each spot and offered up a few of her favorites as well. We settled on the perfect spot and then went right into action on developing the perfect plan!

After a brainstorming session between the two of us we put together a plan on where, when and how. A few days later, lady provided a detailed plan recapping everything we discussed which even included pictures of the site, a map of where to walk and even helpful hints on how to hide the ring and what to wear and stand for the best pictures possible.

Even with some unforeseen issues (weather and a pop-up wedding on the same site we chose) Lady was there to think on her feet and was able to slightly adjust our original plan to keep everything perfect. Everything went off flawlessly and my fiancée was completely surprised and totally loved it! A few days later we received the engagement photos and my fiancée and I have been looking at them each day ever since!!

Working with Lady on one of the most important projects in my life was simply amazing. She took many occasions to speak with me to ensure everything was going to be perfect; she took the time to speak with me about my fiancée and about me to get a feel for us as people and as a couple to make sure she was giving us a once in a lifetime experience that we'll cherish forever. She was able to take this task that seemed impossible for me to execute from hundreds of miles away to a seamless experience that was enjoyable throughout the process.” Matt S, Surprise Engagement Proposal

“My proposal to my high school sweetheart would not have been possible if it weren’t for Lady. From planning to execution I felt like I was in excellent hands the entire time! Thank you so much for helping me pull off an awesome proposal and hopefully we can work again soon on the wedding!!! Keep up the great work of helping people, especially those in the LGBTQ+ community, make their dreams come true!” -Coronda L, Surprise Proposal

“Lady is a life saver and brilliant at what she does.

I chose Lady to help me plan my proposal, and I’m so glad I had her to help every step of the way. All I knew is that I wanted to propose to my girlfriend on our vacation to New Orleans. I didn’t know when, where, how, etc. I was clueless, and this is where Lady comes in!

From the first conversation we had to the planning, setting up, and actual moment, I was so relieved in knowing that I had Lady there to make sure everything went the way it was supposed to. Having Lady allowed me and my fiancée to just enjoy the moment. I didn’t have to worry about anything! I just had to be at our spot, at the right time.

Lady is so gifted at what she does. Every photo she took of our engagement is beautiful and real. We love every one of them. The scene, setting, and photos are perfect. They feel so REAL. Because they are real and Lady’s photos capture that in such a special, unique way that puts you right into that moment.

The thing that makes Lady so special is that she puts her heart into what she does. She absolutely loves her job. I mean loves her job so much! And as a client, you feel that, and you just know like “yes! This is going to be perfect!”

Lady will give you excellent photos, peace of mind, and she will ultimately be your friend throughout the entire process. Whether it be engagement, wedding, or photoshoot, Lady will be there giving 110% and putting her full heart into it.

Lady is an amazing person and will create an everlasting, beautiful moment for you to hold onto.

I could not recommend her enough!”- Alexander K, Surprise Proposal

“It was a pleasure to work with Lady! She made one of the most important memories that my now fiancé and I will together unforgettable. She was able to make my vision come to life!! We will always appreciate you!” - Rachelle Y, Surprise Proposal

“My boyfriend found lady and booked her to take our surprise engagement photos and I am SO glad he did. After he proposed we did an engagement shoot around the French quarter. As a newly engaged couple I’m so happy to have these beautiful photo memories as well as not having to go get these done gives us time to really enjoy being engaged. Lady’s photos are beyond anything I could have dreamed of and she was so fun and professional to work with. I can not recommend her enough! If you’re a guy looking to surprise your gf and take your relationship to the next level BOOK HER you’re fiancé will be so grateful.” -Jenna W, Surprise Proposal

“Lady is an incredible, empathetic photographer who made my engagement a wonderful experience. Lady was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, from the planning of locations, timing, to ensuring I didn't have to worry about anything on the day of the proposal. In addition to the experience itself, Lady is a wonderful photographer. The pictures came out beautifully and both me and my fiancé were extremely pleased with them. I would highly recommend Lady to capture your most intimate moments whether you are a NOLA local or from out of town.” -Rabees R, Surprise Proposal Photography

“Lady creates magic both with her photography and the whole experience of a surprise proposal.

Even though rain was called for, she connected with me, adapted, and she setup a really unique and special proposal.

She really sets you up for success - mapping out location, flowers, how it will happen, what creates a real surprise, and more.

I’m so thankful for lady’s help and my wife loved every moment of it.

Just from the pictures, video, and story - everyone is still talking about it to this day and my wife LOVES telling everyone.” -James W, Surprise Engagement Proposal

“Lady did an excellent job with my surprise proposal. Even with being from out of town, Lady made it easy to navigate the process and was able to review locations with me via video call. The pictures came out amazing and I was successful in surprising my now fiancé, with Lady's help. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!” - Rachel R, Surprise Proposal

“Lady was phenomenal! From start to finish, she went the extra mile to make sure that my surprise proposal was unique and memorable. Lady is extremely resourceful and knowledgeable about New Orleans. She made solid recommendations on locations and vendors. Being from out of town, I never felt uneasy only coming into town the day before the proposal. Lady handled each detail and was responsive throughout. The information packet she sent out covered so many nuances. It is evident that she knows her stuff! On top of that, she's friendly and personable and I felt like she was a collaborator and not just someone I hired. And the photos! Oh my goodness!!! My fiancée and I cried from happiness when we first viewed them. They will forever be a special reminder of a very memorable occasion, thanks to Lady!”- Jamilah D, Surprise Proposal

“Where do I start? I was searching high and low for the perfect photographer for a while and upon that search I found Lady. I couldn’t be more happy with not only the process but with her as a person. Not only she is a brilliant photographer but she is one of the most amazing people I will ever have the honor to work with. I didn’t feel like i was being rushed to make a decision on my proposal idea, she helped me with literally everything, and even worked with me on location ideas since I was not there to scout out locations. I truly am soooo grateful for lady and would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion. Lady not only cares deeply about her work but truly cares about the clients she works with. I thank you, Lady, from the bottom of my heart 🙏🏽” -Bobby R, Surprise Proposal

“Lady was a huge help for planning the surprise proposal! My fiancée and I don't live in New Orleans, so I really leaned on Lady's expertise-she found me an adorable library and planted some gorgeous props so that I'd know where to stop and propose. I'm amazed by her patience with me considering I reached out to her like 8 months in advance, and she made this into such a beautiful special day. Bailey was completely surprised and didn't even notice the photographer until I pointed her out-which made for some hilarious pictures!”- Nicole S, Surprise Proposal

“We LOVED working with Lady for our small New Orleans wedding. She is a phenomenal photographer and takes gorgeous, unique, in-the-moment photos. She's also super physical in her work and is willing to go the extra mile to get that awesome shot! Plus, Lady is just a fun, friendly, and genuine person. She is easy to be around and helps everyone feel relaxed and at ease (which is especially nice for people like us who aren't used to having our photos taken) Cannot recommend Lady enough! She's awesome!” -Hawley K, New Orleans Small Wedding Photography

“Lady was FANTASTIC as our engagement and wedding photographer. She put us at ease and encouraged us to have fun from the first conversation. When our wedding plans changed, Lady was willing to work with us on adjusting our package and expectations. We love our photos. We're so glad we found her!”-Michelle C, New Orleans Elopement Photography

“I was apprehensive about photographing our proposal initially. Then a friend introduced me to Lady- and she transformed my opinions completely. She was Incredibly thorough, walked the spot in advance, helped me with being in the perfect spot, and when the day came she did an amazing job-- my partner had no idea she was even there until I pointed her out. The pictures are amazing, SHE is amazing, and if you want to capture your special moment- Lady is the only photographer you need to talk to!!” -William S, Surprise Proposal

“One of the best photographers in NOLA, hands down!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Lady on a “Death to my youth” photoshoot for my wife. She went above and beyond to make our photoshoot memorable, fun, and even went so far as to set up an entire scene in the park with props and lighting. She was very professional, friendly, and gave us great guidance on how to pose and express ourselves. The photos came out stunning, capturing the mood and theme of the shoot perfectly. We are so pleased with the results and would highly recommend Lady to anyone looking for a creative and talented photographer. Thank you, Lady, for a wonderful experience!”-Evan R, Death to my Youth Portraits

“Lady was AWESOME. From the moment I reached out, she was very responsive and engaging every step of the way. She presents herself as someone who wants this moment to be nothing but special and does whatever she can to make that happen. She provided everything I needed from an initial phone call, planning session, and entire plan built out for my proposal. The day of the proposal she is very engaging and makes sure that everything is going to plan. On top of all that, her photos were perfect. She did a great job at capturing the moment and we even enjoyed some time with her after for some additional photos. All in all, it was a great experience and I am so glad I made the decision to use her. Thank you, Lady!” -Jakob B, Surprise Proposal

“PURE MAGIC! I've contacted Lady Walker back in October 2021 to see if she could help me organise and photograph a surprise engagement in New Orleans. I live in London so I thought it would be a challenge but Lady was so professional in helping me to put it all together. It became a stress-free experience and I felt really guided throughout the process. Bare in mind I've never been to New Orleans! She explained everything in great detail, was very responsive to every question and request and even offered alternative locations for the day in case the weather didn't permit our first choice. The photos she captured are pure magic! They are so genuine and organic, yet perfectly framed and lit. All of it was a total surprise to my now fiancee. I can't recommend Lady Walker highly enough! If you need a proposal or wedding photography, Lady Walker is your go-to expert!” -Radek S, Surprise Proposal

“Lady made planning a surprise proposal very easy and enjoyable. She is very easy to talk to and has a lot of great ideas and to top it off she is very knowledgeable of the area. Included with the photography is a pre-planning session via Zoom where Lady is very patient and thorough with her explanation of the best places to propose based on the individual couples personalities. You will also receive tips and step by step instructions for the best proposal possible which is very helpful in taking most of the nervousness away. The best part of all is how you can really tell how much she loves what she does and wants to do her best for you. I highly recommend Lady for any of your photography needs in New Orleans.” - Kevin S, Surprise Proposal

“Lady is amazing! She helped my fiancé plan our proposal, and helped him every step of the way! She made it so special and stress free. She even closed off part of a street! She’s got the connections and a knack for making you feel special. Thank you, Lady!!!” - Landon P, Surprise Proposal

“HIGHLY recommend. She made the whole process super easy. We talked over a zoom meeting planned everything out and was just a great and an amazing helper and person overall.” - Jacob M, Surprise Proposal

“Cannot express how much I appreciate the effort from Lady! Extremely short notice for her and my first trip to New Orleans during the thick of Jazzfest. Set the perfect scene and helped me with all the details. Went above and beyond to make sure our special moment was captured in perfect detail! Thanks isn’t enough, will always treasure the photos and video!” - Brent M, Surprise Proposal

“After working with Lady, I would have to say she has set the bar rather high. Not only is she incredibly personable, she's patient, and eager to be your hype-gal!! She helped me plan this photo session, months in advance, and from another state. Lady added that extra magic we needed to make these photos happen. I already love my husband, and she captured that and helped write more of our story.

We walked away from our session more in love, and over the moon with the experience. Thank you, Lady!!!” - Janine G, Couples’ Portrait Session

“I spoke with Lady and had only ONE full day to give her to plan a surprise proposal for me… she took that day and ran it in for a touchdown!!! I got the “YES!” And my fiancée got the proposal of her dreams!!! She plans everything to the max(also has a plan b for rainouts), goes above and beyond for you, and she takes amazing photos. I can promise you one thing, you will never regret booking with Lady! I wish I could give this 10 stars!!” George T, Surprise Proposal

“Lady is amazing!!! We initially hired her for our engagement photos and after we received our photos we knew we had to book her for our wedding. She is so easy to work with and really cares about her craft and knows just how to angle you so that you always look your best. She also did a great job advocating for us to make sure we got exactly the photos we wanted in a timely manner and I can't imagine having anyone else there to document our special day. Lastly, she is well organized and on top of her admin work and was always quick to answer any questions that we had throughout the process . I highly HIGHLY recommend booking her for any of your wedding photography needs!” -April S, Wedding

“Lady is the best! My surprise proposal was completely stress-free and was planned/coordinated flawlessly. She made our special moment the best it possibly could be and captured it to perfection!” - Jacob M, Surprise Proposal

“Lady was a fantastic, skilled, easy-going yet professional choice for our wedding photos.
She had us at “weirdos” as we were definitely not the conventional bride and groom, and it was a perfect collaboration. Every aspect of Lady’s approach and ethic from the original interview to sending the edited photos made it clear we were working not only with a professional, but someone who approaches her métier with deep love for the craft and her subjects.
I absolutely recommend her services to anyone!” -Matt L, Elopement

“Lady shot our elopement and we couldn't love our photos more. She was communicative and helpful (especially as a NOLA local since we were coming from out of town). My husband and I don't love posing for pictures in general, but Lady made us feel at ease and it felt much more comfortable than we anticipated. She had an amazing balance of capturing candid moments without posing or directing us too much (she got lots of pretty shots without correcting us or making us feel awkward - something I worried about with having photos taken), and getting some very sweet, posed photos too. I highly recommend booking her for any wedding, engagement, elopement, or proposal shoot. Probably any other type of shoot, too. Lady is a delight!” - Katie S, Elopement

“We are from out of state and Lady went above and beyond to help us create our perfect elopement! She even went as far as helping us pick a location and setting us up with an Officiant and basically anything we needed. She took so much stress off of me. It was amazing! We love all of our photos!!” - Kelly P, Elopement

“Lady does professional work and is wonderful to work with. She is easy going, fun, and great at creating a plan which brings relief to a nerve-racking proposal. Her photography is also stunning to say the least. Book her to make a special time in your life much more memorable!” - Benji G, Surprise Proposal

“Lady photographed our surprise engagement and it was an absolute dream! She communicated with my finace for months beforehand to plan every thing. The pictures were amazing quality and quickly edited/returned! 10/10 recommend”-Kelsi H, Surprise Proposal

“If you’re wondering on whether or not to book Lady, here’s your sign JUST DO IT! She worked with my fiancé for months for our destination surprise proposal in NOLA with a my crazy group of 20+ friends and family in tow! To say it was chaotic would be an understatement. I was completely clueless and surprised and that is largely because Lady is a Grade A bonafide rockstar! She also did an engagement shoot with us the very next day. She prepared us for how hot it would be in Louisiana in August and used her editing skills (honestly it might be witchcraft, she’s that good) to make us look FLAWLESS. And THEN she got us our finished products in record time after a literal hurricane (Ida) hit New Orleans!!! I don’t know what else to say other than that if you work with her, you won’t regret it! Thank you again for everything Lady!!! Weirdos for Life!!!”-Ashley H, Surprise Proposal

“Lady was so amazing, right from the start! She is a great communicator, super professional, and the results exceeded our expectations. Even before we had met in person (we're in Canada and drove down for our wedding!), we knew we had made the right choice. Lady was personable, accommodating, and really made us feel comfortable. I would recommend her to anyone, truly; she is a real gem.” -Vero N, Elopement

“Lady is hands down the best in the game. She was extremely helpful, responsive and a pleasure to work with. She helped me plan out my surprise engagement and even found an amazing guitarist to help bring my vision together! Our pictures look incredible and thanks to her my fiance still can't believe I pulled it off! I really hope she is available in a couple years when we plan to come back to NOLA for our wedding because I honestly cannot see us wanting to work with any other photographer ever! Seriously people if you're in the market for a photographer please book with Lady, you will not be disappointed!” -Stephanie E, Surprise Proposal

“I worked with Lady to plan and photograph my New Orleans proposal as an out-of-towner. We dealt with delays to our trip due to Hurricane Ida, but Lady was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the whole process. She was very thorough in our Zoom planning meeting and showed me a number of different potential locations and the pros/cons/details of each. And the resulting photos were fantastic, of course. It was so relieving and helpful to have someone like Lady who does everything she can to take as much stress and uncertainty out of this important day. I would 100% recommend her services to anyone planning a New Orleans proposal (or any other photography needs).”-Edward K, Surprise Proposal

“I worked with Lady to plan a surprise proposal. She took the time to help me find the perfect location (and backup location in case the weather didn't pan out), book a musician, and had everything ready the day of the proposal so I didn't have to worry about anything other than getting my partner to the right spot! She kept in contact throughout the planning phase and really took the time to learn about us and our relationship. She made us very comfortable and did such an awesome job blending in that my partner had no idea what was happening until just the right moment! Having Lady's guidance and expertise made the proposal even better than I imagined and the process was smooth and easy, even planning from states away! Oh, and of course the pictures were amazing!! Everyone I share the photos with is very complimentary of Lady's work. Thank you again, Lady, for making our day extra special!” -Jake N, Surprise Proposal

“Look no further for your photographer! Lady is definitely the one! From the initial contact email to the *final thank you for our printed wedding album communication was on point, clear, and prompt (and filled with humor). Lady also arranged (last minute) someone to ordain our wedding when some paperwork fell through with ours. Such a great person with positive energy to work with, a weight was definitely taken off of my planning shoulders once Lady was booked. Looking back at all of the photos, they definitely tell the story of our wedding day. It was perfect! *it won’t be the last time we book with Lady! Can you say destination anniversary trip to NOLA??” -Madeline N, Small Wedding

“Lady photographed our surprise proposal, and it went perfectly! She was was completely professional and very accommodating to our needs. The photos are beautiful, and we are really happy with entire experience. If you are looking for a photographer in New Orleans, we can't recommend Lady highly enough.” - Geoffrey B, Surprise Proposal

“Lady did an amazing job from beginning to end on helping me plan my surprise proposal. She answered all my questions and had lots of knowledge and experience regarding the city, which made the process worry and hassle free. I highly recommend her for any of your photography needs!” -Nick H, Surprise Proposal

“Lady was an amazing person in general! She made taking pictures fun and made sure we were looking good! Absolutely grateful for her and the pictures for the memory! If I didn’t live far away I would want her to do my wedding! Such a bubbly personality!” - Emily L, Surprise Proposal

“Despite the glaring light of late afternoon sun (and on a rooftop no less) Lady managed to capture every priceless moment of this ceremony. I didn’t even notice her taking photos, but she nailed it. As a wedding officiant I have had many photographs taken at ceremonies, and hers are by far some of the best. Professional, discreet, and timely. I’d give ten stars if I could.” -Isabelle G, Officiant

“What can I say? I called a week in advance to see if there was a way I could make my engagement more special and there just happened to be availability. I got some incredibly special photos out of it and was able to coordinate and plan to where I knew it would go well. My fiancé is really happy with the photos and I feel the same. Highly, highly recommended.” -Harrison K, Surprise Proposal

“I'm so glad I reached out to Lady for help with my surprise proposal in New Orleans! She was great to work with and helped plan everything. She showed me different proposal locations, had a backup plan for weather, and discussed with me how to set up the perfect photo. The surprise on my fiance's face is something I'll never forget! We love all of our photos and will remember this day forever. Thanks again Lady!” - Scott A, Surprise Proposal

“We had an amazing experience with Lady. She beautifully captured our proposal and did an hour-or-so engagement session immediately after the proposal. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to capture a proposal or for an engagement session. Lady helped my beau with planning the proposal and finding the perfect location to pop the question in City Park. When I got out of the car at City Park (after my now-fiance led me on a scavenger hunt around the city *tear*), Lady helped my fiance hide while I followed a trail of roses to the spot where he ultimately proposed. She was so casual and cool and inconspicuous that I never noticed her fake-taking pictures of the beautiful scenery in the park as I walked right by her. She picked the perfect spot for the proposal. The lighting was amazing! In addition, she beautifully captured the proposal and we got to share the photos with our families, who said that they felt like they were there for the whole thing. The photo session with her afterwards was an absolute blast. She and her hilarious assistant kept us laughing, which made the shoot really natural, rather than forced and posed. The result was absolutely beautiful photography that had a very authentic and candid feel, rather than something overly pinterest-y. Even though we were not all dressed up for the proposal, the photography was so beautiful and authentic that we decided to use Lady's pictures as our engagement photos and for Save-the-Dates! In addition, we had our edited high resolution images within days of the proposal. The turn-around time was lightning fast, which was awesome. Finally (and this may be the best part), Lady wrote a beautiful blog post about the proposal and shared it on social media so that our family and friends could see the proposal. It made us feel super special. If you're on the fence, go Lady. You won't regret it!” -Maryann, Surprise Proposal

“Lady took all of the worry out of this experience by doing all the leg work and explaining all of the things that you never think about until they go wrong and you wish you would have done things differently. The easiest, and most successful Proposal than even I could have imagined. Quality and value for the money spent was more than worth it. The surprise effect is evident by the picture, priceless. Can't wait to see what she has in mind for the Wedding Photos…” -Jeff Y, Surprise Proposal

“Lady was excellent all around with our surprise proposal. Easy to work with, quick on her feet (her quick thinking helped save our proposal from conflicting with a kids birthday party) and the pictures came out great. Highly recommended!”-Don W, Surprise Proposal

“We went to the completely wrong address(out of towners) and she was so patient with us while we ubered to the correct place. She was wonderful and fun to work with, and we are so happy! Definitely would love to have another shoot with us on time. ☺️”- Aly H, Couples Portraits

“I found Lady via Instagram and instantly loved her work. We wanted to have engagement pictures taken in New Orleans because we were not sure where our wedding would take place. We got engaged in City Park so it seemed like the obvious choice for us. My fiance has some back problems so I wanted to have a little longer session and Lady was very understanding. Between his nerves and physical discomfort she worked really hard at keeping him as relaxed as possible and it really shows in our pictures. We had been engaged for about 5 months at that point and it's really wonderful to have the pictures from our session to remember that time. Right after our session she went out of the country to shoot a destination wedding, but she assured us she would be doing the editing for our shoot as soon as she got home. Not only did she send me a couple of sneak peaks but our pictures were edited and ready a little earlier then expected. We wouldn't hesitate to book Lady again in the future, and hope to do just that. Her pictures speak for themselves and we have recieved so many comments about them. Thrilled customers!!” -Tanya N, Engagement Portraits

“I recently proposed to my girlfriend in New Orleans, and as I had never been there before was struggling with some of the finer details and logistics of how/where to do the proposal, and of course trying to figure out how to get pictures of the moment. I was referred to Lady, and I can't recommend her enough for photos and help with planning after working with her. After I first reached out asking to speak to her, Lady responded back almost immediately and set a call with me. I hadn't even formally hired her yet, and she spent almost an hour on the phone with me talking details and how everything would work. Lady was instrumental in helping me pick the exact spot of the proposal, and even went to the spot a week before to take pics to make sure I liked it. The proposal itself involved a carriage ride and a second line band and Lady was able to coordinate with both to make sure the proposal went off without a hitch. Needless to say the pictures also turned out amazing. If anyone in NOLA needs a photographer or a helpful coordinator don't think twice, call Lady!!”-Jason R, Surprise Proposal

“Lady helped my fiance pull off the perfect surprise proposal in New Orleans. She took amazing candids and went above and beyond to help my LA based fiancé find the perfect spot to pop the big question. She even went in person to make sure the lighting in the spot he chose was good for photos. She is truly a lovely person and you can tell she loves working with her clients to make every moment special.” -Carrie S, Surprise Proposal

“I did a surprise engagement set as a friends group photo session. Lady was very accommodating and helpful through the whole process. She recommended places to do the proposals, had contingency plans for rain and was fun to be around. She made our engagement amazing and we loved every minute of it. Thank you, Lady!” - Josh H, Surprise Proposal

“I was planning to propose to my girlfriend in New Orleans and was from out of town. I wanted a photographer that was familiar with the area and could give me great ideas on a proper location. So, I contacted Lady via her website and she helped me with the whole process from start to finish.
She is more than helpful and has a great knowledge of the New Orleans area. Lady is responsive, knowledgeable and professional. I 100% recommend her services. She is one of the main reasons why my engagement went perfect.” - Austin B, Surprise Proposal

“This was my first time doing anything like this and she made my job so easy!!!! I was taking my Girlfriend to New Orleans in late May to propose. The day before we fly to New Orleans I completely forgot to figure out how to get someone to take at least one picture of the moment. I went everywhere on google and I came across Lady. Portrait and Wedding. I sent my information in and was hoping for the best. My thoughts were “no one will take this because its literally the last second, short notice, and knew nothing about New Orleans”. Within an hour Lady emails me and she got to work. Zoomed called later that day, she had a couple of ideas to help with my Vision and I used every idea she had. The day came and the wind was just howling, it was suppose to rain, and was just a bad start to the day but she texted me with back up plans and was very quick to get back to me if I had a question or a concern about the weather. But thankfully the weather cleared and it ended up being one of the best moments of my life, I was and still am more than thrilled I found you! That moment will be with my now fiancé and I forever, Thank you Lady for everything!!! By the way I got way more than just one picture. I got so many different views, looks, and emotions through my proposal it was shocking how Lady did that. It was incredible!!!!

P.S. if I still have to say it after all of that, Get Lady as your photographer ASAP!!” - Tyler K, Surprise Proposal

“We had a great experience with Lady as our wedding photographer. She had a great eye for staging and gave us a fantastic set of photos to remember our special event by. We'd recommend her with no reservations!” -Tomas, Elopement

“Lady is absolutely amazing! She is hilarious and knows exactly how to capture the best moments (planned and unplanned) of your special day. All of our friends and family commented on how lovely she was to work with. Grateful for your artistic vision and funny songs!” -Keia W, Small Wedding

“Lady was great to work with. She was very flexible and communicative. The day of the proposal she had to think on her feet and make some last minute changes to make sure we had the best photos we could. Overall Lady was lovely to work with.” -Amber C, Surprise Proposal

“Lady was a joy to work with. She took the reins on my special day, coordinating my bridesmaids and guests with both ease and gusto. Her prices are reasonable, and she truly takes her time during shoots to make sure they are accurately completed. I highly recommend Lady for your wedding or event photographer. She is extremely reliable and trustworthy.” -Diana, Wedding and Engagement

“Lady is so amazing! Not only did she take Gorgeous pictures of my special day she even helped me plan my elopement! She put me in touch with a makeup artist and officiant to help me pull off exactly what I wanted. When it comes to the photos she managed to capture pictures of my husband (who hates taking pictures) and myself that truly represent our personalities. She will not let you down!”-Mary H, Elopement

“She’s the best! Professional, responsive, courteous, and hands down the best photographer in NOLA! She made our day extra special and went above and beyond to capture our special moment.” -Derek R, Surprise Proposal

“I contacted Lady about doing a surprise engagement photoshoot after having contacted multiple other photographers. The other photographers I had talked to were either unwilling to do any extra planning to help me catch my fiance by surprise, or didn't have any experience with surprise proposals and were expecting both parties to be aware of the photoshoot. Lady however, was more than willing to help me plan out the surprise proposal. She really went the extra mile to make sure that everything was planned out, and that I was comfortable with the plan beforehand. I was a little hesitant at first to pay the extra money for the planning, as I already had a pretty good idea of what I wanted, but Lady made it well worth the extra cost. She added a lot of great ideas to my original plan, which was a surprise picnic in city park where I was recreating one of our first picnic dates. As part of the planning we had an hour zoom call beforehand to discuss the plan, she met me at a grocery store to pick up the supplies to setup the picnic, she setup the picnic so it was there waiting when we walked up, and she had found someone to watch the picnic while we went to other parts of the park for the rest of the photoshoot. Lady is really great at thinking of the little details you may miss, and was really a great added value to have her helping plan my proposal out. She had everything figured out and taken care of. She was also very responsive and professional throughout all of her interactions. The photos all came out amazingly. She really knows how to position and pose you so that you end up with really remarkable photos. Another thing that I liked about Lady was that all of the photos taken during the photoshoot were included in the price and edited. Other photographers I had looked into only edited some of the photos, or made you pay extra for all of the photos. I feel like my money was very well spent with choosing Lady. Even if you weren't doing a surprise proposal I would recommend her, but that does really seem to be her niche.” - Gage H, Surprise Proposal

“I hired Lady to take some photos and videos of my band while we were recording. She was punctual, professional, and produced great images that I'll be using for promotion. Recording is a stressful process, but she put us at ease and got everyone to smile and laugh. I would definitely work with her again, in this context or any other.” -Luke H, Band Photography

“Lady was able to coordinate our family Christmas photo shoot wonderfully. She pulled out expressions from each person, letting their personality show through!”- Jennifer H, Family Photography

“Lady was great to work with! She was very easy to communicate with and had patience even for a little rain. The pictures turned out wonderful and I could not be more happy with them!” - Will M, Surprise Proposal

“Lady knew exactly what I was going for with our family portraits and I can't recommend her enough, especially if you are looking for something 💫 different 💫 Love love love how our pictures turned out!”-Krystalynn D, Family Photography

“Our daughter planned a destination wedding and lucky for us we found Lady!! She came to the rescue the day of the wedding after the original photographer was double booked! She was not only professional, but lots of fun and the photographs are outstanding. While cell phones can take pictures, nothing replaces professional photography. I would highly recommend her for any event!!”

- Carol F, Elopement

“My husband (it just doesn’t feel real yet!) and I decided to elope to New Orleans quite recently. Deciding to do that was the easy part; finding someone to capture it was something else. Luckily, I had the perfect google search, because I found Lady!

From our phone consultation, I knew I had found the perfect photographer for our little day. Immediately, I knew that she “got” us and understood what we were going for. And it didn’t stop there- because naturally we wanted to get married in peak hurricane season, in the midst of a global pandemic. And through all of that, Lady was there to offer suggestions, insider tips, and encouragement!!

And all of that before our wedding to boot! When it came time, she made me feel at ease, and like the exact opposite of a swamp-queen-turned-potato. Maybe it was the giddiness of getting married, but throughout our session, I couldn’t help but just laugh and revel in the gorgeous local scenery. Getting the pictures was just wow. W. O. W. They are (if I could only use one word) stunning. Her editing technique isn’t overly processed. It’s real. It’s honest. It’s glowy and natural. The pictures are all just dreamy! And when you get your own photos back, you’ll see exactly what I mean.

I’d use Lady again in a heartbeat. I’d fly her out to Ohio for our next big event without hesitation. And I’d recommend her to anyone needing their special day captured!!” -Rachel F, Elopement

“Lady did a wonderful job of capturing our wedding day and engagement photos! We were referred by a friend who saw her work on the ‘gram and once we saw her photos and met with her it was possibly the easiest of our wedding decisions. We never considered having engagement photos but I’m so happy we did! It gave us a chance to get to know Lady (and her us) and to practice having our photos taken. I strongly advise this, not only to get comfortable being photographed but because now we have a whole other set of beautiful photos to cherish forever. Lady did everything right on our wedding day. She posed us when necessary and then did her photography ninja thing to get some amazing shots! She uses natural light to create beautiful images with no filters ever. We were grateful to have her calm and cool presence on our special day and wouldn’t change a thing. Oh you say you want your photos fast? How about TWO WEEKS?! I couldn’t believe it. I would have been overjoyed with twice or even three times as many weeks. It’s important to Lady to get you your images ASAP and she takes great pride in that” -Katie R, Wedding and Engagement

“When considering a photographer for your wedding you can choose someone who takes pictures or someone who can tell a story with photographs. Personally I’d rather have a storyteller. That’s what you’ll get when you hire Lady to shoot your wedding. She’s a passionate photographer who wants to tell the story of your special day. She is easy to work with and has a great eye. **Extra tip...if she comes up to you during the party to drag you away from your guests for a portrait photo she thought of I suggest you go. The day will go by fast but you’ll be happy you had those special moments captured after.” - Ross W, Wedding

“Lady was the first photographer I have personally had to book and she was amazing. Her website was easy to navigate and send in a request. She was responsive when I messaged her and reaching out when things needed to be discussed. Meeting her for the photo session and walking with her and her assistant was such an enjoyable time. They were both very fun to talk to and made the experience relaxing and memorable. The photos were everything we wanted our engagement pictures to be and we got them within the time frame Lady set, with a couple of pictures sent early for us to use on social media. I can't say enough good things about her. I know my fiancee and I hope to see her again for our wedding pictures.” -Alex B, Engagement

“This was my wife and I's first professional photos. Lady made it easy for us to just be ourselves and she took some of the best photos of us. I love all of the photos and I have a hard time picking a favorite. I highly recommend her and would have another session with her.” -Nicholas B, Couples Portraits

“My fiance worked with Lady to coordinate our engagement in New Orleans and everything went off without a hitch! We are from out of town and she was so helpful to him. I had no idea, but when I did get to meet her she was lovely and her photos captured the moment perfectly.” -Bianca B, Surprise Proposal

“My fiance and I decided to elope to New Orleans. It was going to be an intimate wedding, of just the two of us, on Halloween. My fiance and I both love photography. We didn't want the tradition wedding photographer and the typical wedding poses. We wanted to find a photographer who could show off the beauty of us as bride and groom, set in the romantic French Quarter. These photos were going to be a living memory of us, on our special day. The backdrop of New Orleans was key to all of the photos as well. It was a destination and we wanted to show that destination off.

From the get go, we were doing everything outside the box. We were eloping, on Halloween, no white wedding dress, no wedding party. We didn't want a photographer to come in with a preconceived idea of what our wedding day should be. We wanted someone to be, "wow that is so cool and I Want to be a part of that" We knew right away that Lady was our photographer, when that was her first response to our inquiry.

Lady met our ideas with excitement and enthusiasm. Upon arrival she went to work, scouting, and lining up all the locations in her head. She found the perfect spot for the "first look" She met with us individually and put our nerves to rest. She choreographed everything so seamlessly. She was just there, to capture us in the beautiful backdrop of New Orleans, on our wedding day. She moved us along, letting her creativity flow, while letting us be us.

All of the photos turned out fantastic. You can see our love for one another. They are all natural and beautiful. The French Quarter is an amazing backdrop.

We feel so lucky have found Lady. She captured so many wonderful memories for us. Memories of our wedding. Memories of New Orleans. Memories that will live on forever.” -Nina F, Elopement

“I had to take the time to not only review, but praise Lady and everything she did for us. Not only being professional, taking amazing photos or being so prompt, but actually taking the time to get to know us. Lady gave us an experience we could never forget. She made us comfortable with the entire process for my husband and myself. I couldn't recommend anyone better who really understands her clients.”-Nick, Wedding

“Lady did both our engagement and wedding photos. I was thrilled with how they both turned out! She did an excellent job capturing our personalities. I cared less about the posed photos and wanted more action shots from the night, she did a wonderful job listening to that request and I'm so happy with the results.” - Katelyn H, Wedding

“Lady is the best wedding photographer we ever could have hoped for! She was professional, personable, and prompt in her communication (including getting our photos back to us!). We could not recommend her more highly!” - Jessica T, Wedding

“If I could give a higher rating than 5, I would. Lady is the best. Having my photographer cancel on my destination wedding 2 weeks out, she was a real life saver. She has a eye for detail and knows how to capture the best shots. My planner had also wanted the ceremony to start an hour early which would have led to extremely blown out pictures but Lady recommended we wait, I'm so glad we did! The pictures are pure perfection and I will treasure them for the rest of my life.” -Amber N, Wedding
