    We worked with Shannon on August 3 for a small wedding. This was not our first (we are also in our…read more50's)\, and it was important for us to capture family moments. We live over 3 hours away and I was a little nervous as I didn't know anyone personally who used Shannon for their photographer. First - Shannon IS a professional. She clearly communicated to us to ensure we were happy with the final product. I do not photograph well. I am so glad I listened to her because at the end of the session, she asked us to do a few different poses. I'm not that adventurous -- she made me feel comfortable. Her suggestions turned out to be my favorite. Trust me, if you hire her - LISTEN to what she says. It's well worth it. She sent my gallery over within a week and I was blown away at how much I liked the photos. Usually, I have a hard time finding 1 picture that I like. Shannon was very flexible yet firm and clear in her direction. I felt comfortable and confident in her ability. I honestly think I would drive 3 hours to use her again.

    Shannon was great to work with. She was able to work around my families chaotic schedule and did…read morenot show that she was bothered at all when we needed to reschedule. The photos are amazing! I am happy to have family pictures that I am proud to display. She even worked with me after upload on a shot that was my favorite but needed a little adjustment. She really has gone above and beyond and I am so glad that we found her! Thank you Shannon!

    Twirl has been our go-to for portraits for nearly two decades, with photos of everyone from babies…read moreto the old folks. The photographer behind Twirl always suggests an excellent location and timing so you get magical photos. No surprise there: some of the historic photos published in the Times Picayune from the Katrina era were hers. Ditto some actors' head shots you may see in posters and programs for shows around town. She's even got a Pulitzer to show for it (the journalism, not the head shots). But enough about her background. You'll start with a dialogue defining what you want to come out of your session. Then when the time (and light) is right, meet up with Jenn for a dynamic photo session with a mix of carefully posed compositions and some carefree, "just look like you're running to the ice cream truck!" shots. It's busy but a lot of fun. Out of all that, expect some good choices for your album.

    Jennifer recently photographed my headshots. I knew I needed new portraits of myself, but I was…read moredreading it because I hate being in front of the camera. Jennifer quickly assured me that it would be painless, and she was absolutely right. She coached me through the whole session made me laugh, and it felt like I was actually working with a friend. This was my first experience of actually enjoying being in front of the camera. I look like a better version of myself without it looking stiff or retouched. If you are looking for an easy stress-free, headshot or portrait session run to contact Jennifer she is truly amazing! Thanks again I actually really love my photos! Thanks Twirl Photography!!

    AMAZING! How do I give 10 stars?…read more My team hired Yvette Pontheir of New Orleans Event Photography) to photograph a 3 day corporate event. We opted for 2 days of photography and her "green screen" selfie station. The price was reasonable and fair and I was delighted to have the contract signed. Why Yvette from the three finalists chosen for the contract? Quite simply, I found her images stunning! Once onsite Yvette and her team were prompt, professional, communicative, and they worked constantly! They were not a passive "let's see who comes up to us for a photograph" team, they were engaging and fun! They reached out to my event attendees (about 380) and made them smile, feel comfortable, and enjoy having photographs taken. My attendees LOVED Yvette and her team and yours will, too! Yvette's "eye" for composition is awe-inspiring. She captured the depth and breadth of breathtaking rooms while sharing the human element and emotion of the moment with each photo. The photos are the absolute best I have yet seen in 5 years of executing on a particular event. She captured action shots of attendees laughing and sharing cards around a table, my guests focused on and reacting to keynote speakers, and many groups of attendees happily smiling and posing together for group photos. Yvette and New Orleans Event Photography knocked it out of the park. When she smiled broadly and said, "I travel," I immediately started the math calculations to determine how many Delta points I needed to bring her to my next event. The selfie station/photo booth was a HUGE hit all throughout the 3 day conference. A guest could choose from multiple New Orleans themed backgrounds and there were a ton of fun props, from feather boas and hats to famous street signs for the guests to add to their photo. Best of all, the attendees had a full-color, New Orleans themed photo memory home in their carry-on. Yvette and team went ABOVE and BEYOND expectations. When a high level executive asked about new professional headshots, Yvette grabbed her camera, positioned the exec in great lighting, and snapped several shots. She did this multiple times for guests even though we did not have portrait photography on our contract. The value that Yvette and team bring to your event or special occasion is PHENOMENAL. 10 stars and HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    This experience was a breeze. I had to get Australian…read morepassport photos and the entire process was easy and fun. The hardest part was trying not to smile while getting photographed. I was in and out in around 10 minutes, the friendliest staff you can imagine, professional set-up, reasonable fee. The photos are high quality and flattering, they will take a few pictures and let you choose which you like best. I highly recommended NOLA event photography for any headshot needs. I will definitely return for pictures in future.
