Photos might have been the only "traditional" thing we did, but they were important to me and I am so very glad we found Kathleen! We got married on what must have been the hottest day of the year here in New Orleans and somehow Kathleen managed to make it look like no one was melting! We all met up in Jackson Square and she got our photographs with landmarks as well as street performers, all while letting us dodge in and out of various bars and businesses to take cool-down breaks. She was an absolute joy to work with, the pictures are absolutely stunning and I couldn't be happier with them! She charges a fraction of the average rate, has such cute and unique posing ideas and even better, instead of paying a fortune for prints, she sent us 2 CDs of the (retouched) images and we can print them at will! Both my husband and I have experience modeling and are no stranger to the camera, so when we say that Kathleen is great to work with, it holds water! I'm not sure what the next thing I'll need a photographer for, but whatever it happens to be, I'm calling Kathleen!

Kathleen is amazing! My fiancée and I were looking to have affordable engagement photos taken in…read morethe French Quarter, and after a lot of research we reached out to her due to her impressive portfolio and reasonable rates. She graciously accommodated our request (she doesn't specifically list engagement shoots in her pricing sheet), and even cancelled a personal appointment to keep the shoot when there was a threat of rain at the original time we agreed on. We had a blast the whole time, and she even added an additional ten minutes (for free!) to the shoot because of the fun we were all having. The pictures turned out amazing. She has a great eye and gives good direction. I'd recommend her to anyone! Thanks Kathleen!

Pricing and offerings were always transparent. The wedding party was immediately impressed by her experience and professionalism as she took getting ready shots. Her photos are beautiful, she has an uncanny ability to capture the emotion/romance and the party. Amazing attention to detail. We also did Super 8 video which was SO fun. We didn't feel like we needed full videography, but wanted to capture important moments, so this was a happy medium, but with a fun vintage feel. She really caters to each of her couples. You can see her style across her portfolio, but you always see the couples' personality, too. Highly recommend!!!!

I found myself wanting to be best friends with her. And the photography that she and Joel produced were beyond our expectations! Neither my partner and I are very good with posing and taking pictures in normal every day circumstances, so I am sure that we were not the easiest subjects to photoshoot! They created some master pieces and I can not say enough kind things about them. They not only captured our intimate moments but they captured the very essence of the day, with our friends and family. I would recommend Linka to everyone!!! Her work speaks for itself, and her presence is calming, reassuring and inspiring.

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.

We cannot say enough good things about Red M Studio. From start to finish, working with Marianne &…read moreSteve was an incredible experience, and hiring them was one of the best decisions we made for our New Orleans "not a wedding" wedding. I found Red M Studio through a Reddit recommendation from another couple who loved their photos, and after seeing their work, I immediately understood why. We wanted to support a small business, loved their aesthetic, and knew we needed professionals who could capture something intimate and nontraditional without turning it into a production. Leading up to the day, Marianne & Steve were incredibly organized and thoughtful. We had both a phone call and a Zoom meeting where they walked through every detail to make sure nothing was missed. They even used Google Maps to virtually walk us through the French Quarter and talk through locations and timing. That level of preparation made us feel completely at ease. Our original plan was to elope, but as anyone who tries to elope in New Orleans learns, that rarely stays small. What unfolded was a joyful, intimate gathering we lovingly called our "not a wedding." Marianne & Steve captured every part of it beautifully, from exchanging vows privately in our hotel suite, to wandering the French Quarter on Halloween night, stopping at the Carousel Bar, befriending a very determined French Quarter cat, and ending the evening with a private dinner at Arnaud's surrounded by our favorite people. They truly understood the assignment. The photos feel authentic, emotional, and perfectly us. Nothing felt staged or forced, and we never once felt uncomfortable or overly "on display." The final gallery tells the story of the day exactly as it was: warm, a little spooky, deeply personal, and full of love. If you're getting married in New Orleans and want photographers who are professional, intuitive, and genuinely invested in telling your story, Red M Studio is exceptional. We will treasure these photos forever.

The pictures turned out awful! I am thin and I do not have a double chin. In the pictures Roddy took, I do. My daughter isn't looking at the camera in most of the pics. You cannot even tell I have make-up on because the lighting is so bad. My hair is a mess in the pictures as well. In one picture my daughter is straddling my husband in a dress. My family members have also commented on the quality of the pictures and I have no desire to have any of them printed. I wasted $400 on pictures I'll never use. Walmart's picture studio does a better job than Roddy did.

Her rates were fair and she asked lots of questions to be sure she got what I wanted. She was upfront about her standard terms and who would own the final raw photos as well as what she would provide in the way of color correction afterwards.

Artistic types can sometimes be aloof and poor business types. My experience with Lee is a real…read moreexample of this type. I don't know if he is a genius photographer because his unprofessional contract ultimately caused us to part ways. I was happy to engage him and we agreed on a family shoot. He sent the contract and it was riddled with typos and terms that were risky for any client to accept. For example, the contract indicated he would get paid even if he failed to complete the shoot and his terms also stated the client would sign over all rights to him for the photos and allow him to use the images in any way he chooses. When children are involved this should be redacted. I amended the contract to ensure both parties were clear on terms and I was sent 3 disturbing emails from Lee chastising my desire to change the terms and how he now feels " blocked" from being with my family. I don't know if he intended to obscond with our money or use our photos in a Way that would put or children at risk, but I would not advise anyone to accept and sign a contract that does not reflect both parties wishes and expectations. That is the point of a contract. Mr Henderson's lack of business acumen should be enough to give a prospective client pause.
