What’s the experience like?

“Okay, just lean against that old iron fence—yeah, right there.” That’s what our photographer said as we wandered through the French Quarter, and honestly, I almost laughed because I’d never felt less like a model in my life. But somehow it worked. The air smelled faintly of powdered sugar from Cafe Du Monde drifting over, and people strolled by with that unhurried New Orleans vibe. Our guide (I think his name was Marcus?) had this way of making us forget about the camera—he kept chatting about how Preservation Hall’s jazz spills out onto the street at night, and how you can always spot locals by the way they say “y’all” with a drawl.

We stopped outside St. Louis Cathedral, and he caught this moment where I was squinting up at the spires—didn’t even know he was shooting. There were kids chasing pigeons across Jackson Square, someone playing saxophone off to the side. At one point on Bourbon Street I tried to strike a “cool” pose and just ended up laughing so hard I nearly ruined my makeup (Marcus said those are always the best shots anyway). He even snapped a few near Court of Two Sisters—the light there is weirdly soft in the late afternoon, kind of gold but not too bright.

I still think about how easy it felt—not stiff or staged at all. We didn’t have to bring anything; Marcus handled all the gear and just sent us a link with our photos later (I think it was about 50 pictures?). There’s one where my partner’s got powdered sugar on his nose from beignets—I keep coming back to that one. So yeah, if you want something better than phone selfies but don’t want to feel awkward for an hour, this private photo shoot in New Orleans is worth it.
