New Orleans Event PhotographeR

For Events That Could Only Happen Here

Culture. Energy. Celebration.

I Know This City.

I was born and raised in New Orleans, and long before I photographed events professionally, I understood that this is a city that does things differently. The places, traditions, people, and energy of New Orleans are often part of the reason organizations choose to gather here in the first place.

I’ve since spent more than a decade as a professional photographer, covering everything from intimate gatherings to major conferences and high-profile events for organizations including NASA, National Geographic, and The World Bank. When I photograph an event in New Orleans, I bring both sides of that experience with me: an understanding of the city and the professional experience to deliver photographs that have a job to do long after the event ends.

Proven in Practice

Every event has its own rhythm. I pay attention to who matters, where the energy is moving, what people are reacting to, and what is about to happen next. The better I understand the room, the less I have to chase moments after they’ve already happened.
Great photographs shouldn’t depend on whether the venue happened to give me great light. I bring a complete lighting setup to every event and adapt it to the room, creating polished, dimensional photographs whether I’m working in an ornate ballroom or a windowless conference space.
I’ve worked as an associate photographer for other photography businesses, so I know the model: a client books with a company, and an available photographer is assigned to cover the event. It’s a common way to scale a photography business, but it isn’t how I’ve chosen to build mine. When you hire me, you get me. If I’m not available for your date, I’ll tell you rather than quietly send someone else in my place.

Hi, I’m Taylor

I was born and raised in New Orleans and have spent more than a decade working professionally as a photographer. My career has taken me around the country and into assignments for organizations including NASA, National Geographic, and The World Bank, but New Orleans is where my understanding of people, culture, and gathering began.

Professionally, that experience has taught me how to work in rooms where there are no second chances: major conferences, high-profile speakers, private gatherings, and events where the photographs have a purpose long after everyone goes home.

When an assignment brings me back to New Orleans, I bring both perspectives with me—the familiarity of someone who knows the city and the experience of a photographer accustomed to working at a national level.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are your photos delivered?
Through a private, beautifully presented online gallery. You can download everything directly, create favorites lists, and easily share the gallery with your team, guests, and sponsors. If you’d like to see a sample gallery before booking, just ask— I’m happy to share one!
How soon will we receive the photos?
My standard turnaround time is 7 business days from the end of your event, but I frequently deliver much sooner— including same-day selects and expedited full galleries for many of my clients. If you have a specific deadline, I’m happy to work with it. I’d much rather underpromise and overdeliver than leave you waiting for your photographs.
Do you travel for events?
Yes! I am based in the Northeast but regularly travel thousands of miles for my clients.
How does pricing work?
I price each event based on the time, complexity, and specific requirements involved. When you reach out, share as much as you can about your event, including the date, location, duration, number of attendees, and what you’re hoping to capture. If you have a budget in mind, I encourage you to share that as well. I approach budgets honestly; knowing yours helps me find a structure that works for both of us, rather than simply determining how much to charge.
