Veronica » Travel Portraits » New Orleans Bywater & City Park

During my eight years as an Oregon photographer, I only had one session for clients vacationing in Oregon. But during my five years as a New Orleans photographer, I suddenly found that people on vacation made up over half of my annual portrait sessions! When my cousin Veronica came to visit, of course we made time for a travel session. She’s such a beauty, as you can see, in the Bywater and City Park.

We started in the Bywater, but the water falling from the sky temporarily rained out our session. In hopes the rain would pass, we went to some of the most beautiful covered areas in New Orleans: City Park’s Peristyle, and the large oak trees, which provide a natural cover from sprinkles. Our patience was rewarded with an empty City Park as our portrait playground. We stayed past sunset, well into the dusky light of the “blue hour”, when the City Park streetlamps glow yellow along the path, to soak up the last moments of natural light at the often-photographed Langles Bridge and Bayou Metairie.
