New Orleans Family Portraits

intro

Welcome to the world of Sarah Finicle Photography, where every New Orleans family portrait session is a unique and cherished experience. Today, I'm thrilled to share the heartwarming story of the Cattalanato family, whose recent portrait session was filled with love, laughter, and timeless memories.



A Day with the Cattalanatos Family


The Cattalanato family—mom, dad, their sweet baby boy, and his three older siblings—arrived for their session on a partially sunny day, perfect for capturing those natural, candid moments! As a New Orleans family portrait photographer, there's nothing I love more than seeing families come together, and the Cattalanato's were no exception. Their love and connection were palpable, making the session not only fun but incredibly relaxed.


Effortless Elegance: Mom’s Khaki Dress and Styling Experience


Mom looked absolutely stunning in a lovely khaki dress that coordinated beautifully with her children and husband. The simplicity and elegance of her outfit allowed the family's genuine expressions and interactions to shine through in every photo. I absolutely loved the children's outfits from Danni and Lilou, "a beautiful, ethical clothing company for babies and children, handcrafted using natural and sustainable materials." During the session, Mom enjoyed trying on a few other dresses from our client wardrobe, a collection curated to help every mother feel pampered and at her best. It's always a joy to see the transformation and confidence that comes from finding the perfect dress, and Mom's choice of delicate khaki was spot on.

CAPTURING CANDID MOMENTS


With a partially sunny day as our backdrop, we embraced the natural light to capture genuine, candid moments. The kids played, laughed, and interacted with each other and their parents, while the baby, though only a few months old, was alert and adorable. The relaxed atmosphere allowed for spontaneous moments that are the essence of family life—those little interactions that make each family unique.


SAME-DAY PORTRAIT REVEAL AND HEIRLOOM CREATIONS


One of the highlights of the Cattalanato family's experience was their same-day portrait reveal. After the session, we gathered to view the images, and the joy and excitement were contagious. There’s something magical about seeing your family's love and connection captured so beautifully, and the Cattalanato family was no exception.


We worked together to create stunning heirlooms that will adorn their home and be cherished for generations. The family designed a luxury, heirloom album in a beautiful sage green color, a perfect choice that complemented their home and added a touch of elegance. Additionally, they selected a large wall portrait of the entire family, a centerpiece that will undoubtedly bring warmth and joy to their home every day!

It was an absolute pleasure to serve the Cattalanato family and help them create these timeless pieces of art. Knowing that their children will grow up with these beautiful reminders of their family's love and connection is incredibly rewarding. This is why I do what I do—to create lasting memories and heirlooms that families can treasure forever.
