The Perfect NOLA Summer Photo Location For Your Newborn Portraits



Looking for that perfect, escape-from-the-heat photo location for your newborn portraits?


As a local New Orleanian, everyone here KNOWS the summer heat is absolutely brutal. Suffocating. Sweltering. It's not a joke. (I wish it were). As a New Orleans newborn and motherhood photographer, I have done several sessions outdoors--and let me tell you, the images are stunningly beautiful, but the HEAT is killer. Sweat trickling down your forehead and your back while you are all decked out for portraits is well...you get the picture.


As an alternate, AC included option, you could have a photo session in your own home. While this is a lovely option...some moms do not want the hassle of cleaning their home and decluttering soon after giving birth to ready the house for the photographer. Some moms do not like their house enough for portraits to be taken in.


What other options are there besides a dark and outdated studio? Something indoors and unique?


The Main House

This is the most beautiful and perfect location for summertime for your newborn session! It is located in Mandeville, LA, about 45 minutes away from New Orleans. It is owned by the Lacroix Loft + Landing, and is such a luxurious place to hold your portrait session at! (Pictures below).

Benefits of The Main house for a newborn session


  1. An indoor location without using your own home.
  2. A location that has air conditioning for those who do not want to be outside for a session.
  3. Space for your whole family to spread out and be comfortable during your session.
  4. Access to an indoor restroom
  5. A beautiful, private space to change wardrobe! You would be able to wear more than one outfit during this photo session.
  6. Luxurious, elegant and chic location that will result in THE most stunning newborn or motherhood images you will ever have.
  7. Beautiful newborn portraits that will look stunning and unique--your friends won't have newborn portraits like this!
  8. Close to New Orleans, Metairie, Covington, Madisonville and the other surrounding areas.
  9. You won't need to worry about your makeup melting off your face from the heat.
  10. You will have light & airy images in a luxury setting.
