Founder/Lead Photographer

Scott began photographing weddings, portraits, and events in New Orleans in late 2007, striking out with his own business in 2008. Photography was a passion picked up during several years spent traveling and living on a train as a musician in the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus. Traveling through the country via rail and visiting cities throughout the continental U.S. provided ample opportunities to explore photography as a medium. With a plethora of performers willing to pose for portraiture, there was ample opportunity to practice that skill as well. Upon moving to New Orleans in 2007 to finish a degree in jazz performance, Scott decided it would be wise to look into whether the skills developed in photography during those years could help support his expenses while in school, and began photographing weddings as an assistant, as well as providing editing services. In 2008, he began taking on his own clients, and in the years that followed photographed hundreds of weddings, major advertising campaigns, social media content for several companies, countless corporate events, and portraits. Scott enjoys the challenge of photography, of selecting the right moments and frames that tell the story of an event in the best light possible, and of making people look their best.

Later that year, she received a grant from the Pulitzer Center to photograph the recovery from back-to-back hurricanes Laura and Delta in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
