One of the most rewarding aspects of my work with the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana was spending time with the people and sharing their stories through visual media. I always aimed to capture the essence of these moments in a way that made the viewer feel as if they were right there with us, experiencing the love, spirit, and energy firsthand. I have so many cherished memories that I can't pick just a few favorites. I invite you to take a look at the Diocese of Louisiana's Facebook photo albums, where you can see the stories we've been telling for the past ten years. View the albums here.
I adore my hometown! It's a sensory delight with plenty to explore. Here are some of my favorite photos from my travels around New Orleans.

I had a lot of fun with this photo series. Who said sheltering at home during the COVID-19 pandemic had to be boring? These pictures are a beautiful reminder of when WWOZ brought us the best of Jazz Fest during a difficult time. I made the most of that time by cooking my favorite festival food and listening to music non-stop. It's a great memory that I'll always cherish!

The life cycle of a butterfly is fascinating to watch. Nature is amazing.
For the past ten years, I've had the blessing to be in the company of Chloe, an Alaskan Husky / Shepherd mix. She found me one day at a dog adoption event and has never left my side.
