Teena Whitmore Portraits

New Orleans Children's Photographer

capturing the imagination of childhood

- Jessica B.

It is hard not to tear up writing this review. Our sessions with Teena have created so many special moments and memories that we will treasure forever.  She connected with my girls instantly and had them giggling and having fun despite the cold morning. We have had the good fortune of working with her several more times. Each time is beyond a special occasion, for kids and grown ups. Her thoughtful special touches and personality ensure that everyone has a great time at the shoot. She is always offering new heirloom quality options for displaying the photos. We have been able to grow our collection in a gorgeous way and I value her opinion immensely.  Her work speaks for itself. 

"Every image unlocks the magic that lives in
our hearts in the most beautiful ways."

My littlest clients deserve a chance to be pampered, too!  Our children undergo so much pressure on a daily basis and often grow up too fast.  They're expected to be adults before it's time and lose their sense of wonder and imagination earlier and earlier.  Let them be little.  Let them be kids.

Your little ones are some of my favorite clients.  I love playing dress-up with them (check out of client closet), choosing accessories, wings, or anything else they may dream up.  I love hearing about their fantasy worlds and imaginary friends.  Most of all, I love capturing all these details into stunning photographs of your children in one of the most creative times of their life.  Remember, the days are slow, but the years go by quickly.  Before you know it, they will be all grown up.  Don't miss this special time.

KIDS ARE KIDS. 
I DOn't expect them to be adults.

I have clients call me all the time and say "I don't think my toddler can handle this." 
Trust me when I tell you they can.  And they will love it.  
I'm not expecting your kids to sit still, follow all the directions,
and act like perfect angels in my studio.  I want to see their personalities
and capture them for you.  I've got all the tools needed to connect with your
kids and get the perfect portraits you will love and cherish. 
Let your kids be kids, and leave the rest to me.

children FAQ

The short answer - YES!  Although my studio focuses on custom artwork and heirloom products, you receive a complimentary digital file of each photo that you choose to purchase. 

Do i get the digital files?

You order what is best for you and suits your lifestyle.  I always recommend pieces for the wall because you see them every day.  It's the best way to enjoy your photos.  Albums, print boxes, and digital files are also popular.

Do I have to order wall art?

Your final cost depends on how many favorites you choose and what display options are best for you.  Our custom sessions have a $400 booking fee with collections beginning at $950, with hair and makeup included.  Petite sessions begin at $590.

How much should I budget for photos?

Sessions take place either at my Uptown studio or on location. This really depends on what you want - if you want a unicorn or dragon, outside is best.  If you want a fine art feel, in studio is great.  We'll talk through it all and come up with a plan.

Where should I have my photo session?

These sessions are perfect for solo kids, siblings, and you can even include your pet.  Depending on our plan and theme, sometimes parents will jump in for a photo too (who can resist a magical unicorn)?

WHO's included in a kid's session?

I've got you covered.  Just check out the option in the client closet!  It is full of couture gowns, both long and short, in all sizes ranging from 2T to child size 14, as well as adult gowns for older girls.  Want to provide your own?  I'll help you find the perfect gown.

Where can I get a fancy dress for my kid?
