Lacey McLaughlin Photography

I am so impressed with Lacey and her photography skills. I stumbled upon her work searching through Instagram and fell in love with her work immediately. Lacey was very professional and gave us what we wanted. I wish we had more time with her being from out of state. We visit New Orleans quite often and she will be our go to photographer. Our wedding pictures came out perfect and can’t wait to hang them on our wall.

Lacey is fantastic! Our anniversary photos are gorgeous! She made us feel comfortable, listened to what we wanted and captured some great shots. Thanks Lacey!

As New Orleanians, there are a lot of wedding photographers to choose from, and I can reassure you that Lacey is one of the best! My finance and I were referred to Lacey by our wedding coordinator, and we’re are beyond happy to have her as our photographer! So far it’s been a great experience taking our engagement pictures, and we can’t wait to have Lacey there for our big day! She was very professional while also making us feel very comfortable for what we thought might by an awkward photo shoot. She has a great artistic eye and gave us classic yet unique pictures that our family and friends agree are amazing. Lacey is truly talented, and we highly recommend her!

My fiancé and I are from Chicago and were traveling to New Orleans for our engagement shoot. After months of trying to find the «right one», I found Lacey by pure luck on Instagram using the hashtag #neworleansphotographer and I couldnt be happier with her and her amazing work. She is a lot of talent in a tiny package! She made my fiancé and I feel very comfortable and confident while she shot us. I was afraid we would look awkward or too posed for our pictures, but Lacey made sure to capture us perfectly. Not only was she budget friendly, she was very professional about returning emails and answering any questions or concerns. AND she got us our pictures back asap! Lacey is amazing to work with and I hope to use her again in the future to capture other life memories!

Absolutely beautiful work! Although my fiancé and I we were very nervous, she was still able to catch the small moments where we look relaxed and comfortable. I highly recommend her for any shoot. I am hoping to work with her again. Thanks for the fantastic work Lacey!

My husband I were going to New Orleans for an anniversary trip and I wanted to get some photos done, luckily I came across Lacey’s website and loved her photos and she agreed to take photos of us :) She made us feel so comfortable and the photos are stunning. We will treasure them forever! If you’re looking for an incredible photographer to capture your special day, this is your girl. Thanks so much Lacey!

My husband and I were celebrating our 5^th wedding anniversary in New Orleans and we wanted it to be extra special. We decided to have pictures done while we were there. After looking at some of her work online, we decided to go with Lacey. Not only was she accommodating with our travel schedule, her prices were awesome as well! Our originally scheduled photo shoot was rained out, but Lacey so graciously agreed to reschedule. She has a fantastic photographic eye and she is such a sweet person to work with. Most importantly, she listens to her clients’ needs and requests. Our pictures were beautiful! I would definitely recommend Lacey to anyone who wants to capture a special day or moment in time. We had an awesome experience!

Upon first looking at Lacey’s extensive portfolio, I knew she could provide the unique and sharp headshot I was looking for. Tired of the typical headshot for acting, I was looking for something more creative, that captured who I am rather than recreating a stock image. Lacey found a way to taking a seemingly boring style of photo and incorporate life and character like I’ve never seen before.
I’m not the most photogenic person, but Lacey made me feel completely comfortable and provided guidance to achieve the best looks. She always answered promptly when I contacted her and returned my photos in a timely fashion despite the fact that she had another huge photo session for a wedding in Costa Rica directly following mine.
I absolutely love how my photos came out, I can’t wait to recommend her to others and I’m looking forward to working with her again in the future!

My husband and I had planned a trip to New Orleans for our daughter’s baptism, mothers day and gender reveal with family traveling from many places. We needed to make sure to capture good pictures and without knowing Lacey or much of her work beforehand we felt like it would be great, and we just enjoyed working with her. She was on time, followed up with us on date, time, location and ideas. The delivery of pictures and site online to view and download was also great!
If you are ever in Colorado let us know Lacey, we’d love more pictures

O.M.G. Lacey is AMAZING! My now fiancé hired Lacey to capture his surprise proposal to me in front of Jackson Square. First… she didn’t give the surprise away at all. Second… her photos are breathtaking!!! She perfectly captured our happiness and love! I literally can’t stop staring at them! If you looking for a photographer… look no further… she is the best!!!

My husband and I stumbled upon Lacey by luck! Not knowing about her work beforehand, we had actually hired another photographer to cover our Sonoma, CA wedding. She brought Lacey as her associate/​assistant photographer for the day.
How lucky were we to have 2 great photographers?! I’m not quite positive which specific images were edited by which photographer, but Lacey posted one image on her Instagram account, and I absolutely loved it — the colors, light, the moment — just perfect. (I’m sure that specific photo had to be her editing).
Overall, Lacey’s sweet and calm demeanor kept me at ease on the day of the wedding; she was a pleasure to communicate with afterwards; and the photos are just beautiful and captured the spirit of the best day of our lives.
We’ll be sure to reach out for those maternity, baby, and family portraits in the future! NOLA is lucky to have you, Lacey, but we hope you’ll maintain your business on the west coast when you’re in SF :)

Don’t let her soft demeanor fool you. Lacey is a serious photographer! My husband and I recently spent 7 days in New Orleans to celebrate our 10^th wedding anniversary. We hadn’t had professional pictures taken since then and called several in the NOLA area. After several of them flaking or wanting to charge us the same price as a full wedding, we (fortunate for us) came across Lacey. She happened to be available on the day of our anniversary and said she’d be happy to do a session for us.
We decided we wanted to take photos in one of the oldest cemeteries in the city and she was excited to do so. Come to find out, she’d wanted to do photos there since she’d moved to NOLA from San Francisco and was excited to take the project on.
From the moment we met her, we felt perfectly at ease. It was a chilly day, even for New Orleans in March, but she was a trooper, giving no indication that the cold or the biting wind made one bit of difference.
She was open to our suggestions about little corners of the cemetery that would make good photos as well as directed us on poses and backdrops. After the cemetery, we wandered the streets in the neighborhood, finding lots of other great little spots for photos.
From start to finish, Lacey was nothing but professional and easy going. Leaving from our session that day, I decided I’d be happy if we got 10 good pictures. It was so cold that day, I wasn’t sure if we’d look as cold as we were in the photos.
When I finally got the pictures from her (after only a WEEK!), I was ecstatic. Lacey is truly an artist with a fantastic eye for photography. I still don’t know how she managed to capture so many wonderful images. She balanced close-​ups with wider angles in a way that perfectly captured and commemorated that moment in our lives.
I highly recommend Lacey for all your photography needs. She’s a pro and one of the sweetest people I’ve met! Thank you, Lacey, for capturing such a special moment in our life.

I found Lacey through her stellar Unilocal reviews and can vouch that they are absolutely true! :) I was looking for a professional «updated senior portrait» for grad school graduation, and Lacey did an amazing job. I often feel awkward in front of a camera, but Lacey is so calm and sweet — and professional! — that I immediately felt at ease.
She provided great direction but also captured authentic portraits that look genuine and natural rather than forced and «posed.» She also had great ideas for new locations, and I could always tell that she knew exactly what she was doing! The results are fantastic, and I am definitely going to call Lacey when I need professional photographs in the future!

After weeks of searching for the perfect photographer, my fiancé and I finally found Lacey. We met up with her for our engagement session at Audubon Park, and she immediately put us at ease. Our engagement shoot, complete with a stroll in the park and a visit to the ice cream parlor, felt like a mini-​date. We had so much fun!
We knew our pictures would be in talented hands considering Lacey’s blog, but we were blown away when we saw the final product. The pictures capture everything we could have hoped for and more. From the gorgeous lighting to the candid moments of laughter and love, Lacey caught it all. She is a true talent.
We highly recommend Lacey, and we hope to keep the privilege of having her photograph our future projects!

I wanted an updated portrait for my blog and I told Lacey what I had in mind. She was super easy to work with and I felt comfortable in my skin with her. I am thrilled with the photos that I received and cannot wait to find another reason to work with her again. Definitely recommend!
