Prom Portraits for Bailey at the Sheraton Metairie and Pontchartrain Lakefront

Bailey’s prom portrait session was a beautiful mix of storytelling, family moments, and scenic outdoor portraits. We began at the Sheraton Metairie, capturing the getting-ready portion of the session with her mom. Those moments added a meaningful layer to the shoot, because prom is not just about the final look — it is also about the anticipation, support, and excitement leading up to the event.

Inside the hotel, the room and lobby stairway gave us elegant, clean backdrops that complemented Bailey’s look perfectly. The lobby portraits felt polished and timeless, while the getting-ready images brought warmth and personality to the gallery. There is something special about documenting the quiet moments before prom, especially when loved ones are part of the experience.

From there, we moved to the Pontchartrain Lakefront at Breakwater Park, where sunset and twilight created an incredible atmosphere. The changing light over the water gave the portraits a soft, romantic mood, and the Mercedes SUV added a sleek finishing touch. The combination of natural scenery, evening color, and luxury details helped create a set of images that felt both classic and modern.

Bailey’s gallery reflects the full prom experience — preparation, family connection, confidence, and celebration. Sessions like this are a reminder that the strongest prom portraits come from more than one backdrop. They come from telling the full story of the day.
