Autumn Hutton Photography New Orleans Birth and Motherhood lifestyle Photographer. I’m Autumn, parenthood photographer and momtrepreneur.

Originally from southwest Florida, I currently live in Marrero, Louisiana. I moved to New Orleans by myself for no particular reason at all over 8 years ago. I met a Cajun boy, fell in love and made my home here. When I'm not photographing families, I'm with my own, getting dirty in our garden or helping my husband with his crawfish catering business.

Research has shown that when a partner is actively involved during labor and birth, outcomes improve for both mother and baby.

Studies have found that continuous support during labor is associated with:

• Lower rates of cesarean birth
• Reduced need for pain medication
• Shorter labors
• Higher satisfaction with the birth experience
• Better maternal emotional wellbeing after birth
• Higher rates of breastfeeding

For many families, dad is more than just a witness to the birth. He becomes an anchor. A steady hand. A familiar voice. A source of comfort when everything feels intense and uncertain.

I’ve watched fathers hold their partners during the intensity of contractions, advocate for their wishes, wipe away tears, catch their babies, and step into parenthood in real time.

(Dads, these photos are for you too!)

Only an hour old and an absolute model.

Your birth story includes up to two hours of post-partum coverage because there's so much that happens after the main event. Golden hour, first latch, the newborn exam, skin to skin with dad.

Baby's first portraits are always some of my favorites 🥹

Everywhere else it was just a Tuesday...
But while the streets were filled with party and plastic
a mother was birthing her baby at home.

I made it with mere minutes to spare.

Hi thereeee,

For those of you who I've yet to meet, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Autumn, and I am from SW Florida. I've been in New Orleans for over a decade. One day I just decided I wanted to move away to somewhere new by myself just because. A rare instance I let go of my impulse control.

I found a Cajun and made two Cajun babies. Birthed them on my bathroom floor (10/10 would do again) and have been slowly building a quiet life on the West Bank.

I'm quite the perfectionist (I'm a Libra okayyyyy) but I chose gardening to be my one area of chaos. I throw seeds around, build everything from reclaimed materials, and don't worry about having a picture-perfect garden. I aim for my children's fondest memories of me to be of us getting dirty and just watching the bugs do their little bug things.

I love photographing births, and all things birth adjacent. I want to capture the moments that happen all the time until they no longer do. A moment in time that cannot be replicated. Portraits captured in the wild of your home.

So, that's a little about me.
Feel free to share your favorite film &/or book(s) below :)

A family of three became a family of five 🥲

A well-rested mom birthed both babies exactly how she wanted and were they ever so eager to meet her!

I was honored to photograph her first birth as well, and something I just love is how much more involved and confident dads are when it's the second go around. We love to see it 🥹

Building a life that my children won't have to heal from is one of my greatest ambitions.

Instead there are always flowers blooming, art and music being made, daily dance parties, and love - lots of love.

And finally, pt 3.

Still incredibly hard to shove as many images into 20 slides when you sent a gallery of over 300 and they're all just so good; alas I digress.

Since it's not my birth story to tell, I'll let the images speak for me. Birth is a wild ride.

Pt. 2

Morning came and mom was encouraged to reset: shower, eat, and start some movement. Even in the daylight this home was full of color. Oh and the love! The love between these two is so prevalent and strong; adoration is hardly an accurate enough noun to describe how it felt to bear witness. I trust you'll feel the same as you look upon these images.

Nighttime would come again before baby made their debut.

I remember when I walked up to this house and saw the many multi-colored lights throughout the home and thought to myself "oh my god this is a photographers worst nightmare". I was scared. Using flash was clearly forbidden; the sanctity of this birth depended on it.

I leaned into it. Lowering my shutter and holding my breath for each shot. Mom labored all night, amidst house and drum and bass beats. Eventually we (her birth team) piled onto the couch and took a nap giving her and her partner some space.

Pt. 1 because 20 slides is hard.

Something I've added to my workflows is a session planning call. While I've always sent out a questionnaire before any photoshoot, chatting face-to-face prior to our session has been a game changer.

Here's how it works:

When you book your photoshoot date, you'll also book a zoom call - typically sometime within a week of the shoot. We'll spend up to an hour getting to know each other (which helps with the pre-shoot anxiety!) and we'll figure out together exactly what you hope your images look (& most importantly) 𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘭 like.
