Meet Chad – Louisiana Photographer
I’m Chad Populis, a Louisiana photographer, creator, and proud Louisiana native. I specialize in capturing real love stories with refinement, emotion, and cultural authenticity.
As an African-American photographer, I understand the beauty of diverse traditions and the importance of photographing melanin-rich skin tones accurately.

My Style and What I Do
I specialize in three things: wedding photography, boudoir, and professional headshots. My focus is simple—deliver images that feel confident, polished, and true to the moment, without making the process feel complicated or uncomfortable.
How I Work
Guided, not stiff
You’ll get direction that feels clear and natural. Whether it’s wedding portraits, boudoir posing, or headshot coaching, my goal is to help you look and feel your best without awkwardness.
Efficient and calm
Most people don’t enjoy being photographed because it feels uncertain. I remove that uncertainty with a straightforward plan and clear communication.
Consistent results
You’ll receive editing that is clean and timeless—built to hold up over time, not just for a trend.
