A Great Photograph Makes You Feel

Lynn McMorris is a freelance photographer living in New Roads, Louisiana.

Her services include family, event, commercial and drone photography. She is a member of Professional Photographers of America and the Louisiana Photographic Society.

She picked up her first camera at age twenty two and was immediately hooked. A natural born story teller she recognized the camera was a tool capable of tricking time, freezing moments as time marched on.

A good photograph prods one’s mind and awakens one’s senses. The great photographer David Alan Harvey once said “Don’t shoot what it looks like. Shoot what it feels like.” When properly rendered, a great photograph makes a person feel.

Recently retired as a critical care registered nurse, Lynn’s outlook on life has been honed through years of nursing in the areas of Neonatal Intensive Care, Pediatric Intensive Care, Surgical Intensive Care, Emergency Departments and Trauma Centers, Cardiac Intensive Care and the Cardiac Cath Lab.

As a former travel nurse and full-time RV’er, the road was her home as she worked contracts from California to Maine, from the border with Mexico to Alaska, including almost two years as an emergency room and flight nurse in Anchorage, AK and several contracts within the Navajo Nation.

Along the way she paddled, fished, hiked and backpacked through some of our nation’s most beautiful areas. It was during this time period Lynn realized a simple, undeniable truth. Friends and adventure are truly the wealth of one’s life.

Prior to becoming a nurse, Lynn worked as a nationally registered EMT-Paramedic in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana and on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Through her work with The Never Quit Never Forget Gala and the Just Cause Flag Campaign, Lynn has helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for foundations supporting our military, veterans and their families.

Prior to it’s untimely demise, she was the founder and co-owner of EatLikeANative.com where she grew fat and happy exploring locally owned, hole-in-the wall Louisiana restaurants, sharing their stories and secrets so others would be moved to get the hell out of the chain restaurants and enjoy the treasure that is Louisiana cuisine.

When not working, she enjoys spoiling her cute but seemingly not overly bright cats, Debit and Credit.
