We started our business, Bleu Lily Photography, a little over a year ago on August 1, 2010. It's been an interesting journey and along the way we've been able to discover plenty of treasures that our wonderful city of New Orleans has to offer. Being photographers we bring our cameras practically everywhere and the beauty of technology is that if we don't, we most certainly have our cell phones! Being able to document our journey has been great, we are making memories that we can look back on and enjoy for years to come. We take everything that we do as an experience and our goal is to try all sorts of new things that this city has to offer. Oh, but we don't plan on stopping there; traveling has been a new favorite that we've added to our list of things to do, and we're looking forward to seeing what lies beyond these Louisiana state lines. Life is too short to do anything but enjoy the simple things, so we decided to share our experiences with you in hopes to inspire some of you to do the same.

So, what types of things do we experience? Well, having roots here in New Orleans we love good food! So, a lot of what you'll see here on The Bleu Lily Experience will be food related (i.e. Restaurants, Festivals, etc.) We also love a good deal, so we have a new found interest in places that offer daily specials. You'll also see us post our experience at a venue that we've visited and enjoyed, along with many posts of different events that we attend. We attend many types of events in the city such as networking, fundraising, socializing, premieres, grand openings, concerts and more.

You'll see some of our personal lives intertwined on this site, as with our photography, because who better to have these experiences with then our own family and friends. We enjoy meeting new people and hope that all of you reading this will interact with us and offer feedback. We have a Questions/Suggestions section that we'll hope you'll use if there are any places or events that you think we should experience, or to just ask a question. So, we invite you to come along and enjoy the Bleu Lily Experience with us.

New Orleans is known for many things and there is no denying that the one thing any person can rave about is the food. The city, bustling with constant energy is home to a melting pot of diverse and unique cultures, and the same can be said about the delicious food. The New Orleans Oyster Festival comes as a huge celebration for most locals, as the seafood industry took a 1-2-3 punch with first Hurricane Katrina, and 5 years later the Gulf Oil Spill. The thought of not having oysters is disheartening, as that is one of the many great things New Orleans is known for.
Well we are here to tell you that is of the past! The New Orleans Oyster Festival was without a doubt a huge success because the oysters are back and better than ever! This year’s event was located in the French Quarter. To be exact: The Berger Parking Lot at Decatur and the river between Jax Brewery and the Hard Rock Cafe. Along with the great food, this was a good time to listen to some awesome music and mingle with family and friends. Admission was free and the proceeds from the food sales went to Local Coastal Communities effected by the Gulf Oil Spill. Let’s hope they do it next year!
