200+ New Orleans Instagram Folks (+ #Hashtags!) Worth Following

Like the Louisiana doodle above? I drew it! You can get it on products ranging from postage stamps to luggage tags in my Zazzle shop!

For me, visual forms of social media, like Pinterest and Instagram, have quickly overtaken my interests, replacing Facebook and Twitter as favorite places to spend my time online. Let’s face it, pictures are just prettier and more interesting to look at!!

I follow a lot of locally based New Orleans Instagrammers, and so I thought it would be fun to share a few of my favorites. I’ve broken them down into loosely organized categories to make it easier to digest. Dig in, because here are tons of New Orleans Instagram folks that I think are worth the follow!

“I’m six and I started [masking] when I was three. When I was a baby I used to look at my mama when she was masking. I was one year old looking at her. She wore white and white and gold. Since she was a Indian I wanted to be an Indian. My uncle was it too. Uncle Tootie. And my Uncle David and… my Grandma Gail.”
“How do you feel when you’re out there?”
“Nice, happy, good, fun. I’m in front of all the people. They tell my mom that ‘That’s your son? That boy rule, he rule.'”
