Meet the Owner

The Parlour on Lorraine exists because Kristie McCready saw a gap and decided to fill it herself.

When Kristie moved to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, she noticed something missing -- a space that truly honored the creative spirit of this community. A place where photographers could work without compromise, where makers could teach without settling, where small business owners could gather their people in a setting that actually matched the quality of what they do. So she built it.

​

Every detail of The Parlour reflects Kristie's belief that environment shapes experience. The vintage aesthetic, the moody lighting, the intentional styling -- none of it is accidental. It was all designed to give Gulf Coast creatives a space that takes their work as seriously as they do.

​

Kristie brings over 15 years of customer service experience and a deep personal investment in the Gulf Coast community to everything she does. She works closely with every member to ensure their session is seamless, personal, and exactly what they envisioned. When you walk into The Parlour, you are not just accessing a beautiful studio -- you are working with someone who genuinely wants your experience to be extraordinary.

This space was built for you. And Kristie will make sure it feels that way every single time.
