We are freelance photojournalists and the founding members of the Loose Affiliation of Misfit Shutterbugs. The mission of our ultra-exclusive organization is to find joy in everyday life—others’ and our own.
We are visual storytellers, skilled at looking for both the big picture and the small details that document the Gulf Coast community. When not photographing Mardi Gras, we provide editorial, commercial and wedding photography services to our loyal and discerning clients such as:
The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, National Parks Magazine, Preservation Magazine, Maxim, Le Point, EdWeek, Science Magazine, Alabama Journey, Mobile Bay Monthly, Coastal Living, Southern Living, Municipal Sewer and Water Magazine, Pumper Magazine, Portable Restroom Operator Monthly

Though Eleanor Inge Baker has never before attempted to pen a volume of this magnitude, what she lacks in experience she makes up for in enthusiasm. She made her debut in Mobile in 2001 as Lady Eleanor Jane Inge, wore bright red lipstick everywhere she went, and after that first season of Mardi Gras revelry, gained a new appreciation for the penitence of Ash Wednesday.
A lover of Mobile, Mardi Gras, family, and anyone with a story to tell, Eleanor finds joy writing about the lives of notable Mobilians for the Port City’s own ACCESS Magazine. Her work has also appeared in Mobile Bay Monthly, Mobile Press-Register, Lagniappe, and the Alabama Writers’ Forum. She graduated from Auburn University with a bachelor’s degree in English, and then earned her MFA in Writing from Spalding University in Louisville, Kentucky.
Eleanor lives in historic Oakleigh Garden District with her husband, Stephen, and two children, Buck (5) and Hallie Inge (3). Collaborating on this project with her friends, Meggan and Jeff, is one of the greatest honors she has received to date.
