Had a great time photographing Michael and Lindsay, for their engagement portraits!  She wanted to include her FAVORITE bike in the portraits....and it was a great little addition to their session!  Love their little dog, Sophia!  So, glad that she came to the session and allowed me to include her in a few shots.  Hope you all enjoy and I'm so looking forward to the upcoming wedding!!!!

Jacquelyn Sr. 2012

Let me take a moment to introduce Jacquelyn from P.H.S. Sr. 2012   She is one the Susan Stevison Photography models 2011-2012  We had a great time planning out and photographing her a few weeks ago for her Senior portraits!  She brought her boyfriend along for a few shots.  She's so photogenic and versatile!  She sported a home coming dress, home coming court suite and hat, camouflage and her sweet puppy. 

Congratulation on you upcoming H.S. graduation Jacquelyn!  I hope you love you portraits as much as I do :)   ENJOY! 

Family Portraits with the Sjobergs

Meet the Sjoberg family!  David, Carly, Haley and Max!  What a blast!  Stay tuned in the upcoming couple of weeks, when I post more images from Carly's senior portraits!  She's a Susan Stevison Photography model.  I met with David and his family a while back and we discussed Carly's senior portraits, but also the need for a family photo from their home.  It had been a while since they had a family portrait.  We get so busy in school, work and extracurricular activities that our time flies by and before you know it....kids are GRADUATING from high school!  I can relate!  So, there is no better time than the present and not to mention the HOLIDAYS!  We ended up creating a family portrait for the home, a collage of the kids, some heirloom photographs for the family album and Christmas cards.  What a great idea.  Now everyone in their family will have an updated portrait, holiday greeting card and some pictures for the home and the family album.    Thanks Sjobers!  I really enjoyed getting to know each of you.  I look forward to finishing up Carly's senior portraits and creating a great memory of this special time in her life!
Enjoy Sjobergs!

Dametria & Roderick are married!

I've just returned from a wonderful wedding in Alexandria.  I was fortunate to be invited to photograph Dametria and Roderick's engagement and Dametria's bridal portraits within the last month...and today was their wedding!  Dametria was one of the most beautiful brides I have ever photographed!  She was stunning to say the least.  One of my favorite wedding photo opportunities during the ceremony is when the groom sees his bride walking down the aisle!  But, Roderick held it together, looked down, and then back up with a smile....I got it!  I'm so fortunate to be able to photograph, but photograph moving events...that allow me to reflect on my life and experiences...and appreciate them even more.  Thank you Roderick and Dametria!  I've posted a few pictures from their engagement and her bridal portrait session.  Really some of my favorites.  I'll post a few images from the wedding as I process them.  I'm downloading them as I type!  stay tuned. 
Enjoy :)

The Williams family portrait session

I had a great time photographing Jaime and her family!  It was a tad bit hot, and they hung in there!  Thanks BRAD!  But, you wouldn't know it if I did not tell you?  The kids had a great time, and I feel that we captured some great images of her family!  We put together a giclee - wrapped canvas collection for her to display on a large wall in her home.   I met Jaime a couple years ago!  She has an awesome cake business and has branched into making a variety of sweet treats! {The Cake Barn} She's truly artistic, creative and a genuine person!  I absolutely love her kiddo's too!  I brought my 9 year old Madeline to the portrait session consult, at the farm, and she didn't want to leave!  We (my family) now has the bug....we are looking for a home about 15 minutes from town with some property.  What a blast and an adorable family!  Thanks Jaimie for allowing me to hang out with you all...I appreciate you so very much!  Hope you enjoy the pics!

John Thomas

I had a great time getting to know and photographing John Thomas from West Monroe High School a few weeks ago!  He's a HS Sr. looking forward to attending La Tech after graduation.  His family came along for the senior portrait session, and we were able to grab some fun shots of the family too.  Really fun!!!  His sister Ann can't wait till next year when she gets to take her pictures with me!  She's adorable....I can't wait either.  John Thomas loves his truck and playing guitar!  He's an outdoors kindof' guy too.  We really captured his personality and put him at ease!  His grandfather came by too!  He used to work in the store downstairs from my studio when he was in college at Louisiana College !  I love my photography studio loft, but more than that...I love the stories that I hear everyday.  Thanks y'all!  I really love my spot here on Main St., and Pineville!  Thanks to the Bryant family I have a lot of information to pass on as I speak with my customers and neighbors here at the studio!  Keep up the good work John and I hope you are pleased!  Looking forward to hearing about your success and getting to photograph Ann Marie next year :)  
Enjoy!

September Promotion...only a few spots left!

Anistin putting on a pretty face

Anistin is putting on a pretty face. 

I was invited to photograph Anistin a few weeks ago, and it took us a little time to get acquainted and used to each other.  We should have started off w/ the make-up session at the vanity first.  But, all in due time!  I've posted a cute album to the studio fan face book page and you can view it by clicking on the above enclosure link....while there like us and keep up w/ special events coming up in the next few months. 

Thanks again, Alisa and Glenn for allowing me to photograph Anistin and also thanks to Lindsay Guillory for recommending me to the Williams' family!  I look forward to working with you all soon!

August in a Nutshell

I just wanted to report that we are still here...just a bit lackadaisical. But, that happens when summer was a blast and it passed too quickly!

For starters, the beginning of August started with the state convention in New Orleans, for the Professional Photographers of Louisiana. I joined many friends for a star-studded evening, print competition, and education from out of state speakers. Then off to Missouri for a short vacation with my family, and back to Louisiana to get my daughter and husband ready for the 2012 school year.  I also was asked by the American Cancer Society to photograph their Boots & Bow ties Fundraiser and I donated a portrait session fee and wall portrait to their live auction!  Looking forward to that....I'll post a few pics from their event here in the next day or so.

In the next couple of weeks, we will announce some early family portrait session specials....for the Mom's that are less procrastinating than ME! We will get the family portraits done and cards ready before you can say St. Nick!

Our H.S. Sr. portrait sessions began about a month ago....having seniors coming in from Monroe, at that. We will be looking for a few select Sr. reps this year.

Santa Portraits will be here in November. LSU Santa will arrive on Friday, November 18th and he will stay over until November 19th. with his traditional theme. This will be our third year! We will offer some extra special packages for this promotion and 100% of your session fee will be donated to the St. Jude Organization!!!!

Last week I had a great time getting to know Meredith better. Her father inquired about having a formal portrait of her taken, before she moves on to another chapter in her life, college. I could have photographed her for hours at their home! I've posted a slide show and some individual images from her session to this blog and
Face book. If you aren't a friend of the studio....become one and stay in touch with us and see who visits us. Good luck at college Meredith and thanks for allowing me to photograph you!

Hadley turns 1

I have had a blast getting to know Hadley!  She's 1 and I've been so lucky to document her through the ups and downs of 1 year.  We got to visit w/ Santa, hang w/ her family and sister, & go to the park....She's so cute and doesn't let anyone (especially her sister) push her around!  This little one will be just fine! 
Thanks Amanda and Brandon! 
Enjoy :)
