If you would like to be placed on my cancellation list, just let me know by sending me an email to suzie@suzieseagraves.com. Thanks bunches!

Off to New Orleans

UPDATE: I saw and got some pics of Brad Pitt riding his bike thru the French Quarter yesterday!! We were doing a group shoot on St. Louis Street, right off of Bourbon Street, and he rode right past me!! Here's a preview. I was THAT close to him!

I will be out of town in the Big Easy from Sunday 10/05 thru Thursday 10/09 attending the awesome Image X Workshop. I will have to little to no email and voicemail access. I promise I will get back to you promptly upon my return, with lots of pics too! It's been years since I was in the French Quarter and I can't wait to go back and attend a workshop of some amazing photographers: Jessica Claire and Chenin Boutwell (two of my idols in the photography world). Here's a video promo about it below. Have a great week!

Holiday Mini-Sessions

I will be conducting 30-minute Holiday Mini Sessions for one day only, Saturday November 15th beginning at 9:00am. This is the only day to get in for custom portraits for the holidays as I am completely booked for the remainder of the year. These holiday mini sessions will be held in corporation with Daisy's Children's Boutique and shot at a location in historic downtown Winter Garden. You must book your appointment ahead of time, so please contact me at suzie@suzieseagraves.com to reserve your spot! Hope to see you there!

I also offer custom-designed holiday cards with images from your session. They are very elegant and one-of-a-kind, made by a press printer on card stock or fine linen paper. These come 25 to a pack including envelopes. They are available in either 5x7 flat postcard style or 5x7 traditional folded cards. Here are a few of my designs, but I have many more to choose from. Please inquire to see all my designs and to book your holiday sessions at suzie@suzieseagraves.com

Daisy's Child Model Search

Daisy's model search was a huge success yesterday! Thanks to all the parents and kids that were selected! I had a great time!! If you haven't been by Daisy's Boutique in Winter Garden, you MUST stop in! She has an awesome selection of gorgeous children's clothes (her Fall collection is what the kids are modeling and is to die for!) as well as eco-friendly toys. Click on this link or stop in at 103 South Main Street, Winter Garden and check it out. Here is a sneak peak of some of the shots from yesterday. Are these kids gorgeous or what?!??!

I am thrilled to be the photographer for a child model search at Daisy's Children's Boutique in Winter Garden. If you are interested in attending, please stop in to Daisy's shop and fill out the form BEFORE September 19th. Hope to see you all there!

LearnFest Workshop

UPDATE: I am back and what an amazing experience this has been! An awesome group of photographers from all over the world and I was so proud to be a part of it. Thank you to everyone that had a part in putting this on. It was extraordinary and something I won't soon forget. I made lots of new friends which made it even more memorable! Thanks everyone for an awesome week!

I will be out of the state in beautiful Bald Head Island, North Carolina from Monday, Sept. 22nd, through Friday, Sept. 26th. I will be attending the first-ever LearnFest workshop with four of the most amazing and talented child photographers in the country: Audrey Woolard; Tamara Lackey; Lena Hyde; and Laura Novak. I am truly honored to be in their presence. I hope to return fully refreshed and inspired to serve my client's needs that much better. I have never been to Bald Head Island before but it sounds amazing: no cars, you get there by ferry and get around by golf cart or bicycle. During my absence, I will not have access to email or voicemail. I promise to get back to everyone upon my return (with lots of photos!)

Playground Magazine Fall Issue

As you have seen on my Blog throughout the year, I am honored to be a part of a great new magazine here in Orlando, Playground Magazine. Their Fall issue just hit the streets and it is awesome! I was honored and thrilled to be named one of their 5-Star Family Photographers! Here are a few highlights of my work in the latest issue. You can go to their website and sign up for a subscription or a listing of vendors throughout Orlando that carry them. Go get a copy!

Cavichi

I had the honor and privilege of photographing some child models on Saturday for a brand new company called Cavichi. The incredible Jamee is launching this new company who make extraordinary and unbelievably beautiful nap mats for children. She is located in Atlanta and I am truly honored that I was chosen to be her photographer for her website and marketing materials. She enlisted the help of two of the most gorgeous kids, Yuliana and Nickolas, as our models. Just my luck, it had to rain during the entire shoot! We managed to get a few shots before the rain set in. We will be doing another session next month with the actual nap mats and the children, but until then here is a preview!

Artist of the Month

A local restaurant here in Orlando, Infusion Tea, has named me as their Artist of the Month for August! I'm so excited!! I finally get to exhibit my work for the public to see up close and personal. There will be many large Fine Art Canvas Wraps, metallic prints, metallic wraps, etc on display. This Saturday, August 2nd, I will be hosting their "Meet the Artist" event from 7pm to 9pm. Please feel free to drop by! They are located at 1600 Edgewater Drive in College Park. If you are unable to make it Saturday night, my work will be on display the whole month of August, so please feel free to stop in and take a look.

Kids Town

As a contributing photographer for the new and oh-so awesome, Playground Magazine, I was asked to do some photos of Kids Town at the Orlando Science Center. I had never been there before going for this assignment and let me say just how cool this place is for kids! Information about the Orlando Science Center can be found by clicking here.

The newest issue, featuring hip stuff for Dads, hit the streets yesterday. Make sure you grab a copy! Here is a preview of my spread on Kids Town:
