Photography
that tells Your Story
A photography experience created just for you.
From senior milestones and growing families to newborns, children and professional headshots, 4:10 Photography creates beautiful, meaningful portraits that feel authentic to you.
Based in South Louisiana, photographer Susie Bourgeois brings more than 15 years of experience, a genuine love for people, and an eye for beautiful locations to every session. Each experience is thoughtfully designed to capture the moments, connections, and personality that make your story uniquely yours.
Your story deserves to be remembered.
Life moves quickly.
Children grow. Seniors graduate. Families change. Babies become toddlers, and before you know it, those little moments you thought you'd never forget become the moments you wish you could see again.
That's why I love photography.
I'm Susie Bourgeois, the photographer behind 4:10 Photography. After more than 15 years as the owner and photographer of Portraits by Susie in LaPlace, I'm so grateful to be beginning a new chapter doing what I've always loved—photographing people, celebrating families, and preserving the moments that matter most.
For me, photography has never been about simply taking a picture. It's about capturing the way your little one smiles when they look at you, the laughter shared between siblings, the pride on a parent's face, and all those little pieces of life that make your family yours.
At 4:10 Photography, we don't believe in rushed or one-size-fits-all sessions. We'll take our time finding the right location, the beautiful light, the perfect setting, and all those little details that make your photographs feel like you.
Because life here in the South is full of moments worth holding onto—family gathered close, children growing up way too fast, and memories made in the everyday moments we sometimes take for granted.
The best photographs aren't just beautiful.
They're the ones that bring you right back to a moment you never want to forget.
More Than a Photo Session
I believe your photography experience should be just as special as the photographs themselves.
From the moment we start planning, I'll help you think through the details—from planning your wardrobe, choosing a location and coordinating your session to finding beautiful backgrounds and making sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
You don't have to know how to pose.
And you definitely don't have to worry about getting everything "perfect."
I'll guide you through the process while leaving room for the natural smiles, laughter, connections and little moments that make your photographs feel authentic.
Relaxed.
Personal.
Never rushed.
Always intentional.
