About Louise Stidham Photography

Hi there! Welcome to my official blog! Louise Stidham Photography started because of my interest in capturing everything that is special in life.

A simple smile, a relationship blooming, a wedding ceremony and reception, a pregnancy, a child being born, the laughter and tears of holding that tinny little person for the first time, the family photos, birthday parties and celebrations, my life, your life, anything that matters to us. All of those things keep me inspired to create works of art that you will enjoy for years to come.

I believe that {Life is Sweet} and I enjoy being able to go through my photographs and experience my best moments over and over again.

Enjoy your visit to my blog! While here, leave me some comments in your favorite images. If you want to book a session, please contact me. My information is in the About tab. Come back often to view my recent work and stay in touch!

Talk to you soon!

Louise :)

Lauren and Aaron’s Kona Grill Photoshoot | 202 Magazine Featured Couple

Saturday, February 11th, 2012

This was yet another super sweet couple’s photoshoot I did for the 202 Magazine February featured date stories. I loved that we had the chance to do something different. It is not everyday I get to photograph couples at a sushi restaurant. What a great experience we’ve had! Many thanks to Kona Grill for being so welcoming to us and for preparing some fabulous dishes for our session. Everything was so perfect – AMAZING FOOD – and of course, we cannot go wrong when we have this combination: sushi + great looking couple in Love = fun & fabulous photos. Seriously, if you haven’t read Lauren and Aaron’s story, you can click this link to read it. Why, not? Love is in the air, embrace it! For them, “Wonderful Tonight” Eric Clapton, inspired by my playlist of oldies but always goodies type of songs. Enjoy.

“We go to a party

And everyone turns to see

This beautiful lady

That’s walking around with me”

“I feel wonderful

Because I see the love light in your eyes”

“And the wonder of it all

Is that you just don’t realize 

How much I love you”

“As I turn out the light,

I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight”

I still have one more couple to feature. So, come back for more. If you want to book an engagement or couple’s celebration session, please email: info@louisestidham.com or just visit my website “contact” section: www.louisestidham.com .

XOXO

Amanda and Ryan | 202 Magazine Featured Couple

Monday, February 6th, 2012

I couldn’t wait to finish my Economics Homework to be able to come here to the bloggie. For those of you that don’t know yet, I am on what I call my almost last, yes almost LAST class on a MBA program. After this class, I just have to take my capstone course and I will be done with graduate school! I am so excited and trying to stay focused as I approach the finish line so that I can graduate with honors. Well, but let’s move on to the real reason why I am here today.

If you have been following my blog, you know that this month I am determined to share the love with fabulous photo essays of the couples I had the pleasure to photograph for the 202 Magazine’s February issue. To read more about them, you can just click here. So let’s take a look at Amanda and Ryan’s movie theater date photo shoot. And, I do have a theme song for them, this time, “Lucky” by Jason Mraz. Enjoy!

“I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard”

“I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been”

Tomorrow, we will have one more couple. Come back again! :)

XOXO

Claire and Ryan | 202 Magazine Featured Couple

Saturday, February 4th, 2012

Claire and Ryan’s story is so touching and real proof that sometimes we look for love everywhere while it has been right in front of us. If you haven’t read about them in the 202 Magazine, please take a moment to check out all of the sweet details of their love connection. My favorite part about meeting them was being able to witness the strong bond this couple has and how much fun they have together.

With the information I had about them provided by Editor-Sondra Bar- 202 Magazine, my goal in designing the concept for their photo shoot was to capture that candid connection in more structure way, incorporating some vintage elements and of course, the “old” photograph of them hugging each other. Since I’ve had Lady Antebellum’s songs playing as I typed this, I felt like “Just a Kiss” would make a perfect background song for these pictures.

“Lyin’ here with you so close to me
It’s hard to fight these feelings when it feels so hard to breathe
Caught up in this moment
Caught up in your smile”

“I’ve never opened up to anyone
So hard to hold back when I’m holding you in my arms
We don’t need to rush this
Let’s just take it slow”

“Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I’ve been waiting for my whole life“

“I know that if we give this a little time
It’ll only bring us closer to the love we wanna find
It’s never felt so real, no it’s never felt so right”

“Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
No I don’t want to mess this thing up”

“I know it’s time to leave, but you’ll be in my dreams tonight”

So glad I’ve met this beautiful couple, Ryan and Claire. Wishing them many, many years of happiness together. Tomorrow I will be featuring yet another couple, Ryan and Amanda because we need to continue sharing the LOVE this month, so come back for more.

I hope you are finding good inspiration in these sessions for an annual couples photo shoot or engagement session. If you would like, feel free to comment, share or pin it but as a reminder, my logo and full credits must always be given as well as a link back to my blog. See you tomorrow!

XOXO
