Photography
that tells Your Story
Let’s capture the seasons of life
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 Southeast Louisiana, photographer Susie Bourgeois brings more than 20 years of experience, a genuine love for people, and a passion for creating images that tell your story.
Each photography experience is thoughtfully designed to capture more than a beautiful image. It’s about preserving the moments, connections, personalities, and little details that make your story uniquely yours.
Preserving the Moments That Matter Most
Life moves quickly. Children grow, families change, and the little moments we never want to forget somehow become the ones we wish we could see again.
I'm Susie Bourgeois, the photographer behind 4:10 Photography. After more than 20 years photographing families in the River Parishes, I'm excited to begin a new chapter doing what I love most—capturing genuine connections and preserving the moments that make your family yours.
Because the best photographs don't just show you a moment—they take you back to it.
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 locations 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.
Portrait Photography for Every Season of Life
Every person has a story.
Every family has a season worth remembering.
Whether you're celebrating a major milestone or simply want to freeze a moment in time, 4:10 Photography offers portrait sessions designed around you.

Family Photography
Don’t wait for the perfect moment to preserve your family’s story—capture it today. Life moves quickly, seasons change, and children grow, but the everyday moments you share are often the ones that become your most cherished memories.
I create timeless, beautiful artwork for your home that celebrates your family exactly as you are right now. From the little details and genuine connections to the laughter, and quiet moments in between, your story deserves to be remembered beautifully.
These photographs are more than images— it is artwork you’ll treasure today, pass down tomorrow, and your family can look back on for generations to come.

Children's Photography
It’s not just the birthdays we should celebrate, but all the beautiful moments in between.
The sleepy cuddles, the belly laughs, the little hands reaching for yours, and the carefree days of childhood—these are the moments that pass far too quickly and become the memories we hold closest to our hearts.
Photography gives us a way to slow time down and preserve the love, wonder, and joy of each season, so years from now, you can look back and feel it all over again -the love, the laughter, the sweetness, and the magic of this season of life.

Newborn Photography
The tiniest fingers, the cutest button nose, sleepy little yawns, and precious little toes—these are the details that make the newborn stage so unforgettable.
Newborns grow and change incredibly fast, and before you know it, those tiny features have transformed. That's why newborn photography is so meaningful. It preserves the fleeting moments and delicate details that pass by all too quickly.
Capturing these once-in-a-lifetime memories allows you to look back and remember just how small they once were. These are moments you'll treasure forever and memories you'll never regret preserving.
-
Engagement Photography
This is the beginning of your family's love story, and it's a season worth celebrating.
An engagement session is the perfect opportunity for you and your fiancé to slow down, enjoy this exciting chapter, and create beautiful memories together before the whirlwind of wedding planning begins. Once the dates are set, the details are finalized, and the guest lists start growing, it's easy to get caught up in everything that comes with preparing for your big day.
Your engagement session is all about the two of you—capturing your genuine connection, laughter, and excitement as you begin this new journey together.

Headshots & Personal Branding
Your headshot is often the first impression people have of you—so make it count. Whether you need a fresh, professional headshot for your website, business cards, LinkedIn, or social media profiles, a sorority application, or a modeling portfolio, we're here to help you put your best face forward.
Our headshot sessions are designed to capture more than just a great photo. We focus on showcasing your personality, while creating images that feel authentic to you.
From polished and professional to natural and approachable, we'll work together to create images you'll be proud to use whenever you need to make a lasting impression.

Pageant Photography
Here in the South, we love our festivals—and what is a great festival without a beautiful queen?
Your crown represents more than a title. Your portraits should capture your beauty, poise, confidence, and personality, creating images you’ll be proud to share throughout your reign and for years to come.
Don’t wait until it’s time to pass the crown. Make sure you have stunning portraits ready for business cards, parade signs, festival promotions, social media, program books, and commemorative keepsakes.
Whether you’re a newly crowned queen or preparing for your next big appearance, let’s create portraits that make you feel every bit as regal as the title you represent.
Your reign may have a season, but your portraits will last forever.
