Suzie Seagraves Photography – Orlando Child Photographer, Florida Child Photographer bio picture

Welcome to my Studio Journal!

I am an internationally recognized child portrait photographer based in Central Florida; however, I travel extensively nationally & internationally to serve my Clients. I specialize in on-location, lifestyle portraits of children and families. I am not your typical studio photographer as I forego the forced smiles and fake backdrops to capture children in their own environment to allow their true personalities to emerge. I absolutely LOVE to photograph children! It is my passion and I feel that it is an honor and privilege for me to capture precious memories at a time in their lives that will never come again.

My Studio Journal is more than just a Blog. It is a place where I showcase a few of my favorite images from my sessions, along with personal thoughts and photos from my life. You will find this a little more indepth and personal than my website with all the latest photos, news and happenings. It's more ME.

Thank you for stopping by! Please come back often and leave a comment when you do! :)

Abby | Orlando Child Model Photographer

I shoot a lot of children for modeling portfolios and this was my first time meeting and working with Abby. She was AMAZING!!! Like a seasoned pro! And how CUTE is she?! These are actually my favorite types of shoots because we get to change outfits and create different looks for their portfolios. Her outfits were so adorable!! I got so many great shots, these are just a few of my favorites. Thank you Abby SO much for doing such a great job!
