Photography is all about visual and emotional inspiration. I want to share with you the photographers that are constantly inspiring me. These are my favorite places to find inspiration when I need refueled!
fashion
- Steve Meisel https://www.vogue.com/contributor/steven-meisel One of the most powerful fashion photographers of all time, he’s been credited with “discovering” or nurturing the careers of many top models including Coco Rocha, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, and Lara Stone.
- Patrick Demarchelier http://demarchelier.com/
- Lindsay Adler https://www.lindsayadlerphotography.com/index In a world dominated by men photographers, Lindsay is a standout among her peers. Her use of bold color and graphic pizazz makes her a favorite of mine. She has tons of youtube videos explaining many of her techniques making her top notch in my book for sharing her knowledge with this industry. She inspires my senior portrait shoots all the time.
- Richard Avedon https://www.avedonfoundation.org/ Known for his fashion work and minimalistic portraits, Richard Avedon inspires me with his photographs of celebrities and politicians. He uses beautiful tones on the black and white scale I find mouth watering.
portraits
- Sue Bryce http://www.suebryce.com/ Sue inspires my portrait work of women, all ages and sizes. She’s providing an experience for her clients I drool over and the images are interwoven with a soulfulness and authenticity I am in awe of.
- Lisa Visser Weldon http://www.lisavisserfineart.co.uk/about-lisa#!/page/124677/home Lisa specializes in fine art portraits of children. She inspires me to shoot simplistically and from the heart because that’s exactly what her images make me feel like, heart full. I LOVE to photograph children because you never know what kind of expression they will be wearing or what they will say. Unlike Lisa, my images of children are more spontaneous, less planned, but when I want a cup of fresh perspective, I always google Lisa Visser Weldon and she never fails.
- Kristi Sutton Elias http://www.kristisuttonelias.com/ Kristi’s portraits are easily recognized by their distinctive, dramatic style and her strong use of a muted color palette. Her conceptual work always inspires me to think outside of the box. She is a master storyteller with images.
Hazard Senior, Myra Jo Davis . . . what can I say about Myra Jo? I’ve been taking her pictures since she was a baby. We knew her senior pictures had to be very special.

A mother’s own words about the planning and value of her portraits, told by Jennifer Whitaker. . .
“As soon as I found out I was pregnant I knew immediately I wanted to reveal the exciting news with a photo announcement!! I never thought twice about who I would ask. Being Suzanne’s babysitter and helping her raise her own children I have seen and watched her love for photography grow and flourish into the successful business it is today. Photos from film cameras, to watching prints be hung on the walls of her dream studio, I had always hoped that one day I would have a baby for her to photograph. We talked for years about when she would get to do a maternity shoot for me, and it was always a wish that I had!”
“So, when I found out I was pregnant I knew I was ready to start the journey with pictures. Suzanne was one of the first people I told I was pregnant and it was then that we began planning pictures..announcement pictures, maternity pictures, newborn, 6 months, one year, Christmas cards! I wanted to document it all and I knew she would be the best at doing it! I can’t say enough about how great our experience has been! I thought my dream of all the great pictures had came crashing down when Avery almost refused to look at a camera at age 6 months & 1 year!! Even though it was going to be a difficult task I knew Suzanne would find a way to capture her personality and hopefully a couple smiles, and…She always did!”
“Suzanne and the entire staff of Suzanne Deaton Photography went above and beyond just to get that perfect picture. Keith (Suzanne’s husband & five star assistant) was even found dancing and singing the baby shark song every time Avery came in for a session just to get a little extra smile.”
“At Suzanne Deaton photography, we experienced Suzanne’s creative and personal touch that we wouldn’t be able to find anywhere else. There’s something different, and something special about Suzanne’s photos of children…they are her specialty! Suzanne has created memories for us that will last a lifetime. I love adding new prints to my walls and documenting all of Avery’s little smiles and sweet expressions! We are looking forward to many many more years of Suzanne capturing all of Avery’s milestones and we will never have a love for any photographs like we have for the ones from Suzanne Deaton Photography.”
