About L. Stephanie Smith
After 50+ trips around the sun, I've learned a thing or two:
- Age is just a number. You're only as old as you feel. For the record, 50+ is the new 36. I mean, honestly. I was 50 years old in this portrait. Do I look like a 50-year old?!
- Having nothing does not make you a nothing. You're important to at least one person: You! You have yourself, and that's better than having "things".
and
- "You're so used to your own features that you have no idea how beautiful you are to someone else." That's one of my top ten favorite quotes, because it's true. The people who love you don't see imperfections. They see Love. Who looks like Love to you?
When something is important to us, we find ways to make it permanent...to preserve it...to pass it on as a legacy. Think about that for a moment. Art, literature, portraits....these are all ways of existing beyond our lifetime. Why? Because we're important...we exist...we're real and worthy of celebrating.
I invite you to enjoy a one-on-one portrait experience with me...to feel what it's like to be the focus of attention...to be photographed like the work of art that you are.
Treat yourself and your loved ones to portraits that you will cherish and proudly display in your home.
Together, we'll create a portrait legacy that will last longer than a lifetime.
For you. For them. Forever.
I'm an award-winning, contemporary portrait artist based in Quitman, GA. I fell in love with photography in a successful bid to avoid high school Trigonometry. I founded L. S. Smith Photography, LLC in 2015, and opened my current studio location in 2018.
