CENLA PHOTOGRAPHY, LLC -
Nominated for the
International Photographer of the Year Award
for 2008!
If you're looking for professional photos at prices to fit any budget - you've come to the right place! Cenla Photography, LLC, owned and operated by Steve and Kathy Mathews of Pineville, LA, is a Christian-based business that takes pride in their work and always puts their clients first. They custom fit each package to their client's needs. Take a look at some of their photo galleries and we're sure you'll agree. (Some of the older photos have been moved to an external hard drive for safe-keeping.) Your photos are saved for at least 5 years, so should you ever need reprints, they will have them!
Cenla Photography travels throughout the state of Louisiana providing outstanding images to their clients and is currently for hire for all sporting events (including team and individual photos), family and children portraits, weddings, reunions, parties, commercial or corporate photos, and other "event" type photography.
AWARDS WON, EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE:
Cenla Photography's main photographer, Steve Mathews, has been a practicing photographer for over 24 years. He has taken numerous courses in photography from Louisiana State University in Alexandria, Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, and the Nikon School Of Photography in Houston, Texas. Steve is currently a member of the SPAA and the PPA.
Cenla Photography specializes in several areas of photography, such as team and individual sports photos, as well as action shots of the players. They also enjoy shooting family portraits, photos of children, other "event" type photography, and let's definitely not forget about the weddings!
Steve had his first photograph published in 1998, which was in an international magazine (that photo is still being published to this day). Since then he has won numerous awards for his excellence in photography and just last year he was nominated for the 2008 International Photographer of the Year Award! For this nomination he received a gorgeous crystal trophy and wood-grain plaque. He was also featured in the Alexandria Daily Town Talk Newspaper on May 25th, 2008 regarding this nomination. The Town Talk ran a 3/4 page full color article on his outstanding and rare achievement titled "A One In A Million Shot". He has also recently had photos published in a newspaper in Florida. Steve has had several of his photos on display at the Alexandria Museum of Art (one still remains today) and numerous photos published in various national and international magazines, hard-bound books, and coffee-table anthologies. He has received many "Editor's Choice" awards for his photos and is currently in talks with a national producer of post cards and related items regarding having several of his amazing images put on post cards for distribution throughout the United States.
Some of Steve's previous client's include the Federal Government at Camp Beauregard, Alexandria Mayor Jacques Roy, Dixie World Series Softball, USFA Softball, USSSA Baseball, Grant Youth Basketball Association, Doctors Badeaux and Warshaw, Christus Cabrini Surgery Center, United States Dept of Agriculture, Louisiana Dept. of Wildlife and Fisheries, South Grant Elementary School, Dry Prong Jr. High School, Philadelphia Baptist Church, and many more.
Cenla Photography strives to build a long-lasting working relationship with their clients. Steve and Kathy are very patient and do an excellent job with children of all ages. They take their time and make sure they get just the right shots. And don't worry, you'll have plenty of pictures to look through when they are finished.
They don't beleeve in selling anything that they wouldn't proudly display on their own walls themselves! "Cenla Photography is one of the most credible, honest, and reliable photography services you will find!"
Please note that Cenla Photography does NOT use an indoor studio. It seems that many people are getting away from the indoor "portrait" scene with "not so real" backgrounds. Steve and Kathy believe in using the beautiful outdoors with the God given sunshine and real authentic backgrounds. They feel that photos such as these tend to look more "realistic" because well, they are! "The pictures just have that special feel to them", says one client. So far all of their clients agree and have loved the idea and their photos. (In the cases where they must take photos indoors they use backdrops and professional lighting as needed).
Regarding the photo site, they let YOU choose. It could be your own back yard, a playground, the zoo, a lake, just about anywhere you can think of. If you don't have a place in mind, they have several beautiful spots that they use on a regular basis that they would be happy to suggest.
SO.........
If you are in need of a dedicated and experienced photographer who is willing to go the extra mile for YOU, please give Cenla Photography a call today. They will be happy to speak with you about your individual photography needs, and help you build the package that is right for YOU!
