Hiiii! My name is Lenise Steadman, but you can call me Niecy. We're cool now. It's fine 😊.
I'm a Shreveport native. A Ratchet City Lifer, if you will. After graduating from C. E. Byrd in 2004, I attended Louisiana Tech where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (2008) and then a Master of Arts in Counseling and Guidance. I spent the next 14 years being very proud that I had almost consistently held jobs in my area of academic expertise. DCFS, in-patient and outpatient mental health and school counseling. Thank goodness, I managed to be decent in a field that I chose when my brain was still cooking.
I was decent, good, maybe outstanding in some (very rare) instances. I however, wasn't happy or fulfilled. Summer 2023, I purchased my first stand alone camera in 15 years. It would be nearly 6 months before I really handled it for more than a couple minutes. Can't suck at something if you never do it. On December 30, 2023, I played photographer and assisted a friend with completing a project. A lot of people would say, “that was the day that everything changed” or “everything just clicked.” I'd say it's the day I changed. It was then that I realized that so many of my most joyous and proud cameras were ones where I was behind a lens.
I know a 1 hour photo hated to see me coming.
