I’m Ivy B French, owner of Ivy B Photography and RAW thestudio., located in Shreveport, LA. Those beautiful humans in the photo above are my people and keep me on my toes and laughing every single day. They are my joy and my heart and why I do all that I do!

In 2015, my hubs, Clay, and I adopted our beautiful daughter, Andy Kate, and it was at this time that we very quickly realized that an in home studio…with a baby, although a very cute, snuggly, fun, hysterical, gorgeous baby girl, was not super conducive to working out of the home when I had clients stopping by at any and all times of the business day. So, a studio was leased thanks to the support of my husband when I was terrified of taking that next leap of faith. I began to let other photographer friends use the studio as they needed it but as it became a need for more of photographer friends, we began renting the space for very little. Over the next 2 years, as the need for a rented studio space grew in our area, RAW began to get more traction, slowly but surely, by word of mouth and, in 2022, we upgraded to our larger studio that we are in now because we had officially outgrown our smaller studio that we’d started in! I never would have thought this inadvertently started business would have grown to this size but I am so thankful for this business and how it’s growing! It’s been cool to watch and I can’t wait to see how it continues to grow! The joy of also getting to watch others art come to life here and how they use the space in a different way is pure magic and a gift I never imagined gaining in this experience! We can’t wait to see what you create here at RAW be it art, music, video, or a magical event! Welcome friends!
