Susie is so fun to work with! She makes you feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, even for those who feel uncomfortable in front of the camera (isn't that most of us!?). She is low-pressure, yet at the same time does her work with excellence and professionalism. You can tell she knows what she's doing--both when she is taking the photos... and look, the outcome shows it too! She gave us the most dreamy family photos (and somehow made me not look like a sleep-deprived mom of a one month old and two year old)!

We LOVE Susie and her work! I had previously been the victim of terrible photography and my wedding pictures are proof of it! Since then, it has been extremely important to me to have great family pictures. We’ve had Susie take our maternity, newborn, and Christmas card pictures. She provides great direction on how to pose so we look the most flattering. She is able to keep my kids’ attentions and capture their personalities in her photography. Not only is she a great photographer, she’s quite the fashionista! She provided style tips and helped with the final outfit selection. She went above in beyond in helping this fashion challenged mama who lives in leggings and comfy tops.

My family has taken many family portraits over the years, and they are all beautiful and unique.  But some of my favorite photos of all time came from my maternity shoot with Susie.  We have a sentimental attachment to a cool nature spot near my home, and I wanted someone to capture my family in that spot before we moved out of state.  Before the shoot, Susie sent some very helpful tips for styling our shoot and preparing the kids mentally for the potentially daunting task of taking photos.  She arrived early to check out the site, and managed to capture the most beautiful photos of my family at the perfect time of day when the light is golden and glowy.

 

 As typically happens, my kids were becoming rambunctious and impatient near the end, but Susie was so great at keeping them focused and keeping it lighthearted and fun. 

 

I think the most impressive part of the shoot was Susie's ability to give direction in such a detailed, easy to understand way.  She has a wonderful sense of what positions will be most interesting on camera and the most flattering.  This is especially helpful for those who are camera shy and never quite know what to do with their limbs.
