A client story
“Masked and distanced, Sue navigated the whole affair artfully, with no hint of anything out of the ordinary. It was a remarkable feat.”

In 2020, Bill A's grandson's bar mitzvah became a "Zoom Mitzvah." Susan was the one person allowed in to photograph it, and her photo now hangs beside four generations of family bar mitzvah portraits.

Music & festivals

A rock photographer at heart.

Susan is a well-known concert photographer in the Deadhead and jamband communities, and plenty of her clients first found her through her music photography. The same eye for the moment comes to your event.
