Family and Children Photography

Many children and adults react better when they are photographed in familiar surroundings like their own backyard or a favorite park. By coming to where you are, Susan eliminates the anxiety of going to an unfamiliar place or unfriendly studio. This results in a more relaxed atmosphere for everyone during the photo experience.

By meeting and talking with you beforehand, she gets to know you better. This also gives her an opportunity to meet your children which she finds that it helps them to relate to her on the day of the photo session.

She has years of experience photographing small children and she can often develop a rapport with them very quickly, making them relax and feel at ease in front of the camera. Her natural candid style is a favorite with the parents of many kids she’s photographed. In this way, she is able to reflect your child’s true personality in the portrait.

Some photographers photograph children because they have to and they don’t really like working with them. Susan photographs children because she loves to! And it shows.  Susan loves working with people and especially loves to photograph children!

Susan also offers maternity and pregnancy photos, done in the privacy of your home or other location of your choice. Sensitive and personal, these portraits reflect the joy of impending motherhood.
