Meet Susan
Listening first, then creating something beautiful.
My desire is to create meaningful images for you through my photography. Listening to your needs and wishes is very important to me, and together we can create beautiful images for your portrait, event or wedding.
My specialty is outdoor photography of children and families. Parents like the natural look of my portraits, and I'm good at making small children feel at ease. I'm flexible on hours, locations and special requests, and I work closely with you to produce the images you want.

A photograph is a treasure that lasts a lifetime. It's a way of capturing a special moment in time, whether it's a child's smile or a bride's tears.Susan Weiand
Reviews
Families come back year after year.
Susan directed us with warmth and humor in order to get our best selves for the camera. Our experience was so pleasant and fun and the pictures were beautiful.

She was really great with the younger kids and our dog... patient and quick and managed to get the shot even when they were not always the most cooperative.
Michelle and JeffLakewood, CO
Susan is multi talented and able to effectively shoot a rock concert one day and a wedding the next. I always know if Susan is on the job, I have nothing to worry about.

Sue has been photographing our family for several portraits over the past 24 years. She is friendly and funny. Keeps the kids entertained. Really knows her stuff.

The pictures turned out great, too! In fact the hardest part was to pick which pictures to get printed - there were so many that we love!
