I found out about Susan through a recommendation from another bride on liweddings.com. I am so…read morehappy I went with her instead of one of the other more mentioned photographers (like the overpriced Jenerations!)
I did a boudoir shoot for my fiance recently as a wedding gift. The moment I met Susan at her studio, I knew I wanted to book her. She has the most amazing personality. She is down to earth, friendly, and sweet.
I loved her right off the bat - which is super important when you're about to be almost naked in front of someone!
First off, the fact that she has a studio was super attractive to me. So many boudoir photographers have to either shoot you in your house, or you have to rent a hotel room. I live with my fiance, so I could not have a photographer traipsing through my apartment, and a nice hotel (nice enough to appear in pictures at least) can be expensive! Her studio is a large and beautiful place. She has vintage pieces of furniture, vanities, beds, sofas, different lights, and the most adorable changing area.
In the changing area, she has some props, shoes, and outfits, if you need something extra.
Throughout the shoot Susan is encouraging and directing you. She plays whatever kind of music you like, and she actually gets into the poses for you. She will do anything to get the perfect shot - there were times she was on the ground, on a ladder, she was like spider woman!!
The shoot went amazing!!! I cannot state emphatically enough how fantastic she is. She actually left the studio while the make up artist she commissioned for me did my hair and make up, and brought back water and fruit.
I had a marathon shoot, and she never complained and just continued to be cheerful and encouraging throughout the entire process.
We reviewed my photos via internet and phone, and it was quick and simple.
I had such a wonderful time that I can definitely see using her for family photography (in the not so distant future, lol!), and I'm recommending her to all of my friends.
This was definitely my longest "good review", but definitely well deserved, use Susan for boudoir, family, and child photography. She is worth every cent :-)
