My sisters and I hired Suzy Q Photography to travel to our location and do a full photo shoot with our immediate family and extended family (about 20 people: 5 families ranging in age from 9 to 88 years old). It was a 40th anniversary present for our parents that was so memorable and fun! Sara, the owner and photographer, was amazing. She came with ideas, props, and help! Throughout the session, Sara was able to capture the personalities of each person through all the various poses and groupings, which if anyone has ever tried to photograph families - this can be a challenge. She was very reasonably priced and well worth it. Once we finished the shoot, she posted a "sneak peak" of our photos on her Facebook page for us to see and had the photos edited quicker than I ever thought. Her specialty is working with smaller shoots (babies, children, smaller families), but she did a really great job with a very large group. We did a few different poses with the large group, some that were far away on a beautiful stone bridge; one closer up; one where a few of us were behind various trees and peaking around; and one where each family was "clumped" together, but with a few feet between the next grouping. Very creative, different, and all of them turned out so good. We also did photos with individual families and people. I have been to her personal studio before prior to hiring her and she has some amazing options for back drops, props, and even has great outdoor surroundings if you did a session at her studio. Sara is very thoughtful and patient during her sessions. She takes your needs and wants to heart and is willing to try new things. We had a sense of what groupings we wanted to have photographed, which was helpful for such a big group and all of this was decided upon prior to the session - for costs purposes as well. I would highly recommend working with her and would hire her again any second of the day! I also know she has had a couple photographs published, which is pretty cool as well. read more
