Quotes from her website:
"I have always believed that photographers see the world through different eyes and then capture it in photos so the rest of the world can see. This is why I do what I do and this is why I love it."
"To most people I just look like a mom with a camera and when it comes right down to it, I am! My husband surprised me last September of 2008 with my first DSLR and I have rarely been seen without it since."
"My life has changed a lot since finding my passion for photography. I have met amazing people and made friendships that will last forever."
A word from another photographer. (me)
I'm proud to say that I'm one of those friendships she speaks of.
We met in October of 2008 when I had seen a couple of her pictures from a photowalking event and said to myself
this girl is one of the professional photographers that comes to photowalks as opposed to the many hobbiests.
At the next event I told her how great her pictures were and she said she had only owned a camera for a month.
She was persistent in asking questions and getting advice.
Soon after I offered to do a short photography workshop and she went to several lightroom workshops.
It would be a privelege to say I taught her... but she has gone far far beyond what I offered
and in truth she would have learned it without anyone's help, that's how dedicated she is... and good!
I remember when Suzanne and our friend Steph weren't interested in weddings at all.
I invited them to a couple of my weddings to assist and later I started to refer them.
Now to hear Suzanne say:
"There is nothing I haven't tried shooting but my favs are weddings and kids. Weddings because of the high energy and love I feel and kids because of the equally high energy and attitude I get!"
It's nice to hear you're great at what you love to do, which she is.
But I think it's even better to know you're a wonderful person, which she is.
This is a clip showing how fun Suzanne is.

Most recently Suzanne is known as the "Pretty Girl" that Scott Bourne picked to receive a prize at an event just because he could.
Of course I'm gonna end with the pictures of the best looking model. haha

Wow, what can I say? Scott, I am so flattered by the things you said. It means even more coming from you who is not only my teacher, but my friend. Thank you for everything. Yes, I would have learned everything on my own eventually, but you sped up the process considerably!!
Oh, and Jay, thanks for the comment!!!

Suzanne you amaze me all the time with your incredible talent! And thank you for taking your time to teach me so many things!! I know I could never thank you enough for all you have done for me! Keep taking those gorgeous pictures that truly inspire us all!
