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.
