Dream it.
“Susan is a GIFTED ARTIST and an AMAZING woman!!! We had an instant connection and she made me feel comfortable from the very start! As a woman in my late 40s this session made me feel Beautiful, Sexy & Empowered!!! Susan captured and interpreted my vision completely!! I am absolutely OBSESSED with my photos.”
transform it!
“I don’t even know where to begin with how great this experience was. As an anxious, self-conscious woman, there was no other way to describe this experience other than ‘transformative.’ I walked in, nervous and hesitant, but only after a few minutes of talking with Susan, it was like talking to my best friend of many years. She put me right at ease with her gentle and reassuring style. And after I started to let myself go and truly feel the entire experience, I completely stepped into my power - which has stayed with me long after the photoshoot (I am feeling more confident and more like myself again after years-long-battles with SSRIs!) I felt like a true hollywood glamour model (what I was aiming for) and man, do the photos show it! Susan knows exactly what to do, how to position you, and how to instruct to get every woman to highlight their absolute best qualities (personality, too!). Susan is more than a photographer, she is an absolute artist and I hope some day to do some even more creative art-inspired shoots with her! I love her, I love this studio, I love her work, this is a MUST DO!!!”
Worth it!
“This woman is a visionary! No, a photo GENIUS!!! I booked a shoot as a gift for my husband for our one year anniversary. At least, I “thought” it was for my husband. It turned out this shoot was something I needed to do for myself just as much as for him. And his reaction??? Oh boy, I don’t even know if I can write it in a public forum!! LOL. Let’s just say he was BLOWN AWAY!!! And not just with the photo content either. He loved everything about the book too, the leather wrap on the outside, the level of quality of the construction, and mostly how incredibly CLASSY and ELEGANT the photos came out. Don’t get me wrong…these were not for the faint of heart!! But they were taken SO professionally they look like they belong in a magazine. The lighting, posing, and editing can rival anything in Vogue. Seriously they are without a doubt my favorite photos of myself (and that is including my wedding photos!). I look at these photos and I feel like a g-damn rockstar. You get what you pay for and it is WORTH EVERY PENNY. Now that’s the finished product, but I want to talk a bit about the shoot, because I think that’s equally if not more important. Susan is perhaps one of the loveliest people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Talk about a judgment free zone!!! I walked in there so nervous (and I am NOT a shy person!) and left there like I could conquer the world. Susan has this innate ability to bring out all the best characteristics of yourself and it really shows in the photos. I always say the sexiest thing a woman can wear is confidence and Susan is able to bring out every ounce of it!! By the end of the shoot I was ROCKING it!! She is so patient and helps guide you through poses, she shows you photos as you go too which really helps so you can adjust your poses as need be. After I left I felt so silly for ever being nervous. This woman is a PRO!! Also I felt very comfortable knowing they thoroughly clean everything in between shoots!”
CAPTURE it.
“If you ever dreamed of having your own boudoir photo shoot then Susan is your girl!!! I came across Susan’s business page via a Google search, which bought me to her web page. As I went through her web page, I felt very comfortable as if I already knew who this person was. I searched for months for a photographer with a portfolio that was appealing to me. We immediately clicked once we spoke on the phone and I decided to book my shoot right then and there. Susan was very professional and so much fun to work with. I felt like a superstar the entire time. My shoot was during the pandemic and Susan was 100% compliant to all safety precautions. When I received the final album, it was very empowering to see myself like that. I highly recommend doing this at least once in your life. I cannot wait for my next shoot with Susan. Susan, thank you so much for capturing my beauty in such an eloquent way.”
enjoy it!
“Susan is my hero, if I could I would be there to shoot different pictures every day! She is so awesome, the most friendly and creative person! She made this whole experience comfortable and fun and I can’t wait to do more! 100% recommend!”
Celebrate it!
“There are so many things that I want to say about Susan, the experience, and the outcome. First of all, I had the idea to do a boudoir photo shoot for my husband’s 40th birthday. When I Googled, a bunch of different websites came up, but they all had a similar, not so nice look or at least a look I was not going for. They didn’t have what I was looking for until I found Susan’s website. I knew from that second that I had to use her. After stalking her website for a few weeks LOL I finally gained enough courage, ripped off the Band-Aid so to speak, and submitted my information. Susan called me back very promptly, and after two seconds of speaking with her, it was like we were friends for the longest time. She just has this way of making you feel so comfortable and relaxed. I was so nervous, I am super shy, I’m not someone who likes to be in front of the camera and I told her all of that and she assured me I would be fine and we would have the greatest time. She is truly one of a kind and someone that you just want to be friends with. Now the experience is one that I will never ever forget. I don’t know how I was standing there in lingerie in front of someone and it felt right and felt like so comfortable. We laughed, we had fun, it was one of my favorite days ever. Now, the outcome of that is more than I could ever have imagined. I literally cried when I saw my album because I really could not believe that it was me. The pictures are incredibly elegant, beautiful, the shadowing and everything were just done so beautifully. I truly could not be happier with the whole entire experience. Now the best part was my husband’s reaction. It was a surprise and I knew that he would never ever expect me to do something like this so when he saw it, he was in shock and in awe. And now he’s just completely obsessed with them. This may sound a little odd but I totally am too. I cannot thank Susan enough for this experience, it was incredible and I have the pictures to prove it. And 100% I would do this again and again and again. Susan, you truly are a wonderful person, a joy to work with, and for sure one of a kind. Thank you for making me feel and look so beautiful. I will never forget this feeling <3”

“I have to say thank you 1000x because flipping through the photo album brought back the emotional feelings I had when we were doing our review. I was overflowing with self-love and confidence, which is something I never felt before. You are doing the most magical work, you are capturing the beauty of women, and for people like me, helping harness the lioness within and allowing us to keep that energy forever! On a very personal note, I never saw the beauty in myself that others saw in me and I allowed men to treat me poorly, allowed my confidence to be shaken, and always felt like I wasn’t enough. When I started getting into a groove during the pandemic and really started to lie myself you captured it and brought my vision to life. Leaving your studio that day completely flipped a switch for me. I am full of self-love and confidence and I know it will never leave me. I will never go back to where I was because I have a constant reminder that reaffirms my self-worth. I will continue to live my best life and you were a huge part of that! I wish you the best in your life and hope that you can use my shoot to inspire women to see the beauty in themselves. Thank you thank you thank you and I hope we cross paths again!”
Heal it!
“I had seen Groupon ads during the holiday about boudoir photo shoots [from other photographers]. I bought a Groupon not knowing what this was all about. I started researching different photographers and their stories behind their work. I decided to leave an email for Susan because of everything that resonated with me. I had lost myself after my daughter passed away. I needed to find that woman that went away with her daughter. This is more about looks to me. It’s to tap into my inner beauty and light and love. I felt so empowered as a woman, a mother and the part of me that I lost. From the moment I spoke to Susan on the phone to talk about what the photo sessions are like, she calmed my nerves and reassured me. This was the best experience for me because I found more of myself that I had lost. These pictures represent strength, inner beauty and the growth in my life. I’m a survivor and Susan, you were placed in my life for a reason. We all go through trials and tribulations…it’s up to us to navigate the vessel. My advice to you ladies - DO IT! Stop putting yourselves last, ladies. Embrace all of your imperfections because that’s what makes you beautiful. Be you and make the appointment <3 P.S. I never used the Groupon. You can’t measure quality over quantity. Susan is an artist, so creative and talented. XOXO”
Conquer it!
“Susan is one of the sweetest and kindest people I ever met. She made me feel like I was the only person in the world and gave my session undivided attention for the day of my shoot. This was my first time doing something like this and Susan made me feel so comfortable. Within the first few minutes I had relaxed and was having a blast. The photos came out amazing, I cannot stop looking at them.”
