a little bit about susan
I am a photographer based in Norfolk, Virginia, focusing on babies, children, and teens. I have a wonderful husband, Eric, and two incredible kids. I studied child development and child life in college, then worked in the field of child life with cancer patients. 2008, I picked up a camera, and here I am still. Gosh, I love this job!
I have always treasured my pictures and portraits of children, knowing they won’t be this little for long – sweet soft curls, pigtails, and braids, those big toothless grins, cute scrunchy noses, perfect little pouts and bouts of unbridled joy. The teenage years roll in, and your littles become grown(ish) - Tik-Tok, Xbox, tidal wave emotions; let’s throw in fancy dances, exhilarating sports, eye rolls, and driving permits. They are finding themselves, and it’s a journey. Be sure to document these moments, too; it’s all part of life. Let’s Celebrate It!
I love family dinners, fire-pits with friends, driving through the Montreat gate, Mexican food and margaritas, chocolate, and exercise, and I might be the U.S. Soccer WNT’s biggest fan. I am a master at grilled cheese, pancakes, and handing out popsicles. I’m pretty good at spinning a tire swing, too. I love kids, love being around them, and love listening to their tall tales and wild imaginations. Lucky me, I have found an art that allows me to be with kids, to be a kid!
