Susie’s Bio
Susie grew up in her family’s photography business in Pueblo, Colorado, working at her father’s side from the age of 12. She answered the phone, filed orders, and stood on a box to help customers at the counter. When Susie was 16, her father gave her the first camera and she gradually became more involved in the photo-taking process in the studio.
Her family went through some hard times starting in 1988, when her father was in an accident that left him a quadriplegic. Susie took over running the family studio, and then in 1990 her mother was diagnosed with cancer and five months later, she was gone. The following year her father died, and she will always be grateful for the outpouring of support from the Pueblo community. Susie purchased the studio and ran it for 9 more years, upholding her father’s standards of quality prints and customer satisfaction.
In 2000, Susie visited Sarasota while on vacation, and fell in love with it. Selling the Colorado studio, she bought a house here and has worked freelance and from her home studio.
Susie has always used one of the top labs in the country and pride herself on producing high quality, beautiful prints that her clients are proud to display and share. These days, many people are able to take nice looking photos using their phones or point and shoot cameras, and that’s fine for sharing on Facebook or in emails. But if you want to have a beautifully printed portrait to frame and hang in your home, or to give as a gift; a photo that will be passed down for generations, Susie is just hanging out here in paradise, waiting for you to call or email her.
