Well hello friends! This is not Susan typing this post. This IS in fact her husband, Josh. I’ve highjacked the blog for today, so you’ll have to excuse any grammar fails that on any other ordinary day Susan would have caught. But here’s the thing – this isn’t an ordinary day, it’s Susan’s birthday! Susan […]

Seniors are always so vibrant & full of life!  It’s an exciting time in their lives and it’s fun to have that shine through in pictures.  I loved incorporating Brandon’s favorite things into his session at Buckroe Beach.  We started out with some typical senior portraits, then moved to his car, then his cap & […]

Have I ever told you about the biggest uncool surprise of my wedding?  It wasn’t when I coughed uncontrollably in the middle of my vows to the point that someone had to bring me a cup of water.  Nope.  That wasn’t it. It also wasn’t when we realized we forgot to tell the DJ our […]

It’s been exactly 10 years since I walked through the mall and met a cute stranger named Josh Fowler. My friend ended up giving him my number & that night as we were eating dinner, my friend said, “Oh Susan, don’t worry. He’ll call, you guys will fall in love & get married & have […]

Hi there!  I get it.  You’re a mom who appreciates great photography.  But dangit, it’s expensive to hire a professional photographer to follow you around all day, every day to catch wonderful candid shots of your kids! This class is for you. Or maybe you don’t have kids, but you still want to know how […]

When we first moved to Virginia 3 years ago I started searching out new photographer friends.  It’s great to have others in the industry to talk shop with, and Sarah Halstead was the first that I really got to know.  We hit it off well & she was going to do some Trash the Dress […]

Being the resident photographer among my friends means I get to design invitations & take pictures of gorgeous parties they put together!  Let me tell you, designing invitations is not my strong point, but it’s fun to play around with.  I still have a lot to learn in that area– mad props to those who […]

Sometimes all you wants is a few cute pictures of your family, and a few times during the year I offer mini-sessions for just this reason! If you don’t have kids, or your kids are old enough to follow directions well in pictures, you can get quite a bit done in a 15 minute mini […]

I will be the first to tell you I am not a newborn photographer.  I’ve dabbled in it over the years, but I’ve found that it’s just not my niche.  If you’re looking for an amazing newborn photographer in the Hampton Roads area, I highly suggest Barb Spencer!  She took photos of my daughter as […]

Often families will come to me to take pictures as a gift to a family member– usually the parents or grandparents!  This family chose a mini-session as the perfect way to get a few quick shots with the kids.  Just enough to have some precious pictures to gift mom & dad! Need a mini-session as […]
