I'm Susannah

...a Colorado-based photographer and mom who believes Life's fleeting moments deserved to be remembered and that photographs let us return to the beauty of today, long after it has passed.

Luxury Newborn, FAMILY, and Senior
 Photographer in Colorado

I create timeless, natural portraits of families, newborns, and seniors across Denver, Boulder, and Northern Colorado. With a warm, friendly approach and fine-art quality, my photography combines authentic emotion with a  luxury experience that is designed to be effortless.

My Story

My love for photography started early — with a plastic blue Fisher Price 110 film camera in the 80s and a lineup of Cabbage Patch kids as my first “clients.” By 2006, I had officially launched my photography business, turning that childhood joy into a lifelong career.

Since then, I’ve photographed hundreds of families, newborns, seniors, and weddings across Colorado and beyond — from Boulder and Denver to the foothills, from Oregon to New York and Maryland. With a background in art (BFA) and even preschool teaching, I bring both creativity and patience to every session. Whether it’s a shy toddler, a reluctant teen, or a partner who would rather be anywhere else, I know how to make the experience fun, relaxed, and real.






Things I Iove include float trips on rivers, running, mountain lions (not while running), live Phish shows, the band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, vinyl records, Hamilton the musical, lightning bugs, CSA farm shares, and watching my children move through light. I also love Maryland, my home state. Give me blue crabs, Natty Bohs, and O’s games please. St. John USVI is my favorite spot in the world, and I also love Vermont, Utah, New York, Scotland, India…and pretty much every place I go.

In 2018, I participated in Longmont Studio Tours, displaying photographs and wax paintings to the general public. Before that, I actually majored in art in college!

The Experience: Colorado Family and Newborn Photography

Step behind the scenes and see how I approach each session with intention, warmth, and care. My goal is to create a relaxed atmosphere where real moments unfold and translate into timeless, heirloom images.

A Few Things I Believe

You don’t need to change before being photographed.

Your family loves you exactly as you are.

A Few Things I Believe

Chaos is Part of the Story.

Giggles, squiggles, and wild energy are what make your family’s portraits authentic.

A Few Things I Believe

EVERY STAGE IS WORTH REMEMBERING.

These days may feel ordinary, yet they become the memories that matter most.
