"She made the whole process effortless and enjoyable. My kids left saying they had so much fun!"

"To say that Susannah is excellent would be an understatement! We met Susannah in the evening and she arrived with waters and snacks for our whole family. She made the whole process effortless and enjoyable. My kids left saying they had so much fun! The whole experience was really wonderful. Then we got the pictures! I truly could not be happier. We will treasure these photos of our family forever!"

Hi, I am so glad you're here!

Minnesota family photographer with a calm and laidback approach to help you and your little ones feel comfortable in front of my camera.



I crave authenticity, thrive on emotional connection, and see life through a romanticized lens—especially when it comes to capturing the love and beautiful chaos of family life.


As a wife, mama, and Saint Cloud Minnesota photographer, I believe every moment with your family is a gift.


One mom recently shared how hesitant she was after past experiences with family photos, but as we worked together, she felt truly seen. With playful prompts, gentle posing, and a focus on connection, her family relaxed into the moment. By the end, they were in love with every image—and I want that for you, too.


Whether it’s the snuggle of your newborn, the laughter of your toddler mid-game, or the bittersweet embrace of a growing child, I create images that don’t just show how your family looks—they capture how these fleeting days feel.



Let’s create something beautiful, meaningful, and uniquely yours—photos that will bring you back to the love of this season, time and time again.

"We absolutely loved Susannah! She asked questions beforehand to get to know the kids... She is so friendly and sweet."

"We absolutely loved Susannah! She asked questions beforehand to get to know the kids, and when we were having our pictures taken she was getting to know the kids too. She is so friendly and sweet. Her pictures turned out absolutely gorgeous. Exactly what I was wanting and more!!"
