I create a comfortable atmosphere for your maternity photoshoot.

 

 

 


My name is Susannah, I am a follower of Christ, wife to my hardworking hubby, mama to two sweet little boys, and lover of photographs.


I love helping moms capture beautiful photos with their husbands (and older children) during pregnancy. It’s such a special time—anticipating the exciting firsts with your new baby while cherishing the sweet lasts with your family as it is now.


I help you relax and feel comfortable in front of my camera so that your true personality can really shine through, creating timeless treasured pieces of art that you'll cherish.
