There is nothing more incredible than a photograph that captures the bright-eyed innocence of a child…their curiosity, their energy , their beauty.  It is an art; it is a talent; it is a gift that is developed through practice.  Susan has practiced her photographic art for more than 25 years.  While her talent goes beyond child photography this area is a favorite of hers.  Susan has talent that abounds in the creation of photographs that capture the essence of each individual.  She takes time-the time to uncover personalities, to identify activities, and reveal individual characteristic that can only be captured with a passion for creativity.  Susan has a style that blends fine art and portrait photography, capturing life on the move; finding art in everyday moments.

Susan is originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, after studying photography at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, she moved to Colorado Springs in the early 1980s.  There, Susan studied with noted Colorado photographer Myron Wood for two years, eventually taking her skills to the classroom; engaging children in the magic of photography.  Susan’s incredible work began with a single black and white study of children  in the classroom.  Her keen eye for candid moments, and instinctive ability to catch children “lost in themselves,” resulted in a series of fine art prints that sold out in a single evening.  Susan quickly realized she could combine two loves into a single joy.
