Glad you stopped by!

Hey there! I'm Susie, the girl behind the camera.

I'm an on-location, natural light photographer for Frankfort, IL and the Chicagoland area! My passion for working with high school seniors as well as college students hopefully comes through in my photography, because I think there's no better group to work with! I love fresh faces as well as capturing each client's unique personality and preserving it as photographic art.

I'm a wife to an amazing husband and a mom to two college-age boys. Whether it's photography, interior design, fiber art quilting, or scrapbooking, I have always been a creative soul. I have my Bachelor degree in Nursing, but after my boys left for college, I decided to begin a second career staying where I was a good deal of time for the past 21 years anyway, and that's behind the camera!

I can't begin to tell you the feeling of satisfaction I get when my client sees her images and says, "Oh my gosh, I didn't know I could look that good," or he comments about how cool or great his pictures are. My hope and mission is that every client will see themselves as God sees them, at least in some small way. And that they would begin to sense that they are "fearfully and wonderfully made!"

I am really thankful for the opportunity God has put before me, and can't wait to see what He will do with it!

Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3

Julia | Peotone High School | Class of 2012 | IL Senior Photography

As the school year begins, this darling 2012 senior is already making herself at home at the University of Illinois! My photoshoot with Julia this summer was a blast! This little cutie was up for going to any location from a train station to an off road location into a field of wild grasses. I came to find out that Julia is a woman of many sporting abilities! She’s an athlete year round, and I have a feeling she’s pretty darn good at anything she tries! However, she is also very humble about it all—just a breath of fresh air!

Julia, thanks for a super fun shoot, and I’ll be praying that you have a wonderful first year of college!
