Susannah is nothing short of incredible! She makes you feel comfortable throughout the entire process and brings so much fun energy into the studio! She is responsive, helpful and really listens to what you want. Leading up to my photoshoot she checked in multiple times to go over ideas, outfits and answer any questions I might have had. She’s truly one of the best in the business and you will not be disappointed in her work!!!! Definitely give her a shot!” – CM
Susannah was amazing! I was nervous leading up to the session, but once I arrived I knew it would great. She makes you feel comfortable during the session and puts you at ease right away. She is such a joy to work with during the photo shoot. I highly recommend her!” – Susan Smith
I have nothing but WONDERFUL things to say about Susannah. This was my very first boudoir session, and I was pretty nervous about how everything would go. From the very first call I had with Susannah, I felt completely at ease about the session. She is SO communicative, experienced, and encouraging – she gave me the utmost confidence (and her portfolio truly speaks for itself – the girl is AMAZING). The day of the session, I felt so pampered and cared for – from getting my hair and makeup done by her extremely talented MUA to settling into the studio and taking all the shots I was hoping for and more! I was SO pleased with how the pictures turned out – I highly recommend Susannah to anyone looking for a boudoir (or family – or portrait – or anything) photographer. The entire experience was perfection!” – MF
Susannah helped me feel so comfortable and I am so so so happy I did this. I think every woman should have this opportunity because it made me feel something I haven’t felt for a really long time, if ever, about myself and my body. I was so extremely nervous and wanted to cancel multiple times, but I felt so safe and supported by Susannah and am so excited to see all the pictures.” – Carah Poe
Susannah will make you feel beautiful beyond what you have ever felt before and totally empowered! I left my experience with her seeing myself in a whole new light and I can’t wait to do it again. I’d do it a million times if I could!” – Melissa Rolli
Loved working with Susannah. For a very introverted person, she made it easy and fun! Finally got to show my husband the final product and TMI, but he didn’t even make it through the whole album. Great work, highly recommend!” – Lindsey Brookshire
She works hard to balance putting you at ease with also getting you as many amazing photos as possible. Very professional behavior, and professional final products!”” – RL
Oh my goodness, I seriously can’t even believe these are me! I got tears in my eyes looking at them. I just left you a rambling message on Messenger because it was too much to type. I can’t wait to see the rest…you are truly the best. What an amazing talent you have to capture these so incredibly! I loved every part of our shoot together!!” – Sarah Silva
O!M!G!!!! WOW!!! I’m speechless! These are ah.maz.ing!! I love them! Thank you for being THE BEST photographer!! YOU made it so much easier and comfortable than I ever thought it would be. I walked out of your studio feeling like I have known you for years and that doesn’t happen with me, ever. You are so sweet and so easy to talk to and be around. Thank you for making me feel so confident and comfortable! These pictures wouldn’t have been this great without you behind the lens! You truly are amazing at what you do!! I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures!! I sent one to my husband and he LOVED it! It makes me feel SO good that after all of these years together he still thinks I’m hot!” – Jessica Rutledge
Boudoir is empowering. As women, self-criticism tends to come more easily than self-love. So I think it’s fair to say that standing in front of a camera with little (to no) clothing can be a bit scary. Somehow, though, in the midst of that vulnerability, Susannah not only snaps incredible photos, but empowers you to see yourself as the beauty you truly are. Photography is an art, and Susannah has an amazing eye for capturing the beauty of the female body. You are beautiful. YOU are art. No matter what apprehensions you may have, I highly suggest giving boudoir (with Susannah behind the lens) a try. It will most definitely not disappoint.” – anonymous
One of THE coolest experiences I’ve ever had! Susannah was a joy to work with from day one and on. I knew exactly what to expect, I had a private place to throw around ideas with her directly and I went into the photo shoot feeling 100% confident about everything. This wasn’t my first photo shoot like this but I will never go to anyone else! Thank you so much!” – Jenny Skalski
I can’t say enough about Susannah. She made my wife feel amazing and special. In the intimate setting of her studio, Susannah she made my wife feel relaxed and comfortable. I would highly recommend and look forward to using her again. Susannah captured the beauty and elegance of my wife for us and gave us photography that will last forever. These photographs are works of art. If you are looking for a photographer that takes their time to capture the right photos and makes the subject feel confident, Susannah is your photographer. She is definitely is our go to for the future.” – Weston G
Gosh, where to start? If you are reading this, it probably means you’re considering Susannah as your photographer. I can tell you with absolute certainty, don’t second guess – just book her. Together, you will create images that you will treasure forever. Susannah instantly feels like a friend you’ve known for years, putting you at ease and capturing your true personality. She is extremely well-accomplished in the photography world and her ability to document a moment at precisely the best angle and time is impressive. Being both technically and artistically talented, the images she creates will exceed any expectations you may have. Susannah is a true gem and an incredible photographer.” – HS
OMG! I can NOT believe these images are of me!!! I truly cannot believe that you got so many pictures of me that I love already…. I knew you’d do a great job, but now I REALLY know how great of a job you can really do! You made our session so easy and had such a quick pace to prevent me from over thinking. You were so complimentary and kept me going. Thanks a million!” – Laura Myers
Susannah was so great during my boudoir session, she made the whole experience comfortable and fun and my photos took my breath away! I will treasure my photos for the rest of my life. She’s convinced me to make boudoir photos a personal tradition to celebrate how my body grows and changes, and I look forward to future experiences with her!” – Marissa Kraynik
I can not stop looking at these images. Thank you so friggin much. This was such an empowering experience – I LOVE seeing that I still have it in me to be more than just a mom, wife, whatever hat I may be wearing at any time. I’m so in love with these images! You’re such an amazing force and I’m so glad we got to do this!”” – Felicia Sanchez
Susannah, I am gobsmacked… speechless… I can’t believe what I’m seeing!!! Wow. Girl. You are a wizard with the camera, the lighting, the edits, and the vision. Just wow! I called my husband as he was pulling in to work. I told him to pull over to FaceTime and he asked if it was an emergency. Um yes. Boudoir pictures of your wife — pull over! Hahahahhahaha! He was blown away and so so sooooooo happy with the sneak peek. I can’t wait to meet up and see them all!! Eeeek!” – Holly Berry
Susannah, I just opened my package and my pictures are even more amazing than I could have imagined! The metal print is absolutely stunning! Thank you so much for helping me feel so sexy and beautiful.” – V.S.
I never thought I was beautiful or felt beautiful until I had this photo shoot experience with Susannah. She made me feel at ease, like a really beautiful person. She took my editing requests seriously and made my whole experience something I will cherish forever. I now have new light into how I view my body and a new confidence that hopefully keeps me wanting to experience new things out of my own comfort zone. Susannah’s eye for photography, her lines, and angles made me look and feel like a goddess.” – Anonymous
Just wanted to let you know that I gave my fiance the album this last weekend, and he absolutely loved it. He cried at the first photo and is absolutely amazed, as am I, with the work we did together.” – CB
I cant tell you how many times I’ve pulled up my gallery and just looked at all the pictures already! Seeing these pictures has reminded me of how much I’ve been through in life and how, despite the struggle, you can get past anything and become a newly confident and amazing person. It’s one thing to hear you’re beautiful but it’s a whole different thing to actually truly FEEL it. Susannah, you helped me see that in myself again and I seriously cant thank you enough!” – Jody Myers
Susannah, it was so wonderful to meet and work with you! I had a blast and can’t wait to see the final images! You have an amazing aura about you, and are truly gifted at what you do. So glad we were able to work together.” – Jin Tassler
Susannah is an amazing and talented photographer! Her up-beat attitude, her kind encouragement, and her love for building up women and showing their true beauty is like none other. Like so many women, I have struggled over many years with my body image. Trust me, you will want EVERY photo she takes, they are so amazing! Thank you Susannah for being not just a wonderful artist and photographer but also for being a kind hearted encourager of women! Susannah is one of a kind!” – Karin Foley
Susannah, OMFG!!!!! I am sitting at lunch with the fam and saw your email of sneak peeks. I opened it up, quite nervous to see….email pops open…I had to shut it down because they look absolutely amazing!!! I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THE REST!!! You are seriously amazeballs!!! Thank you! You made me feel so comfortable – this would not be something I would do… it only took me a year to book with you!” – Teresa Berardi
Susannah, oh my word!!! I’m in tears, this was so healing. I look so pretty, I’m literally speechless! I cannot believe that is me! Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed!” – Karlie K.
Omg I just saw the sneak peeks! Thank you so much! I seriously just keep staring at them. You are so talented!” – Calla Boyce
Oh my God Susannah, is that even me! I am in love with all the pictures you just shared! I can’t wait to see the rest! Thanks again for everything! I had such a great time and I really appreciate how comfortable you made the session.” – Vickie Sites
Thank you so much, Susannah! I keep looking at these sneak peeks because I can’t believe it’s me! You made me feel so comfortable and great about myself. I really enjoyed all the ideas you came up with and loved how hard you worked to capture all of my ideas from my inspiration board. I’m so excited to see the rest of my pictures!” – Chrisi Norman
Susannah! The time that I spent collaborating with you was so incredibly fun! And sending back-and-forth ideas of poses as well as the fun outfits that I never in 1 million years would’ve purchased without this photo shoot. Your encouragement throughout the shoot made time fly by. The experience with you was empowering, fun, and just what I needed to remind myself that I am sensual, sexy, and beautiful. Thank you so much for this entire experience!” – Allisun Baumgartner
Susannah been a friend of mine for decades. When we were in college, I was always blown away by her incredible photographic eye. It’s so cool that she has been able to turn it into an extraordinarily successful career. I got to do a boudoir shoot with her last spring when visiting Colorado. Susannah has an amazing ability to put you at ease during the shoot. She has a keen eye for lighting and angles. Her hair and makeup artist is also amazing. We had so much fun during our shoot and the print album looks amazing. If you’re at all curious about doing a boudoir shoot, I 100% recommended you call Susannah. She is a true artist and amazing person that I’m lucky to call my friend!!”– Katie Schell
Susannah! I just wanted to let you know my album arrived on Christmas eve and it’s beautiful. My print arrived today and I just hung it. I have a direct view of it from my bed and I LOVE it! What a great way to set the tone in my bedroom for the new year!! I kinda regret not getting two!”– anonymous
I’ve always wanted to do boudoir photos ever since I got married 5 years ago. As I got older, I gained over 60 pounds and began to lose confidence. I kept feeling ashamed and kept thinking to myself, “If I could just get back to where I was 2-3 years ago” or “If I had just taken the photos back then it would have been perfect!” Then I got tired of beating myself up. I looked in the mirror and saw a beautiful woman who was insecure only by comparison. Ladies, let me tell you, I could not believe how much my confidence has boosted after this shoot! If you are hesitant, don’t be. Embrace who you are, every curve, every pound, every scar. Give the gift of truth to yourself because believe me, it is SO worth it!”– Alyssa Enger
As a 48 year old woman, wife, and mother of two girls, this experience with Susannah was empowering! When she sent me “sneak peek” pictures, I was in complete awe and literally ran around the kitchen table in excitement. The photos turned out way better than what I had pictured in my head. The soft lighting, strategic angles, and ambiance were perfect. I’m soooooooo happy with the results! Thank you, Susannah, you are an amazing photographer!”– Jannetta Knight
Susannah Dowell I have to say- you get such perfect poses! You have a way of pulling out the relaxation in people even when they’re wearing nothing but their undies! It’s pretty incredible. I never imagined I’d be so comfortable posing like this in front of… anyone!!!”– Liz Smith
The photos of my 72 year old aging-self-made-suddenly-young & pretty has been such a powerful insight for me. Susannah promised me I’d be delighted and I am. What goes beyond the delight, though, is a perspective I never had before: “Hey! That’s me-?-!-I never knew I looked like that!” Boudoir is not entirely about ego; it’s a powerful motivator for positive direction, a rewrite of one’s own self perception. Vanitas, it’s all NOT vanitas! Sail on, silver girls!”– Susan Stiles Dowell
HANDS DOWN AMAZING! All around! From the very initial phone contact I had with Susannah! She has gone above and beyond and is super responsive. I did a boudoir shoot as a gift to myself. I was so nervous, and as most women are, very insecure and unsure of myself. Susannah is a MAGICIAN with her camera. She is so ENCOURAGING and makes the entire experience FUN! I have never felt so BEAUTIFUL and CONFIDENT in my life as I did once I saw my photos! I ABSOLUTEOLUTE got the bombshell sex kitten shoot I wanted! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR TO BOOK??!”– Laura Walton
Susannah, I’ve NEVER in my life felt more amazing than I did in your studio! This was the BEST 40th bday gift to MYSELF. I keep looking at my images and I cant believe that’s ME!”– Laura Walton
I love my pictures…you made me look amazing, I can’t believe it! Thanks for making me look and feel beautiful. It was a joy to work with you, you made it very comfortable and fun.”– Teresa Clemans
Thank you so much Susannah! I had so much fun and it’s always such a blast. What a great service and therapy you are giving to women who think they could never be in front of a camera. We get to be glamorous and feel beautiful for a day. You have a gift and you make these shoots so much fun!!”– Jolyn Maly
Susannah, I’m not sure if you saw this or not, but you made my husband Tim cry while he was looking at the images. After we saw the initial preview, he was wiping away tears because of how beautiful the pictures were. I have struggled with self esteem and self image for years, and even on my way to the shoot I was not expecting to see beauty in ANY of my pictures, but you changed that and for that I am eternally grateful. Tim and I talked about how easily it could have been a terrible experience and would have just validated my insecurities in myself, but I was lucky enough to have you and that made the difference. You are amazing and have a gift! Thank you for being so wonderful.”– Meg Folk
Susannah is very passionate about everything she does and it shows in her work. From our first phone call to the delivery of our products, she was very professional, honest, and open. She doesn’t just take pictures; she captures thoughts, dreams, ideas, and life. I look at my gigantic canvas from our boudoir session over my bed, or my leather album, and I can see that these aren’t just a collection of photographs – they are true pieces of artwork. But the best part is that she started out as my photographer, and ended up being a new found friend.” – Heather Owens-Barber
This experience was so fun! Susannah, you are amazing at what you do! You’re amazing at seeing beauty. I encourage all of you to have this experience and feel extraordinary.”– Krista Jessen-Kiewicz
Susannah, I’m truly blown away! I almost cried when I first saw our images. I’ve never seen myself as ‘sexy’ and these photographs just hit all the marks. I can’t wait to see the rest! I’m telling all my girls to come see you! Thank you, thank you!” – Meagan Scovil
Susannah is amazing!!! I did a boudoir shoot and loved the entire experience!! The albums are so beautiful and even the USBs are amazing! So much thought was put into all of it. It was such a wonderful experience having her as a photographer! From the initial email exchanges to the delivery of my goodies it was an awesome experience.”– Jackie Raskay
Thank you again for your beautiful work. I have been telling all of my friends about you and the amazing pictures you took! Thank you for the gifts and all the time you spent on my pictures. I appreciate it, more than you know. I haven’t felt great about myself since having my daughter but when I look at these pictures I feel beautiful and empowered!”– L. M.
Ok, HOLY MOLY!!! I cant believe how these turned out…I’m floored and love these. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM!!! Thank you again, I cant believe what an amazing experience this was.” – Laura Mason
Susannah is absolutely amazing to work with. Her photography is ART!!!! I have been on cloud nine since my boudoir shoot; she made me look and feel amazing. And my husband was literally speechless when he saw these images.”– Day Kenny
Susannah is amazing! I recently had 3 photoshoots with 3 different photographers in 2 months, and she is by far as the best! Not only does she make you feel absolutely incredible before, during, and after the shoot, but her pictures are exceptional. She is truly a professional, unlike a lot of these so-called photographers that just show up with a camera and without a real clue of what to do, who rush you through some basic pictures. Her photoshop skills are great as well. She communicates a ton with you before the shoot to ensure you get what you want which was so appreciated and helpful. And she also communicates with you a lot afterwards and works hard to tweak any pictures you would like. You’re not just another client to her. She’s the only photographer I will use now. I highly recommend her to everyone I know!”– Kelly Norris
Our boudoir session was so much fun! Susannah helps you pose for what works for your body, which I personally love because I always need help with posing! She also makes the session exciting – we chatted the entire time and there was not a single difficult or awkward moment, even though I was in very little clothing and thought it would be much harder than it was. She has such an embracing personality you can’t help but love her! So excited to give these beautiful images to my husband!”– Gisselle Roberts
I really want to thank you again for such a great time and making it so easy and comfortable. I also want to thank you because for the first time in 19 years I saw myself as beautiful in those images. My body is not where I want it to be and I am beginning that step with the help of my doctor. But my husband said, when looking at the photos – that’s the beauty he sees in me every day. This was such a great experience for me and I really thank you from the bottom of my heart.”– Meg Folk
Working with Susannah was an absolute dream! From our first contact through the purchase of my final product she was incredibly enthusiastic and so much fun to work with! The session was fun and relaxed and the pictures she captured were beyond what I had envisioned they could be. She really LOVES people and taking pictures and that shines through. I think no matter what kind of pictures you are looking for, she will dive into finding out what you want and will work hard to exceed all your expectations!!”– Laura M
Susannah, holy wow! It almost feels like an out of body experience looking at these images, I can’t believe this is me! I don’t like saying this because I love me as I am, but I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been and have shamed myself for it. These are a reminder that I’m beautiful in the skin I’m in and am SO worthy of self-love! Thanks so much for these!”– Sara Demarest
Susannah is amazing! She makes you feel at easy during the shoot, and tells just how to pose, look, smile, whatever to give a beautiful photo. Her attentiveness to my experience blew me away. Her communication and care exceeds any experience I have ever had. My photos turned out BEAUTIFUL, SEXY, CLASSY, any other word that describes I LOVE THEM!”– Krista J
Susannah, you are exactly what needed! I’ve never felt good enough or pretty enough for anything like a boudoir shoot. You changed that for me in a few hours. I’ve had mental scars of my body since high school, and you helped me see myself differently. This session ended up being more for me than for my hubby. I didn’t know I needed it for me; this really hit a spot with me and changed my body dysformation mentality. Seeing the sneak peeks was so emotional for me! I am absolutely amazed with the work you have done for me and for the confidence you have given me. You’ve made me feel like such a goddess.” – Anonymous
Susannah, I just got your email with the sneak peeks and oh my gosh, I’m in tears!! For years I’ve struggled with my appearance. And I’m just blown away. Like there’s no way that’s me! I needed this! Seriously, thank you so so much!!” – Lindsey Portillo
