“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 photographed my son’s first birthday party and her stunning pictures now line the walls of my home. She was personable, professional, unobtrusive and captured the most amazing moments. She is so talented and a delightful person! I highly recommend. I recently booked Susannah again – 12 years later – to photograph our whole family and the images are amazing! She was so fun to work with, made everyone feel at ease. When it came time to choose which photos to use and how to display them – she was so helpful! She suggested a canvas display that looks fantastic – and was able to do a mock up to show exactly what it would look like on the wall before making final decisions. I highly recommend Susannah!”– Mindy Basara

Susannah traveled out to our farm in Maryland to take photos of the whole family (and 3 semi cooperative dogs). The children loved her. The selection of photos as far as groups, and backgrounds, etc was perfect. You will not find a better choice for your professional photography. Love, love, love.”– Katherine Dell

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, thank you! The whole experience of working with you – from start to finish – was wonderful. You are so talented and we are so fortunate to have you as Erika’s photographer!”– Theresa Olsen

Susannah is incredible! She did family pictures for us and they are beyond our wildest expectations. From the first contact to the end, Susannah was responsive, enthusiastic, and fun. She has great ideas and suggestions. Most importantly, she is a magician at drawing out the kids’ personalities. We are thrilled that she captured all the unique, funny expressions that our kids make that until now have not been caught on film. Anyone who is lucky enough to have Susannah capture their world will be very glad that they did!”– Sara LaBrie

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 shot beautiful photos of our musicians performing at a corporate event. She delivered the photos quickly and was very easy to work with. I would highly recommend her for your private event photography needs.”– Brett Omara

As someone who’s worked with a few photographers and strives to take better photos herself, Susannah is clearly as pro as it gets! What I liked most about our family’s shoot was her verbal cues that got us all to look natural, shot after shot. I don’ t know how she comes up with the words to elicit such fun shots, but she does, and does it the whole time! The shoot was a joy and we could not be happier with the photos.”– Kacy Basara

My heart is so full! Susannah captured our family’s laughter, love, passion, and our overall authentic selves. I have worked with other photographers as well and I have to say that she is hands down the best I have worked with. She made us all feel so comfortable and I love that she works so well with the kids and the patience for them when they need to take a break. There were so many photos that we loved! I also appreciated her promptness to get back to us! I highly recommend Susannah for anyone that is looking for a photographer who will answer texts, help with outfits, make you laugh, always feel comfortable and most of all is amazing at taking photos!”– Madeline Scruggs

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

Susannah, oh my God! I am loving these pictures so far! I have to be honest with you, I don’t generally take very good pictures, but I really like how I look in these and absolutely love how my family looks. Love, love, love them. Thank you so much for making us look good!!”– Teresa Clemans

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.

I’m really happy with the photos of my toddler that I’ve got from Susannah. My husband and I just can’t stop looking at them. It’s not even because of the quality of the picture and the prints (which is really great), but it’s because they reflect her sensitive and a little bit foxy personality. Normally, my daughter doesn’t like camera, and that’s why she’s grouchy on all her photos. And here – I don’t know what magic was used – but she is so naturally smiling on all the pictures!!”– Diana Anderson

Susannah is so talented, kind, and professional. She was able to capture both my 4 year old and 18 month old daughters smiling and looking at the camera, which is impossible! Highly recommend for family photo shoots!”– Christine Molina

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 very easy to work with. She was able to accommodate our large group including multiple families, children, and a dog. She is a great listener, personable, and very timely with delivering the pictures. Thank you Susannah for the great photographs!”– Alexandra Buscemi

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

I purchased fine art canvases from Susannah and each day I walk past them they make me so very happy! Her art has such a peaceful quality to it so we’ve spread it throughout our home and we just love it so much!!!“– Julie Goetzinger

Susannah, I am so excited. These are the first family pictures we have all loved! I am so happy the love and laughter show through as that is what I want my family to remember!”– Valerie Schwinn

Susannah is so professional and easy to work with! She was flexible, very responsive, and very easy to schedule and communicate with. She also helped us walk through the process of getting ready for the shoot with outfit choices, taking advantage of the day’s weather, and picking our favorite pictures from the shoot for our walls. And we loved her photos and ability to capture the natural smiles of our children.“– Aylene McCallum

Susannah, these family images are just beautiful! I love them so much! You are SO GOOD at what you do. Thank you again. We will treasure these for a lifetime, literally!”– Kate Truhlar

I loved getting our couples photos taken by Susannah! We had the best experience from beginning to end. First of all, she made my boyfriend and I feel comfortable in front of the camera- not an easy task! She was consistently giving us compliments (I felt like a goddess) and coaching us to get the best angles and light for the most dramatic photos. Susannah is a true artist, and she has the eye to make gorgeous, breathtaking edits. She captured all the emotion and love between us, and we are thrilled to have such beautiful photos to keep and share for a lifetime.”– Shelbi Allen

Susanah, the pictures of Viviana and Isaac arrived and are far beyond our expectations. Just beautiful work. Thank you again!”– Sara LaBrie

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

Susannah, Wow! You really captured the full range of Dax’s personality in his school pictures, thank you!!”– Sarah Poquette

5 stars is not enough for Susannah. She is a very accomplished photographer, and has the special talent of making everyone feel at ease. She has the eye for angles and light, and ends up with amazing pictures. We have used her for an extended-family portrait session, as well as our daughter’s senior pictures. Both sessions were relaxed, fun, and we couldn’t be happier with the end results. If you want a photographer who loves what she does, and puts it all into your portraits, you have found her here!!”– Debbie Uhl

Susannah, these headshots are just awesome. They’re much better than my old crusty photos I had done with a London photographer. This one shows me much more relaxed and naturally me; it feels so warming and welcoming. Amazing work, Susannah! To be honest, I did this photoshoot to support Shelbi (my girlfriend), and really wasn’t excited about it, but I had a lot of fun and it was so easy working with you! The way it went was a massive surprise – it was actually a lot of fun, and the headshots you captured from it I’ll use for years to come.”– Matt Miliffe

Working with susannah was a wonderful experience. She was able to beautifully capture my son’s natural smile and make us feel at ease so we got pictures that describe, capture, and visually portray our relationship. I strongly recommend her photography, and couldn’t be more thrilled with the way our pictures came out.“– Kate Ross

Susannah shot a family photo shoot for us and to sum it up in one word… “wow”. She is so passionate about what she does- not only does it show in her photos but also in the joy she takes in getting those photos. The photo shoot was fun- yes- fun! My kids were laughing and giggling the entire time, they thought it was a play date. This really allowed Susannah to catch some of the most beautiful family pictures I’ve ever seen- everyone is relaxed, happy and giving those great “real” smiles you hope for. Thank you Susannah!“– Laura Mackey

Susannah is a dream to work with. It was the lowest stress photo shoot we have ever done with our kids, and the photos are gorgeous. Susannah puts so much time and care into all of her clients and the photos she prepares for them! Susannah is extremely talented and so pleasant to work with. My husband (who HATES getting family photos done), even said afterwards that our shoot was “so low stress” and was in a great mood after we finished! She truly has such a sweet presence and our kids were very relaxed with her and it showed in the gorgeous photos she produced for us. I could not recommend her more. I can’t wait to hang up these pictures! Thank you Susannah!“– Jessica Perry

Susannah is very professional and easy to work with. She was also very flexible on the location and time of the shoot which was soo great. Added bonus is that she was great with my baby and my dogs!!“– Bryony Mccormack

Thank you Susannah for such amazing family photos in Breckenridge! You are so much fun to work with and made us laugh and smile all afternoon! We could not be more happy with the photos. You got both of my kids and the dogs to all pay attention to you…at the same time…totally miraculous. The photos you took were simply the best we’ve ever had. As a wedding planner, I can’t wait to recommend her to my clients! Thank you, Susannah!“– Amanda Piper

I am so happy with the outcome of my son’s pre-k school portraits! Susannah really knows how to capture authentic smiles and her lighting is amazing. I didn’t get the chance to meet her but I could sense her positive energy through our emails. I will definitely be reaching out to her for future family photos! Great work, Susannah!“– Bridgette Sailor

Susannah’s work is simply amazing. Her eye for the perfect shot can not be beat. We now have family pictures we will forever cherish. She worked well with our young kids to capture their personalities and worked quickly to keep them engaged, the location was beautiful, and the lighting was perfection. Her work is a true gift and we could never thank her enough. What a gift!”– Gna Kersten

Susannah has expertly photographed our family portraits for the past 4 sessions. On our last adventure, she took us out of our comfort zone with an more urban feel. She picked fun backdrops like murals, garage doors and lampposts. The pics turned out amazing. She is a true artisan. Highly recommend her talents.“– Diane Heinz

Susannah was photographing an event I attended in Africa the first time I met her. She was almost never without her camera, even during off times, and her warmth drew people in, even if they weren’t there to be photographed. I’ve never met someone that is as open and exuberant about life as Susannah is and that passion carries to her photography. Through her eyes everyone and everything is beautiful and if you have the opportunity to spend some time with her, either for a photo session or just for a chat, you’ll get to bask in that fairy dust. Since I am half a world away I decided I’d have to get my fix from hanging her art in my house. She worked with me on getting the order just right and sent 7 amazing prints to adorn our new house. Now I can see what she sees and it’s a beautiful way to see the world.“– Elizabeth Jordan

We met Susannah almost four years ago when she took my son’s newborn photos. The photos from that shoot have remained our favorites and have not moved from our wall. I had the opportunity to have her take our photos again in this new season of our lives, and I am SO excited we did! Susannah mentioned she had a sneak peek of the photos she took just a few days ago for us, and I CANNOT wait to see the rest. They are beautiful and timeless photos that perfectly capture the season of life we are in. Susannah flawlessly handled our chaotic family of six and captured our little minions in play and laughter. I cannot recommend her enough!”– Courtney Gonzales

Susannah produced the most beautiful and natural photos of my little one. She was so helpful and responsive in communication when it came to editing images and questions about orders. I would definitely use her again!“– Harriet Morgan

I seriously cannot say enough good things about Susannah! She is not only a remarkably skilled photographer, she is also amazing with children and so enjoyable to work with. Whereas sometimes photo shoots with little ones can be stressful and unpredictable, Susannah always makes me and my kids feel at ease, and she gets the best and most natural smiles out of them. She is all about capturing the beautiful, real-life moments, and has given us images that we will treasure for a lifetime. Thank you, Susannah!! Let’s schedule another session soon!”– Lindsey White

Amazing family photographer. Very patient and creative with kids! She has quite an eye for location and time of day to get great shots. Loved working with Susannah and would definitely recommend her.”– Erin Martin

Her casual yet energetic approach during the shoot makes her photography come across very natural, not staged, and has a sense of ease in every photo, capturing the energy and essence of the moment. I couldn’t have felt more comfortable. She gave me a little guided direction that was much needed to make all the photos have a ton of variety. She’s also the queen of PERFECT lighting- that’s her signature. She brought my small business to life and captured my Esthetician “world” perfectly for my new website! I’m very happy and would recommend her for all major life occasions. Cant wait to work with her again. Her talent and experience are hard to come by!”– Courtney Parkhill

Holy sh#t! Excuse my language! But these images are AMAZING!“– Madelyn B.

Susannah is amazing! She effortlessly captures my family and each individual’s personality in the several photo shoots we have had with her. She makes the experience fun and my kids have genuine smiles every time. She knows some great locations and all of my favorite family pictures are taken by her!!❤️”– Elizabeth Smith

Susannah did my senior photos for me and they were so fun! She helped direct me but also made it feel easy and natural. Absolutely loved the pictures and her!”– Danielle Colon

Susannah is amazing. Besides her artistic gift, she seems to possess magic powers with our children. These combined talents have created family photos that we cherish. We are so fortunate to have her in Colorado!”– Lisa Reaves

We’ve done 2 photo shoots with Susannah. One family and one senior year photos. Couldn’t have been happier. The hardest part was trying to decide which we liked the most to print. So many of my daughter’s friends commented on her senior pictures saying, “That’s what senior pictures are supposed to look like. I wish mine looked that good”. Susannah is very easy to work with. She puts everyone at ease to get the best pictures possible.”– Carly Winter

Susannah has such an eye for detail. Her shots came out beautifully! It is hard to pick a favorite. She is such a sweet and wonderful person, you will love working with her!”– Mindy Underwood

To say Susannah is a good photographer would be like saying Leonardo da Vinci liked to doodle. She is a true artist and will absolutely not disappoint. We have had multiple shoots with Susannah and even when her subjects were not on their “A games”, the end results were always FANTASTIC. Susannah picks killer locations for the shoots, arrives prepared with suggested shots, works extremely well with children, and (my favorite part) has the ability to go off script and capture those “pictures are worth a million words” moments!”– Lance Hallum

Susannah is amazing! This is our 3rd year using her as our family photographer. We drive over an hour to see her for every shoot due to how amazing our pictures are. She is professional, amazing with the kids, always has a perfect spot picked out that is different from the previous year. And she’s so easy to work with. Pictures are a must for me and I look forward to working with Susannah again next year!”– Anna Burns

Susannah is such a wonderful photographer! Even more, she is a beautiful person! We had rainbow twins back in May and she did both our maternity photos and a fresh 48 session of them while they were in NICU. The photos are such a treasure for my family. She was able to bring out the best side and catch the little moments that really show each of our personalities. If you are looking for a great photographer, she is the best you can get!”– Krystal Hale

Not only is her fine art photography amazingly beautiful, the customer service she delivers is impeccable. Susannah created a personal portal in her website, just for me, so I could organize, bookmark and save my favorite images while trying to decide which one I wanted to purchase. (There are SO many!!) Her response time on my questions was super fast. And she even hand delivered the final order to my office! I didn’t have to plan the pickup, struggle to get it in my car, etc. What a HUGE convenience! Finally, (I could gush all day…) I love that many of her photos are of local areas. #ColoradoLove Highly recommend!!”– Megan Hersh

I love Susannah! She is such a beautifully talented, gifted photographer and a wonderful person! I love how she can bring out the essence of the person or moment distilled, captured in such stunning beauty…”– Aoi Kroenig

Not only she is the SWEETEST person on the entire planet, but she has the BEST eye for capturing those moments that you WISH would last just a little bit longer and is able to gift you with that. Her eye for the natural beauty in everything in unreal and made me and my husband so happy with how our baby’s rainbow newborn pics turned out. My husband (who was super hesitant to get in pictures) LOVES that we have these now. We are so grateful and I wish so badly we still lived closer so she could do my daughter’s 1 year pics. It was such a relaxing session and such a special memory we are blessed to have photos of for forever. She truly is the best. You’ll never be disappointed with her work.”– Leah Woods

Susannah, our first canvas arrived Friday and it is fab fab fab! I have never seen anything so well packaged and it looks great up against the log cabin walls of our New Orleans home! It’s the perfect size and I think we look good up against the logs! We LOVE our canvas. Thank you!”– Julie Uhl

Susannah is a friend and a amazing photographer. She manages to capture amazing family pictures as well as has a great eye for nature photography. She has taken some of the best pictures of my kids.”– Marien Rodriguez

Susannah photographed my son’s first birthday party and her stunning pictures now line the walls of my home. She was personable, professional, unobtrusive and captured the most amazing moments. She is so talented and a delightful person! I highly recommend.”– Mindy Lutton Basara

Susannah is the best! She has an amazing eye. My daughter has never felt “pretty” and for her senior pictures she made her feel gorgeous. It was amazing to see the transformation and self confidence it inspired in my daughter. She is patient and fun! Excellent photographer and the pictures were awesome.”– Michelle Heutmaker

Susannah is a talented photographer, one of our favorites. And a fast worker. She captured our family of 7 with ease. The kids loved her, and she is a joy to work with! Bonus- she took amazing photos!”– Jesse Garrett

Susannah recorded my voice student’s national audition video. The final product was well done and the cost reasonable. After that successful venture, I had Susannah take my professional headshots for a book I was about to publish. The photos were incredible and my choice of shots amazing. Every time I see my book cover, I’m so glad I had my headshot done by Susannah.”– Paula Baach

Susannah is amazing and her pictures always blow me away not only with their quality, but the amount of personality she can bring out and capture in her pictures! She always makes my family feel super comfortable! You will not be disappointed!”– Aleesha Escalante

Susannah is super. We met to do some business headshots for myself and my real estate team, and she now shoots all of my homes for listings plus my events. She’s awesome!”– Jason Roshek & Partners

Susannah has done 3 different photo sessions with my family and every time was amazing. She’s so friendly and easy going, and she makes it so easy! Her photos always turn out AMAZING! They capture the true love and joy in a family. Her true love for photography is so worth the price of her work.”– Melissa Biskner

Working with Susannah for my business headshots was the best decision I could have made. She put me at ease instantly and directed me into each pose. She made the session fun and interesting – we chatted the entire time and there was not a single awkward moment. I thought it would be a lot harder than it was! And I’ve gotten many complements on my headshots too. She had me in and out within 45 minutes and photos turned around within one week – faster than any photographer I have ever worked with. Thank you, Susannah, for making my headshots easy and such an enjoyable professional experience.”– Christopher Colon

Susannah has been doing our family photos for years. She has a skill and talent that I believe cannot be taught. She captures the spirit of your family somehow! I have seen lots of other professional photos that are sharp, good pictures, but look kind of wooden and staged. Susannah is amazing at always getting natural looking pictures and capturing spontaneity, also in sharp, perfectly toned, professional pictures unlike any other photographer. She is a step above anyone else I’ve used or seen. Her prices are reasonable and she is also fabulous to work with. Look no further.”– Stephanie Thomas

I cannot say enough about Susannah. She really captured the joy that my girls bring to me. She was able to forever save their amazing personalities on a photograph. I can’t stop smiling when I see the photos she took for us. She is fun, professional, and generous. She made sure that I was getting the pictures that I wanted, not just doing a standard photo shoot. I have used a number of different photographers over the last few years, and she is definitely in the top. I will be a returning customer.”– Melissa Kinnee

Susannah did a photoshoot for our family pictures outdoors over the summer. We had three generations present that day and she picked a couple very nice locations that were perfect for the occasion. Every single detail was meticulously planned to perfection. Our pictures turned out even more awesome! Susannah has a special talent making people feel comfortable (even our wacko bunch) and she can even “brush up” and customize photos if needed. I highly recommend Susannah for ANY occasion. She is really is the best!”– Scott Uhl

I love all the images so much – you got so many good ones! I can’t imagine things having gone any more smoothly. You are just a genius at getting kids to smile! And you got so many great shots, and so quickly, too! I started laughing out loud just looking through them again at the joy on Aidan’s face — he was having such a good time! We loved having you take our photos and I’m so grateful that you were willing to work with us on such a tight time frame. You really are a phenomenal photographer and I feel so grateful you made this happen. I love them all!”– Savannah Marriott

Susannah captured amazing moments between our family to last a lifetime. So thankful for her skill and perfection with photography!”– Sarah Shaker

UNBELIEVABLE!! You are sooooo talented, these are so amazing!! I don’t even have the words to explain how impressed I am – speechless. I am so glad you were there to capture these images.”– Bobbi Glenn

Susannah is such a talented photographer! She is also a delight to work with. She knows what she is doing, and is always prepared to capture your family’s personalities in the most beautiful way. I cannot recommend her enough. If you’re looking for a photographer, look no further!”– Ashley Hildebrandt

Personable, professional, patient. These are the best words to describe Susannah and the beautiful work she creates through the medium of her camera lens. Not only does she have the professional experience, she also has something you can’t teach…a design eye that comes with natural talent. Her patience is deep and wide and comes with a bubbly personality that immediately calms your camera-shy nerves. After our shoot, I thanked my kids for giving up their time to come all the way to the Springs with me and my husband to do the photo shoot, because it was important to me. And do you know what they said? ‘No problem, Mom. Susannah was sooo nice. She actually talked to us and wanted to know about us. It was a fun experience. We’re glad we did it.’ Seriously, they said those words. That doesn’t normally happen. Thank you, Susannah so much for your genuine kindness towards my kids and all of us during our shoot. We cant wait to see the pictures!”– Cori Mallott

My family and I had the great pleasure of having our pictures taken by Susannah. When I say that we were beyond impressed, that is an understatement. Not only is she a great photographer, but a wonderful person. She worked well with each member of my family (9 people for that photoshoot, 5 children and 4 adults). She used the surroundings well to create incredible natural backgrounds and she just allowed us to have fun. It was an all around great experience. Then when it came to selecting our photos, she came and helped us pick out what we wanted to hang up and was just patient and kind with having four very opinionated family members select something. She was not pushy! She was simply helpful and provided with exactly what we needed to capture our memories. I am so honored to have worked with her and highly recommend her to others. She cares about people and has a passion for capturing moments, not just pictures, that we will cherish for a lifetime. THANK YOU SUSANNAH!!”– Gilder Family

We were so excited to be able to work with you, Susannah! We have wanted to work together again for forever. We are so grateful it worked out. You are amazing in so many ways: not only do you have a beautiful gift of art, but you have a true gift working with us and other families as well. The passion and excitement you have shines through you. We are honest when we say we can’t wait to have your work on our walls. You are such a gifted photographer. You went out of your way to make our shoot happen, and you are amazing to work with. We have two boys, one of which is four and he adored you. You have guided us and helped us so much in picking the best photos for our space. We highly recommend you! Thank you again for making this shoot happen!”– Laurie Beers

Susannah! I have to tell you… every time David walks by the huge canvas of us with our grandkids (which is on the wall between the kitchen and the den), he stops every time, looks at it for several seconds, and smiles… it makes our day every time we see it. Thank you for such a beautiful memory.”– Jean Smith

Absolutely stunning photos, Susannah! We loved working with you, you’re just amazing. We have so many favorites – it’s going to take some time to narrow it down to the ones we actually want to put on the wall. And all of Alyssa’s older friends that have already graduated and had their senior photoshoots are saying to her, ‘That’s how good senior photos can look?!’ and, ‘I see why you went all the way to Colorado to get your senior photos taken!’ You have a ringing endorsement from Texas!!”– Carly Winter

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

Love working with you Susannah! You always know how to make the kids cooperate, smile, and pose. The pictures are always amazing and natural looking, even when posed! We just love working with you, and the end product is always wonderful!”– Jessica Atwell

I cannot stop looking at these pictures. They are AMAZING!!!!!! I love love love them!! I havent stopped scrolling through them over and over again. And my mom is amazed at the images of her too, since she wasn’t dressed or ready for a photoshoot, what you captured of her and my kids on the fly is just wonderful!! “– Allison Mullaney

Susannah! I LOVE them! These are so gorgeous! You are truly talented. I have starred almost the whole gallery as favorites. I can’t even express how much I am in love with these pictures. Thank you again so very much!! xoxo”– Mindy Underwood

Susannah is THE BEST!!!! We got 19 people from 3 different families, coming from 3 different continents together, and we were done in 30 minutes!!!! Typically photo shoots are a nightmare… not with this pro!!!”– Tony Heinz

My husband’s expression when I showed him the photo of he and my daughter was priceless. He was speechless. And honestly, I have only seen a few things/photos affect Brian the way that picture did. I honestly thought he was going to cry for a minute.. only he doesn’t cry, so seriously, after such a long silence, all he could say was, “wow.” Honestly to capture joy and love the way you do is truly a talent and gift. I can’t stop looking at these photos, they make me so happy! You are amazing!!!”– Melissa Taylor

I am a repeat customer. I purchased two canvases for my dining room a year ago. And more recently, I was fortunate to be able to decorate my living room with some of Susannah’s work. Her photography has this amazing ability to bring peace and happiness. The canvases capture the beauty and calmness in things that I would probably miss. Her consulting was extremely valuable considering how hard it was to just pick a few from all her photographs. And the canvases arrived neatly packaged and quickly. Thank you!“– Dena Wurster

Susannah Dowell Photography, you are amazing! You are wonderful to work with, and I loved that you had an awesome plan for our photoshoot (and a printed shot list for pose ideas!) before we even started, due to how young our kids are. By the end of the shoot, my 4 year old, Norah, was holding Susannah’s hand! I highly recommend her service. We had a great time and the images are fantastic. Thanks again, Susannah. You are a rockstar and you know how important these pictures are to me!”– Anna Burns

Susannah, during our recent photo shoot, you made us feel so much at ease that the session felt more like quality family time playing and exploring in the park than anything else! The moments that were captured were exactly what we had hoped to elicit from a professional photo shoot – this is evident even from only the handful of photos we have seen thus far. The gentle direction you provided, and the atmosphere you created, shaped the entire experience allowing you to capture intimate family moments of pure joy (along with elusive toddler smiles – WITH direct eye contact – yay!) without affecting our family dynamics. Thank you. We cannot wait to see what else you have to show us, and well done!”– Kathleen Mara

Susannah, you are the absolute best!!! I can’t thank you enough for these beautiful pictures of my family. God has given you such an incredible talent and a wonderful spirit to go with it. I can’t wait to hang these! These pictures are simply amazing!!”– Cynthia Gilder

Thank you, thank you, thank you Susannah Dowell for capturing the fun that was had, and for creating an atmosphere perfect for us Lukowskis all around! We have loved working with you! Because of you, happy family moments have been preserved in time. We cannot thank you enough. How we wish Colorado and Massachusetts were closer together!”– Kathleen Lukowski

Susannah is not only an amazing and talented photographer, but also one of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever met. She truly loves doing photography and it shows in all of her work. I gave her very little notice about our session and no time to prepare and she still gave me the most beautiful shots of my daughter and I which she shot in literally 5 minutes. I didn’t even think that was possible, but it is with her, she works so quickly and is so enthusiastic! She works great with little kids as well. My daughter still talks about her and our mini session and how she wants to pose more for Miss Susannah. We have had so many positive comments on our pictures and how they should be in a magazine and how amazing and professional they are. We will have every single picture she took hanging on our walls. We highly recommend her! Thank you, Susannah!!”– Viktoria Stull

Susannah! I LOVE them. Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!! These images are so beautiful! I’m so excited to finally have some gorgeous family pictures!! I can’t wait to print them and put them all over facebook!”– Summer Williams

These pictures are killing me!! You are so incredibly talented!! I think you are just so beyond amazing at photography. I literally can’t get over these images. I want them all blown up all over my house!! You captured SUCH good shots! I am in love with your work.”-Natascha Leonardo

Oh my gosh, I can’t say enough good things about these! This is my whole life captured right here in a second. I cannot wait to have them hanging all over my walls!”– Tasha Sprovtsoff

Thank you so much for my senior photography session! I had a great time shooting with you and absolutely love love love the pictures. Thank you for making me look and feel great!”-Jill Werthman

Susannah, you are an amazing photographer and photojournalist. We love the images you took of us and have gotten SO many comments on them! You have the natural ability to catch your subjects’ essence, soul, and the love that people share. Susannah, you’re awesome.”-Kari Mackey

Susannah’s work is amazing. She captures the most intimate moments, and her pictures tell a story. I highly recommend her!”-Robin Mackey

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

Ladies, have to tell you how happy we are with our pics. They look amazing hanging throughout our house, and y’all are fantastic at what you do. We LOVE our photographs!”-Emily Bankhead

Susannah, I wanted to send you a note to let you know how much Zach and I CHERISH the photos you took of our family while we lived in Baltimore when Skylar had just arrived! It’s hard to believe, but she is 7 and a half, and we have a son, Owen, almost 5 years old. Thank you so much! If you EVER find yourself in Santa Monica/LA (we live in California now) let us know! We’d absolutely love to have more photos done by you. Hope you are well!”-Tawney Bains

Thank you Susannah for sharing your experiences and vision with me, and allowing me to enjoy these fine art beauties everyday in my home. They are just breathtaking, and I look forward to getting up and looking at them every morning. As an indecisive person, I am especially appreciative of the countless mock-ups Susannah did. It was very difficult to choose between her photographs, as they are all captivating in different ways.”– Dena W.

My husband and I had a great experience with Susannah. She communicated well, was able to meet up quickly and worked with us on a few personal obstacles we had. Most importantly, the photographs she took came out better than we could have ever expected! When I sent my sister the gallery she said, “how are you going to choose? They’re ALL good!” I cannot wait to get these photographs printed and hung up in our home.”– Madelyn B.

Absolutely the most unique, fun, and amazing photography experience!! From helping with outfits to hanging up the canvas, this sister team does it all.”-Samantha Briggs

We love love love our family photos. Susannah captured our true selves. She is incredibly fast at capturing these great images, which is perfect, having a 5 year old. Her team is awesome and helped me pick all our favorite photography out and locate where we wanted to hang our collection around my house. Highly recommend!”-Diane Heinz

My entire family is completely obsessed with these images. They are all over my mom’s house. We LOVE them!”-Lindsay Lock

As a new mom with a new baby, I now see the whole world in an entirely different light. Susannah captured the essence of motherhood and maternal love with this picture. I will forever be reminded of that life-changing, heart-bursting, monumental feeling of the day I became a mom to this little girl. When I look at this photo, I am reminded of what a special time pregnancy was. I can’t wait for my daughter to cherish this collection for years to come.”-Lindsay Lock

I have been getting a lot of packages in the mail these days, but my most coveted one came today: photography from Susannah Dowell!! I have been so eagerly waiting for these images to don the walls of our brand new bistro… it’s been an awesome journey to get to the grand opening, truly because you have made it so fun and so easy to help us decorate the walls! (Even though it’s been SO hard to narrow down my choices). I want your photos to be a conversation starter for our patrons. Just adoring how interesting and beautiful they are. I want our patrons to say, “hey that image from Paris reminds me of..” Or, “I want to be there…” Or, “that makes me happy.” That’s what your art is about – it moves people and brings them somewhere else. I cannot wait for these amazingly beautiful pieces of beauty to don our walls. Thank you, thank you, thank you… for making this so special for us!! We are that much more excited about the grand opening knowing your images grace the walls!”–Eunice Pak

I just looked at the pictures. And OMG these are amazing! These are all so gorgeous! I literally can not believe this is my daughter! She is shocked at how pretty they are. Her boyfriend is so funny when he looks at the pictures. He just stares at them. He tells her all the time she is pretty and says now these photos prove it. You are an amazing photographer and I feel privileged to spread your name and work around here.”-Angie Long

Susannah! I sent my parents a large canvas of an image of the girls from our shoot. My mother said she sobbed because it was so beautiful. Thank you for these wonderful pictures. You captured their true personalities which no photographer has yet been able to do. We absolutely love them.”– Marien Rodriguez

Thank you so much for capturing our sweet girl! Susannah, you did a fantastic job. We adore these images. I have tears in my eyes looking at these, they’re are just so precious! You are amazing at what you do.”– Kristi & Lance Hallum

Thank you, Susannah, for the wonderful headshots! You made being in front of the camera so much fun! Loved working with you!”-Sandy Ujfalusy

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
