Meet Susan
About Susan
I'm a mom to 4 grown kids, 4 grandkids & two very feisty cats. All kids have left the nest, except for one. He's 16 - so I'm super close to being an empty nester! (Not sure how I feel about that). Photography has been my hobby since high school, and has been my career since 2015. It's what I love - being behind the camera is my happy place My job is to make you feel just as happy (and comfortable!) in front of it.
I like to create a fun and relaxed atmosphere during sessions by mixing in some music, laughter, and (really bad) jokes to help my clients look their best.
About Rachael
I've been working in portraits and headshots for over 15 years, and I bring creativity and vision to every session. I love working with families in particular - no toddler is too spunky and no teenager is too moody for me to get great photos no matter what!
I’m a mom of 4 and a foster mom to a sweet little baby. When I’m not in the studio, I’m speaking at photography conferences or relaxing by playing my violin or fly fishing.
Now, Susan and I have joined forces and merged our talents and studios under the umbrella of Susan Heard Photography. We're combining our expertise to offer unparalleled photography experiences, creating beautiful, lasting memories for our clients.
HEADSHOT and BRANDING Clients
For our businesses, especially now, with zoom meetings, virtual shoppers, digital and print marketing – our look is so vital. First impressions are often not in person, but on a brochure or on our website.
Our goal is to help empower your business with impactful images that will help you stand out by giving the best first impression possible.
Whether you’re a CEO, small business owner, or an entrepreneur, every image we capture is for your success.
Our specialties range from simple and eye-catching headshots to customized personal branding images for businesses of all sizes. Our corporate clients value the professionalism and efficiency while our individual clients value the attention to detail and personal approach.
In short, our business is all about your business. Your success is our mission.
FAMILY PORTRAIT Clients
For family portraits - capturing those moments in life is so important. The legacy that we leave behind for our grandchildren and their children can be seen in our photos hundreds of years from now. How amazing is that?
There are many reasons why families love coming to our studio. Some of my favorite comments:
“I was so dreading coming in because I do NOT like having my portrait taken. But you made this so much fun!”
“I can’t thank you enough for helping me plan our wardrobe… this is the hardest part of preparing for our portraits, and you took that stress away.”
“You actually got our teenager to smile!”
We walk our clients through each step of planning for their portraits. From the style of portraits taken, clothing choices, to where your art will be displayed in your home. We want you to enjoy the process while we create lasting memories in beautiful art that your family will enjoy for generations.
There is never a better moment than right now to put your best "you" out there.
