Three, Is the Magic Number: Rhode Island Baby Photographer

After capturing the wedding of Arianna’s parents, Danielle & Matt, two years ago, Danielle became a dear friend. I am always excited to hear life updates from my wedding clients about new home purchases, job changes and pregnancies. So when Danielle called to tell me she was pregnant with their first child, I was truly…

Sweet Baby Jack & Big Brother Ben: Rhode Island Newborn & Family Photographer

I simply adore this beautiful, growing family – Mama Alyson, toddler Ben & newborn baby brother, Jack. The sweetness and silliness of little ones cuddling their mom and running around with squeals and laughter (and diaper changes!) brought back so many fond memories of my own son’s childhood. The weather was warm, the sun was…

Sweet Little Newborn, Arianna: Rhode Island Baby Photographer

Last week I had the honor of visiting my friends, Matt & Danielle, and meeting their beautiful newborn daughter just hours after she had arrived in this world. For me, it is such an honor to have a couple choose me to capture their life’s progression and ultimately their visual history. We started with their…

Seaside & Gardens: Narragansett & South Kingstown, Rhode Island Family Photographer

About Susan

My wedding and portrait photography business is located in the heart of South County, Rhode Island close to URI and the scenic, south coast beaches. I grew up here and feel so lucky to be able to work and create in such a beautiful location! My approach to photography is much like my approach to life: creative, relaxed, natural and fun. I would describe my style as a blend of candid & photojournalistic with traditional & artistic images. I love taking the time to create some beautiful, romantic portraits of my brides & grooms, but also the spontaneous moments throught the wedding day. 

I consider my website and blog a place where I can visually journal about the amazing people and places I get to photograph. Not only do I consider myself exceptionally lucky to be making a living taking photographs for people at important moments in their lives, but I also get to meet an amazing cross section of people I might not otherwise get to know. In the ten years I have been in business, I have had the chance to photograph couples riding high on the excitement of their recent engagement, on their wedding day, parents-to-be waiting to meet their new child, newborn babies, children marking milestone birthdays and families who want to remember a certain time in their lives by capturing it in a photographic portrait.  

In more recent years, I have had the opportunity to photograph the weddings of younger siblings and friends of previous wedding clients, and the maternity, newborn and family portraits of couples whose weddings I photographed in years past. It feels amazing to know my creative vision of these occasions is a part of their lives and their family history and I am grateful for each and every one of them. When I say I love what I do, it is from a genuine place. I can't imagine doing anything else and feeling as creativly satisfied and pleased to make my clients happy.  

I studied photography at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) for undergraduate school and received a Master of Fine Arts degree from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.
