Hi, I'm Suszi
(or Suz ... they are truly interchangeable)!

​I am an award-winning portrait photographer located in Sunnyvale.

 

I like big clunky jewelry and funky clothes.

 

I love my silver hair.

 

I don’t normally wear makeup, but when I do, I want lashes that you can see from space.

 

I am a huge musical theatre geek and lover of fiction.

 

I need to work out more and take off the Covid pounds.

 

I still bite my nails.

 

I am obsessed with my dog.

 

I believe that Black Lives Matter, women’s rights are human rights, and drag queens make the world a better place.

 

I am beautiful and strong.

 

I am good at what I do.

My business reflects my values by offering a safe, inclusive space for clients to be 100% themselves. Together we create images that can change the way you see yourself – so that you can go out and show the world what you’re made of.
