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.
