meet the team

As an award-winning Newborn Photographer and Digital Artist, Susannah has worked with over a thousand babies within their first few days of life. It is truly her joy to get to know each tiny human individually. She loves to connect with them, and to listen carefully as they communicate through both body language and vocals. Parents should know that their baby's safety and comfort come before any desired pose -- ALWAYS.

Susannah earned a Bachelors Degree in Fine Art Photography from The University of Delaware, and completed newborn safety training at Abington Memorial Hospital. The combo of having developed her craft on 35mm film before the digital age, plus a decade long career in social work, make her uniquely qualified for the field of newborn photography.

Welcoming a new little one can be equal parts joy and exhaustion. As a mother herself, Susannah is familiar with the challenges and triumphs that accompany the first few weeks of parenthood. Her goal is to ensure that both you and baby relax and enjoy your session, and that you come away from it with lasting memories to display and cherish for a lifetime.

As Creative Designer and Concept Artist at Brookside Baby, Rasheed brings a unique blend of attention to detail and artistic vision to every project.  Having started as an apprentice under Susannah's tutelage in 2019, Rasheed is passionate about continually honing his craft and further developing his keen eye for detail and composition. His collaborative spirit and commitment to excellence make him an invaluable asset to the team.

He's consistently working behind the scenes to bring some of our most fantastic and dynamic backgrounds to life. He particularly excels at collaborating with Susannah to create innovative portraits you won't find anywhere else!

“Susannah is an amazing photographer! Her tiny cottage makes you feel like you are at home. This was so important for my daughter and my granddaughter. Susannah really gets to know the baby and the family that she is working with. She is professional, patient, warm, and has a natural eye for getting that perfect shot that will make your heart melt. Many people have said the photos she took of my granddaughter reminds them of Anne Geddes photos! I can't stop looking at them. My daughter and I continue to get compliments about my granddaughters photos everyday! Even after the session, I've enjoyed my correspondence with Susannah! She's been absolutely wonderful to work with and I am looking forward to using her again in the future!.”  - Lisa C.

“Brookside Baby did such a wonderful job with our baby girl's first photo shoot. I loved everything about our experience! Susannah has beautiful taste from baby clothing, photo shoot concepts, her studio, her packaging, etc! I highly recommend her for any family wanting unique (and stress-free for parents) keepsakes!"  - Caroline R.

“Susannah at Brookside Baby portraits does an amazing job! She spends the time getting to know your family so she knows how to theme the portraits. The whole process was very easy. She is a newborn expert for sure! Highly recommended if you want custom portraiture and not just a flash drive with pictures.”.  -Sarah S.
