“10 days after delivering my third child I had the opportunity to spend the day at the Brookside Baby studio. I stepped into the most calming, welcoming studio I’ve ever seen. Each detail was creatively thought out, from the hangers for each tiny outfit, to the fresh fruit and snacks for the new moms. It’s simply beautiful and so was this experience. Susannah is what you might call a baby whisperer. I’ve never seen someone calm a baby so quickly. For four hours my ten day old son peacefully slept, while she captured moments that we will have forever. For that, I’m truly grateful.”

“Working with Susannah was incredible. She was totally prepared with incredible and adorable props, backgrounds, and outfits for the baby. Susannah was amazing with our 3 year old and kept her engaged the entire time. She made the entire session relaxed and fun...no easy feat with a 3 year old, a newborn, and sleep deprived parents! We were blown away at our photo reveal. We were in tears after the first picture, and the tears did not stop. Susannah was able to capture the personality of each of our children perfectly. The photos were truly amazing and are something we will cherish forever.”

“Susannah is a star! She not only took breathtakingly stunning photos of my two grandchildren, she captured a glimpse of their precious souls. It’s rare to see such talent and professionalism, to say nothing of the fact that she made the whole process so much fun for everyone! In the family pictures, Susannah captured the invisible, but very real and loving bonds between this beautiful family, making those bonds tangible and memorializing this special moment in time. I actually cried when I saw the slide show she put together! Susannah is a natural; a natural photographer, a natural with people – she not only creates amazing photos, she creates memories to last a lifetime and beyond!”
