“I’ve always been camera shy and yet held a deep desire and more recently, a need for professional photos that captured the essence of who I am. Susan has an amazing gift of being able to see and bring forth inner beauty and capture it with her camera. She provided a safe, nonjudgmental environment that allowed me to build trust and unfold naturally. Her relaxed manner and gentle guidance invited me to reveal my authentic self in front of the camera – a first for me. I am delighted with the results and feel a greater sense of empowerment and confidence. The entire process was affirming – it was an unforgettable experience for me.”

“Susan has the unique ability to bring to life the energy and spirit of individuals in her photographs. This is aptly demonstrated in the portraits she took of my grandson Rory, where you can see his real personality shining through. My family has had the pleasure of having Susan take both individual and group portraits. Her work is truly magical and she is a delight to work with.”

“The USS Hornet Museum chose Susan Wood to be the event photographer for Splashdown 2009, its major celebration of the 40th anniversary of the recovery of Apollo 11. Susan’s ability to ‘capture the moment’ shines through the wide variety of photos she has taken, from wildlife to family portraits. We are very pleased with her work – shooting action scenes in a variety of lighting situations and above all, making her subjects feel very comfortable in front of her camera lens, including the 2nd human to walk on the moon, astronaut Buzz Aldrin.”

“I recently had the pleasure of doing a photo session with Susan Wood Photography. Having worked in the music industry for over 30 years I’ve had my fair share of photo shoots and feel Susan brought both professionalism and artistry to the session in her efforts to capture the look we were trying to get. Moreover, I was pleasantly surprised at the way Susan was quick to try different approaches and always had new ideas to resolve any concerns I may have had. I highly recommend working with Susan if you get the chance, especially if you feel you are one of those people, who like myself, feel you can never get a good picture.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed working with Susan. She is so much fun to work with and we had a blast shooting photos together. Susan worked extremely hard to get not just one perfect photograph, but dozens. I felt like I could be myself and be beautiful. I didn’t have to fake a smile or a pose for the faultless photograph, it all came naturally and there was so much beauty within that. I was comfortable in my own skin and walked away wanting to share the pictures and my experience with everyone I knew. There was excitement and life in every picture – my eyes were sparkling in every photo, something only a true artist can capture. Susan is an amazing photographer, grasping every precious moment in the studio. I can’t wait to work with her again!”
