“In spite of all the odds, i’m glad you found me.” - RealFunWow

Hi, I’m Susi…

I’ve been taking pictures of all things under the sun since I was 10. Developing in dark rooms with my dad and learning through trial and error. My dad always documented our childhood, filling albums with beautiful images from the film he developed. My style mirrors that 70’s vibe in editing.

To my clients…

Some days it feels like a dream to call this my job. Every family, child, business, or self-love session I’ve done has impacted my life in so many ways. Big or small, I love the connections I’ve made with all my clients. For someone to be wide open and share their authenticity with me is a gift that is soul-feeding.

Anyone can produce a good photograph. But for me, it’s breaking the rules and being myself that allows me to hold space for magic. You can do the same, sensationally!

My heart chases after those out-of-the-ordinary, unposed, and true-to-you images. Now, let’s watch your story unfold together.

A few of my loves…
