The creative behind Sue Shutterbug

My "why" —

My purpose is to use my camera to bring a little extra kindness, confidence, and creativity into the world, one shot at a time. Whether I'm teaching you how to rock the camera or capturing your best self in front of it, I'm here to make you feel seen and valued.

My story —

Starting photography was a big leap for me. I’ve always been a shy person, so the thought of picking up a camera and putting myself out there felt terrifying. But soon, I realized it was exactly what I was meant to do. Starting my business has transformed my life in ways I never imagined. 

If I could go back and tell my 19-year-old self—who first picked up a camera—that in just five years I’d be creating photography advertisements for brands like Adobe and Sony, speaking at workshops, and meeting amazing people every day to help tell their stories, I wouldn’t have believed it.

I am beyond grateful for every client who’s helped turn my dream into a reality. This journey has truly been life-changing, and I’m so excited to continue helping you create beautiful memories.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me —

  • Reading either self-help  or fantasy 
  • Paddleboarding with my dog
  • Dancing (even though I am not good at it)
  • Painting... usually with more paint on me than the canvas
  • Enjoying a strawberry vanilla Olipop

"Genuine passion and enthusiasm"

I have never ever seen Sue miss when it comes to executing a beautiful photo shoot. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is also wonderfully kind, easy to hang out with, and someone who makes all of her clients feel beautiful, confident, and at home. My favorite thing about working with Sue (aside from the great pics) is the fact that you can see the genuine passion and enthusiasm she has for what she does.

"Everything you would want in a photographer."

Sue is absolutely amazing! She is extremely sweet, outgoing, and everything you would want in a photographer. I just recently had my engagement pictures done with her and am in love - she captured exactly what I was looking for. I can't wait for her to shoot my wedding next!! Definitely book her if she is available!

"Sue is a gem of an individual which shows in her work!"

Sue is very professional to work with. She made us feel so comfortable with posing and giving us confidence in front of the camera. I really love that she edits her photos for a more natural look, she really has a keen eye for detail. Her communication was excellent and she was very efficient in delivering our engagement photos in a timely manner. High recommend Sue for any of your photography needs.
