Testimonials

We absolutely love Susan! Susan did our maternity and newborn photo shoot and took the most amazing photos. You wouldn’t know that prior to our maternity photo shoot that we had been stuck in traffic for hours as she made us all so comfortable and had our little girl dancing and laughing during the photos. Susan’s photos are just beautiful colors and she captures special moments so well and she got them back to us quickly. We will treasure the photos forever as they captured such a special time in our life Would absolutely recommend Susan!!!

I honestly can’t recommend Susan enough. She’s so personable and really takes the time to make sure you get that perfect shot. We felt so comfortable and the gallery she delivered for our newborn shoot is nothing short of incredible, such beautiful editing and memories that will last a lifetime. Money well spent, and definitely affordable pricing for the outstanding service that’s provided. Thank you so much Susan, you’ll be our forever photographer!

Rachel

We have started a tradition in our family that Susan will capture our photographs once a year! We have done two years running. Susan is someone I now consider a dear friend. Kind, funny and one of the most genuine ladies I have ever met. She gives you photographs with heart, with love in them. They are behind beautiful and we truly admire them on a daily basis. Hands down the best in her Industry

Gemma

I've known Susan for the last 7ish years and my husband around 10years longer than that! There's alot of pressure when you ask a good friend to take family photos. Susan well and truly delivered. Professional, fun, adaptable, she somehow managed to capture some absolutely magic moments of a 6 year old who didnt want to get out of the camera eye and a 2 year old who didnt want to be in front of it. Not only are our photos beautiful but they speak to the vibe of our family. Susan captured all of us in a way that was completely authentically us and we cannot possibly find the words to adequately say thank you! If you're thinking about photos, you will not regret it! Thank you Susan

Amy & Alex

Susan was incredible, and our pics are amazing! We had had the worst night with the kids, none of us had slept, and it was windy as sh!t, but somehow Susan worked her magic on us and every single photo we got back was amazing. Highly recommend, especially if you have little kids. We'll be using Susan for all our family photos from now on x

Kate

I cannot recommend Susan more. She is so patient with clients like myself who over think everything before hand and with our unruly toddlers and takes the challenge on with ease! Her customer service is over and above before and after the photos, the client closet is perfect and the photos themselves always turn out beautifully. Susan is our go-to for our annual family photos 😊

Sarah

AMAZING!! We had our first maternity shoot & newborn shoot done by Susan a couple of years ago & recently returned for a family shoot.. Susan is incredible not only in the final photographs she produces but EVERY LITTLE DETAIL... from communication pre-shoot to making you feel so comfortable & relaxed durning the shoot, right down to having mozzie patches & lollies for the kids! Our 2.5 year old did not make it easy on Susan cracking it about 10mins into the shoot but she was so patient, kind & caring & was still able to capture the most beautiful photos we will cherish forever! We will definitely be back!!

Aimee

We have been using Susan for our family photos now for 3.5 years. We have done 5 amazing photo shoots and I'm just so grateful to have these amazing memories to look at with my family for years to come. She has been amazing to work with from our son being an infant all the way through to a big boy.

The Ribeiro Family

My family recently travelled to the Gold Coast from Central West NSW and had photos done by Susan. As a photographer myself I put a lot of thought and research into a photographer for our beach family shoot I wanted. We couldn’t be happier, we had so much fun and have beautiful photos forever. Communication in the lead up excelled as well. Thank you Susan

Jayde

Susan is incredible! I knew after viewing her Instagram that her style was unique and exactly what I would love to capture with my family. She made us feel so relaxed during our shoot and she managed to photograph so many amazing photos- I'm struggling to pick which ones to display in our home!
I chose the bump to baby package and I'm so excited for Susan to capture some more photos with our newest addition after they arrive.

Belinda

Susan was absolutely wonderful. She oozed kindness and professionalism.
We did the extended family photo sesh, getting photos taken is out of most of the families comfort zone Susan made us all feel at ease and the whole process a piece of cake.
The gallery was full of perfect images.

Thank you Susan, you are the best. Love your style and work!

Chloe

Susan was a wonderful photographer to work with. She understood what we wanted to have for our family photos, and really captured my family. It was a fun afternoon and the time was used very effectively to get heaps of quality photos. The image turn around time was very impressive, and the quality was excellent. Her photo editing and colour choices were great. It resulted in a lovely natural look. She was also really helpful in suggesting places to take the photos, colours to wear on the day, and what to do to get the best shots. I recommend her services, she's great!

Lilly & Stevan

My fiancé and I had the most beautiful maternity shoot with Susan! From the beginning, the communication was smooth and easy and she was very organised in planning the photoshoot for us. The photoshoot itself was also very professional and she made it so fun for us both. The photos she took were absolutely stunning and the finished looks were incredible! We couldn’t recommend Susan enough for not only a maternity shoot but any shoot you would like done and we can’t wait until we can shoot with her again!

Katelyn & Drew

Susan is a very talented photographer with a clear vision of what shots will work. We had an extended family shoot with 8 family members and she made us feel at ease whilst providing clear instructions on what we needed to do to get the shot. She handled my two young children very well and they actually had a lot of fun. But most of all our photos are so beautiful and we now have these wonderful keepsakes to treasure. I will absolutely be using Susan again in years to come.

Holly

I recently had a shoot with Susan and was very impressed! From the moment I arrived with my two children she made me feel at ease. She loaned me a dress from her client wardrobe and also my daughter a flower crown which were both so stunning. The edited photos came back quickly and I ended up paying a little extra than my originally purchased package to get all of the photos because they were all really beautiful. I highly recommend her services. Thank you Susan. You are extremely talented! Can’t wait to book in another session when the children are a little older.

Candice

I have booked Susan twice now and have had a wonderful experience both times. The first shoot was family portraits outdoors, the second was a creative indoor portrait photography for my business. Susan was so fun and friendly both times, and very professional. My photos arrived quickly and they were of an exceptional quality. So happy! Friends and family always comment on our beautiful family photo prints on the wall when they come to visit. Susan is very talented at her craft, and I love her style of photography.

Marielle

I cannot recommend Susan enough! I hired Susan to do a last minute shoot for me recently and I was absolutely blown away with the professionalism, compassion and care Susan took in taking my photos. She made me feel so comfortable, and absolutely celebrated my body in all it's natural form... She new exactly what would photograph well and was able to advise me on what to move and how in order to capture the perfect image. She shared experiences the whole way through and gave ideas and advice on what shots and positions would accentuate my features. There was no shame or uncomfortable moments, and she really made the shoot about the experience, not just the final product. I was left with a whole catalogue of photos I absolutely love, and her online gallery was so easy to navigate. It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The editing and turnaround time was very quick and she communicated well throughout the whole process. I feel so blessed to have experienced a Susan Stafford photography shoot!

If you are considering working with Susan, consider no more! Lock in a date for your shoot before there are no dates left to book!

I engaged Susan to capture the magical moments of my baby girls arrival. I was looking for something magical (definitely not cheesy) that I could look back upon and remember how sweet and tiny and welcomed she was. The results were more than I could have wished for! They photos are divine. 💖 I love sooo many of the shots she took and that blew me away! It wasn’t just a couple of favourites but more like 40 + favourites!

Susan had the ability to be able to put both myself and baby at ease and tap into the magic of the moment in order to get the best out of us both. She made it all flow with ease.

Susan CAPTURES BEAUTIFUL IMAGES!! And made our shoot fun and easy and the level of work that was produced was beyond what I could have wished for. She went above and beyond my expectations and had a keen intuition for what I desired and made it come to life!

She absolutely delivers on what she promises (and then some!), is 100% upfront & honest and is a talented, artistic and creative woman!

Thank you Susan from my heart to yours for the moments in time you captured for my daughter and for me.

I look forward to working with you again!

Mwah!
