Priceless
Give your Family The GIFT OF
Hi, I'm Susan, a published photographer, providing Raleigh and Wake Forest family and motherhood photography in a fun and relaxing setting. I am an outdoor photographer and my style is colorful and crisp. Photography has been a passion of mine for many years, but it wasn't until I had my first child that I decided to turn the passion into a career. So I quit my engineering job and learned everything I could about photography and editing in order to create timeless portraits of my own children to hang on my walls. I can't wait to create memories for your family to help capture your different stages of life.

"We booked Susan for her sunflower mini sessions and I was totally blown away with the results! Not only did she manage to get each one of our girls’ personality to shine through but also group shots that we will cherish. Susan was wonderful from booking through delivery of our photos and you can tell that she truly loves what she does and treats each client as a VIP. Thank you again Susan!"

"Susan did such an amazing job with our family photos. Our 3 year olds were all over the place but she was able to keep their attention and get some great pics. We are so happy with how they turned out and will definitely ask her to take pictures for us again in the future."

"I am truly blown away with how incredible our family photos came out! Susan was beyond amazing to work with and even more amazing working with my kids (ages 2&5) to get the perfect shots. I cannot stop looking at them and I cannot wait to hire her for more family photos. If you are looking for a photographer who knows what they are doing and want breath taking photos that will last a lifetime Susan is the one you want!"

Heather & Family
"Susan VanNess is incredibly talented with such a keen eye for photography. She knows how to use her environments, capture beautiful lighting, and how to advise the client on how to move/pose to flatter your body. The shoots are always low stress and easy to relax during because you know she has it under control and you will get high quality shots of your family. Lifelong client (as long as she'll have me!)"
