50 over 50, Before & After Susanna Tanner 50 over 50, Before & After Susanna Tanner

Susanna has photographed me several times, but this experience (50 over 50) felt much more vulnerable. She did a great job of putting me at ease, and exploring with me what I wanted to get out of the experience ahead of time. She really took her time, offered her input but also encouraged me to do what felt most comfortable for me. I am recommending the 50 over 50 project to all of my friends!

Initially, I was apprehensive about being a participant in Susanna’s project. You see, I do not like being photographed. However, after talking with her about the project, I realized it was more to it than just being photographed. It is about telling my story to possibly help others. This photoshoot was a great experience for me. Susanna takes pride in her work, which is reflected in the photographs she takes. Susanna thank you for your patience & revealing a small glimpse of my personality.

As I was presented with this gift I was very apprehensive about having my picture taken. I had never had a professional photo taken, so I was a little concerned. However I received a phone call from Susanna and she explained everything and spent lots of time answering my questions. Susanna reassured me of what to expect. I arrived at her studio and was blown away by Susanna and her ability to make me feel completely at ease. She took her time and made me feel so comfortable. Then I received the phone call that my photo's were ready . I called my daughter and son to ask them to go to see the end results. I cannot believe the photo's were beautiful. I never liked having my picture taken. However Susanna brought out the best in me. Thanks again for making me feel so special. If you ever were considering a professional photo shoot I would definitely recommend Susanna Tanner Photography.

Susanna was so well prepared to answer all of our questions and put my mother at ease before her photo shoot. The time she took to make our mom’s experience so special was obvious. When we went to view the pictures Susanna was extremely organized and made the process much easier. We have had the pleasure of having Susanna shoot our daughter’s senior pictures and had our mom participate in the project of capturing 50 women over the age of 50. I would highly recommend her for any of your photography needs. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Susanna for capturing some beautiful moments for our family.

Her photos reflect my character, my style, and my power and an independent and hard working woman. I love the way my photos turned out and she captured the very best of me in my shoot. Thank you!”

“…this opportunity became one that I will always treasure”

“Susanna and I crossed paths by chance and a mutual friend who connected us for a project; however, this opportunity became one that I will always treasure due to Susanna's friendly demeanor, upmost professionalism, and outstanding talent. We immediately connected, and that led to an amazing experience for me. She made me feel at ease in front of the camera, and her personality is welcoming, genuine, and positive. I consider her a friend, and I am thankful for this - probably more than she realizes”

“It gave me a new outlook on aging.”

“Today, I did something so unlike me. I had a series of professional photographs taken of me to celebrate my 80th birthday. I knew the photographs would be nice, but I was amazed at the result. She was delightful to work with. Susanna was able to reflect back the many parts of who I am. The shoot was a lot of fun, and the process was very interesting. It gave me a new outlook on aging. The process of selecting the photographs I liked from the many she presented was also a learning experience, as she saw things in each photo I did not immediately see. I developed more confidence in myself, and developed stronger feelings about my passions. I’m so very glad I decided to experience a photo shoot with Susanna.”

“My pictures are definitely keepsakes.”

“Susanna Tanner Photography, according to my friends, struck a home run in capturing my personality and spirit. I didn’t know what to expect but she made me very comfortable and to my surprise had a substitute for a dress I really wasn’t excited about. Her substitution was perfect and set the tone for our entire photoshoot! I would encourage every woman no matter the age to treat yourself to a great photoshoot. My pictures are definitely keepsakes.

“The experience was truly as priceless as the photos themselves.”

“Working with Susanna Tanner made my senior photo experience so special! Not only was she extremely open about the creative process, but she provided an extremely comfortable environment to express ideas. The safe atmosphere helped take away a lot of the common-place awkwardness and we worked together to capture memories my family and I will be so fond of for years to come. The photo-taking process was a joy, and the reveal and conversation about the final products were very thoughtfully presented. The experience was truly as priceless as the photos themselves!
