Hey, I’m Susan, award winning photographer, multi-passionate visual storyteller, and nomad-at-heart who loves Chicago as my home base. A photographer since 2nd grade, with over two decades experience in the nonprofit sector managing data and communicating for impact, I bring my passions and skills together to provide an array of creative and business services for individuals and organizations.

Photos and Gifts
Photos and Gifts
Purchase award-winning photography as a unique gift or home decor. Shop my photography store for framed art, blankets and pillows, and other photo gifts. You'll find scenes from Chicago and my travels across the United States, as well as Europe - mostly Ireland, Munich, Vienna, and Valencia.
Available for immediate digital download / print-at-home formatted, I have a Scenes of Chicago journal and an 18-month calendar, filled to the brim with gorgeous Chicago photography by me!
Printed journal and calendar available here.
Exploring Chicago
Exploring Chicago
A life-long Chicagoan, I love sharing my city with locals and visitors. My interests are focused on art, architecture, Lake Michigan and the Chicago River, and social justice history.
🗺️ I offer a selection of self-guided Chicago tours - half-day or full-day that include place descriptions and a Google map - Purchase self-guided tours.
📃 Want a custom tour for your team retreat, family reunion, board meeting? Contact me at least 14 days before your visit, and I'll create something magical for you!
📷 I lead art & architecture walking tours in downtown Chicago, which double as cell phone camera workshops - Done for 2025, but we'll be back in March 2026.

Nonprofit Communications
For nonprofits and grantmakers, I manage your external communications channels, so you can focus on your mission. I develop content calendars; write and publish blog posts, newsletters, and social media content; and source, organize, and create visuals for various communications channels.
Need better photo documentation of events, programs, and meetings? Want a creative staff retreat experience? I also do group cell phone photography workshops.
