Susan and Cliff are not only amazing photographers; they take the time to get to know everyone, teach as often as possible, provide a variety of opportunities to create memories and images, are the groups’ biggest cheerleaders, are flexible and approachable! Their workshops are 2nd to none!

“Cliff, Susan and everyone, the more I look at my pictures I realize how special this trip was. Susan and Cliff worked so hard to show us the beauty of our country and I’ll never forget it. But what was also so special was the friends I made and the love and support they showed me. I never felt alone or afraid, someone was by my side whenever I needed it and without me asking. You can’t image how special that was for me, the care you showed me was so special. There are so many antidotes that I’m telling my husband and sometimes I just start to laugh so hard I can’t speak, he thinks I’m nuts. This was such a special group of people, I’ll never forget any of you.

“I was visiting NYC from California, and Susan is welcoming to students of all levels and capabilities. She is very nimble at shifting from basic exposure conversations to more complex techniques. She also is a wealth of ideas for creative approaches to create images, not just take pictures. It is also fantastic that she is always willing the learn and try new approaches.”

Thanks Cliff and Susan. You made this trip so memorable, and all of these photo and video clips are the result of your hard work, and the love you put into everything you do. I look forward to a lifetime of friendship.

““This was a super trip! The degree of planning was so evident, and second only to your knowledge and ability to share that knowledge with others. I particularly liked the range of shooting opportunities and the low student/teacher ratios...particularly helpful in editing. Your energy, flexibility and patience brought so much to the experience.”

“So we have all heard the expression “it blew my mind”. Well yesterday, I think my mind was blown by your fall photography workshop.  

I can’t believe how much I learned, by what was said and demonstrated, but just by being in the presence of such talent. The most important thing I learned is that I am very close to being able to make amazing images (besides the ones I always called “my accidents”). 

I just have to set aside my ‘capture it all’ approach and engage with more discipline and thoughtfulness. For what I paid, I feel a bit like I stole from you.  

Because it wasn’t just the technical and artistic knowledge I received, but rather, I feel like I have been given the keys to an exclusive club I have been trying to gain access to for some years now. I think the confidence I received from the workshop is going to have a carry-over effect. So perhaps this feeling will wear off, or subside. But the gate is unlocked now.”

“I’ve been to two meet ups and they were both welcoming. You can tell Susan has a desire to share her love of photography with others. I’ve been a photographer for many years and would have no problem answering any questions you may have and I’m sure they wouldn’t have either. Think of it this way. You’ll see some wonderful photographs. You see how they may be improved. And, you may be inspired.”

“Had a great time!! A really fun group. Always enjoy seeing the different ways that each of us sees the same subjects. Susan and Mike were very knowledgeable and terrific teachers. I learned a lot in the short time we were together.

Susan makes photoshop and Lightroom look so simple while turning images into beautiful art. Very inspiring to continue learning and practicing. Harriman Park is highly recommended to take your camera out. Thanks for an awesome day!”

“We went to Sedona for the summer experience. We learned so much and had a blast too. It doesn’t matter what your experience or skill level is... It’s worth it. Join Susan on an adventure if you can”
