- BI Magazine editors
"Susan Farley is a consummate artist. Her approach to photography is comprehensive and accessible. She gets to know you personally and then calms you enough to allow your true self to emerge in the photos. Her recommendations as to optimal clothing and make up (if indicated) was so helpful. She chose an outstanding location and took everything into consideration including the time of day for optimal lighting and crowd avoidance (in my case).
What I especially loved about working with Susan was that she made me feel comfortable in the context of the camera. Usually stilted and self conscious in front of a camera, she helped me to see the camera only as an extension of her self, so that she talked me through to a comfort level which really helped to optimize the beauty and grace of the photographs.
She is professional and experienced and every minute working with her all of that came through, as well as her warmth and commitment. Sensitive and responsive, I can't imagine a better combination in a photographer for any event you have in mind.
I can't recommend her enough. Thanks Susan!,"
