Hello!

I'm Susan. I am a wife to my best friend Scott and a Mama of 4 busy boys. We are doing our best to raise them with kind hearts and loving our big God. I love Saturdays,  laughing with my husband, watching our boys play, visiting family and watching children grow. I do my best to treasure each day. I love warmth and comfort, peace and quiet and I LOVE beautiful photos.

I am blessed to have wonderful friends who have encouraged me with my photography passion. Because of them I have been happily serving clients in the Des Moines area since 2011. I specialize in creating stylish senior portraits and fun family photos. I would love to capture some of those moments for you, and get to know you and your family better.

"Thank YOU FOR MAKING MY SENIOR PICTURES SO EASY AND SO MUCH FUN!"

-Antonia, class of 2018

I had heard great things about Jake and his kindness towards others. I had seen his soft smile at school, on the football field, with his friends but I didn’t know him. I loved spending this time with Jake, his Mom and my sophomore son came as well. Jake is someone who I knew he looked up to, and after spending a couple of hours with him…I can see why.

Capturing photographs should be fun for everyone…and yes, I have even had high school boys surprised at how much FUN candid photography can be! This article will tell you what to expect from your Twig & Daisy portrait experience as well as provide tips, FAQ's and clothing suggestions.

What to expect from a Twig & Daisy Session

The question I get the most often before photo shoots is “What do we wear?” I get this question with seniors, couples and most often with families. HOW do you pull together a look that coordinates without being matchy-matchy? Enter my friend and stylist, Ann. She has a gift for pulling together colors, patterns, textures, layers and looks of anyone that I know.
