Born from grief.
Built in love.
Sustained by hope.
The Birth of a Calling (2018)
A traumatic birth.
A NICU stay.
A world that suddenly felt very fragile.
Susan’s daughter survived.
But not every family on that floor went home with their baby.
This changed her forever.
When a Camera Becomes a Lifeline (2020)
With seven years of photography experience, Susan was asked to take photos of a baby who had passed.
Final photos.
First and last memories.
And she realized something:
Not everyone gets a lifetime of memories, but every family deserves the chance to hold onto the ones they have.
Walking Into Sacred Spaces (2020–2024)
For four years, Susan walked into hospital rooms where grief lived.
Not as a photographer — but as someone willing to hold space.
In room after room, she saw the same heartbreaking truth:
Families were grieving in silence,
and professionals were unprepared to support them.
The Loss That Became the Catalyst (2024)
When Susan’s close friend and biggest cheerleader, Erika, lost her daughter Glory Bee, everything shifted.
They realized East Texas needed more than photos.
Families needed care.
Professionals needed training.
Communities needed language and support.
So together, they built it.

Born from grief.
Built in love.
Sustained by hope.
So no family walks through loss alone,
and no professional goes into those moments unprepared.
