Susie O'Connor, MPA
Welcome to my website. I’m glad you’re here!!
Now the awkward “tell me about yourself” section. Just kidding, I’m basically an open book. Fun fact, I’ve visited 32 countries, which only leaves 163 left to discover. I have a deep love for travel and seeking new adventures.
The bucket list keeps growing.
Here’s a few really quick get to know me stats and what fuels my soul. The fresh air of the Rocky Mountains, kayaking with my snuggle pup, diving in exotic warm waters with my husband, indulging in amazing food and incredible wine; and please, saturate me in culture of any kind. I love learning new things and being challenged. I’m not a workout junkie but I enjoy the gym, mostly to counteract my passionate love of food but it also centers me and keeps me strong.
I’ve loved photography for many years. In an age where anyone can take Selfies with the tap of a button, classic portraiture sometimes feels like a lost art. Here at Images Studios Photographic Arts, we’re blending a fun & fresh style with time-honored elements to create natural and relaxed portraits that will last for generations.
Growing up in a family owned photography business I understand and value freezing moments in time. I’m blessed to have had the opportunity to work side by side with my father and advance together artistically through the years. Continuing education is important in keeping me inspired and motivated. I’m a proud member of the Professional Photographers of Canada in which I earned my Master of Photographic Arts designation and won many provincial and national accolades. Most recently I was awarded Portrait Photographer of the Year in Alberta.
That’s just a humble brag to let you know I’ve been around for a while and I’ve got some decent skills.
I work in my Cold Lake studio and on location, and I’m always happy to travel. My services extend to the Lakeland area including Bonnyville, St. Paul, Lac La Biche and Lloydminster as well as traveling to our beautiful Canadian Rockies in the Jasper and Banff national parks.
Every image tells a story, come celebrate life with me. I’m excited about telling your story through photography.
