My name is Suzanne Thompson. I enjoy photography, dining at non-chain restaurants, trying new vegetarian recipes, reading, blogging, and exploring new locations...the three most valuable are family, faith, and friends.
I was born in England, moved to Ethiopia when I was four, then to America when I was seven. In American, I have lived in eight states. Bob and I were married in January 2010 and we currently live in California and North Carolina.
Today I joined the LA Shoot This group for their six month anniversary photo session in Venice Beach. It’s a hang out place for lots of unique people…and sunglass wearing pitbulls! It was starting to get dark as I headed back to my car and it isn’t a place I felt comfortable with a big...
I was so excited today as my new Shootsac arrived. This was the complimentary one that I received from Jessica Claire as part of Thirst Relief mentor session with [b]ecker. I’m really looking forward to trying it at the photoshoot in Venice Beach on Sunday.

This weekend I had the opportunity to be a second shooter at Wayfarers Chapel for a wedding. I loved it! Here’s one of the pictures…more to come.
Today, I got to finally meet Steve’s pomeranian. She has lots of personality and loves to be around people.
Bob and I have been having a great time WPPI. We’ve enjoyed meeting new people and visiting with friends. We’ve gone to several presentations and have been enjoying everything there is to learn. Today, we became proud new owners of a Canon 5D Mark II and 50mm f1.2 lens. We had talked about getting them...
Bob and I were really excited to travel to Vegas for WPPI. For fun, we decided to drive north on 395, then go east through Death Valley as neither one of us had been there. About 20 miles from home, we got a ticket for overtaking a really slow car and when we pulled back...
I was so excited today to drive 90 miles to Mission Viejo for the mentoring session with the [b]ecker. At my day job, it was month end close which means a really busy week, but this was a time that [b]ecker had suggested, so I was delighted to spend a 90 minute lunch with him....
