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.
Enjoyed spending the afternoon and evening at the Old Ranch Country Clubin Seal Beach. After we took lots of photographs, they served a great meal that started with the creative salad below (last picture). The flowers were provided by French Buckets Florist.
What a gorgeous afternoon to spent at the part taking photographs. It was fun getting together with the LA Shoot This group today led by Joelle Leder. g/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_3891.jpg” alt=”” title=”IMG_3891″ width=”450″ height=”600″ class=”aligncenter size-full wp-image-1434″ /> ” data-image=”http://www.suzannereidphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_4167.jpg” data-site=”Suzanne Thompson”> ” data-image=”http://www.suzannereidphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_4167.jpg” data-site=”Suzanne Thompson”>
Yesterday and today, I had the opportunity to attend the Escalate Live in Newport Beach, CA. Bob was going to attend too, but had to go to Washington DC to receive the award in the prior post (click here to read about it). I was able to meet up with Matthias from Vohwinkel Photography in...
Bob arrived today, and we went to Temecula. We hadn’t been back there since out hot air balloon ride when we were engaged, so it was fun to go back. Bob had an appointment in San Diego, so he dropped me off at the Shootout in Temecula and when he got back, the shootout was...
It was fun meeting with the LA Shoot This Group today in Walnut Park. Thanks to Greg Bumatay and Kerry Garrison for teaching the groups I was in. Thanks also to Joelle Leder for organizing another even. The two little boys in the pictures are brothers. Also, great cupcakes to sample! Yummy!
The speaker for Thursday evenings OC SmugMug Meeting was Tofurious. Before he started his presentation, we were able to look at a copy of the Grace Ormond book, “being in love never goes out of style“. It’s a large, 416 page, 10+ pound book of gorgeous wedding photographs. As the book was so large, we...
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...
Today Greg Bumatay was teaching a workshop about wedding photography in Santa Ana, CA. As I was attending some corporate business in court (in Santa Ana) I was only going to be a couple miles away. I was hoping my services would finish by 3:00, so I could attend the workshop…or at least part of...
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...
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....
