Making inappropriate jokes and being a weirdo, since 1983

I’m Susan

Well, hello there!

I've been taking nude self-portaits since I was 19-years-old. And,..I'm now 42! 
Each session brings me confidence, joy, and freedom. It's been such a cool experience to have access to boudoir my whole adult life. 

I'm SO stoked I get to share it with you all, now!!! LOVE YOU!

Thank you, love.

I've been told that I'm funny, talented, and one of the most confident people they know - and to that I say:

(I totally agree ;)

I'm still on the hunt for my favorite dark brown polyester bell-bottoms from 8th grade! I finally decided I just need to design my own version. More to come there! ;) 

I got nicknamed "Disco Sue" because of all the 70's I wore!

My little sister and I would go to the park and take photos and make videos. A lot of times wearing our vintage finds, or the clothes I had re-invented from a thrift haul. 

I was named after my grandmother, Dorthy Delene. Her second husband, and the love of her life, was Van. He gave me my first camera when I was 13, and life has never been the same. 

My middle name is, Delene

As Seen In

I'm an international award-winning Portrait & Boudoir photographer ;)  
My images have been on billboards and magazines, but my favorite place I get to see them, are on my clients' walls! 

I'm always on the lookout for old motel signs and vintage lingerie. Oh! And I need a 60's Pink Cadillac! 

i'm kind of obsessed with self-portraits. it's my favorite form of self care.

I used to work at Glamour shots in 2002.
In a military town, during a time of war, it quickly became a boudoir studio. And I was all about it!

Modeled for a high-school film class and then was asked to buy the picture if I wanted it. I was like..fuck. I do!!! The first time I purchased a photo of myself. And it was a statement bigger than I ever realized. 

Curiosities & Quirks

Oh! And I probably say "That's what she said" too much. But, I mean. She talks a lot. It is what it is.
