Suzanne Sagmeister Photography

Suzanne, thank you so much for your generosity, professionalism, kindness and your ability to capture the heart of our organization. One of the uses we have for these photos is for a presentation we will be making at our Dine& Dance Event. This year we are celebrating 25 years of serving the Peace Area Community and adding these photos to the presentation will definitely add the "WOW" factor that I have been looking for in marking this milestone. Thank you also to all those individuals who have left such kind words about PARDS on Suzanne's page. If you are interested in attending our Dine & Dance, it will be held on Saturday, November 14th at 5 Mile Hall. Tickets are $50 and are available by calling (780)538-3211.

Suzanne, you truly are a beautiful, intuitive and AMAZING photographer! The sets we did in my studio, on the land, and the subsequent road show, were events that unfolded into something so much more than wonderful photgraphs.... after the shoot I started reviewing the whole process, and it felt like I had just played the role in a small film on the life of an artist! It just played out that way for me....

Thank you for the cd... the delivery guy was kinda cute too! ;)
In reviewing the photos, and trying to figure which ones will be used for promo purposes, I fiind you have captured so many different parts of the whole picture, the different parts of the person that make up who I am. It's a continuing process in finding the real me, the true purpose in my life, how I want to present my work. How I want to paint the picture of who I am and what I do! And so much more!

Your talents are awesome, YOU are awesome. You listened to my story, and offered ideas and suggestions, and I am more than pleased with results.

Suzanne, you really do rock!

So I was excited when I have the opportunity dropped in my lap by a friend. Then we had our session and my excitement grew. I looked everyday for my sneek peek album. And when I got my reward, the were worth everything and then some. The pictures are incredible. My kids never look so beautiful and perfect. You are more than talented. You are truely gifted. Yes your photos are amazing but it's the spirit and enthusiasm that you bring with that makes the experience special. To me it was an experience and not just some photo session. Please continue to share your passion with the world because the world needs to see it's own beauty.


So this is my add-on to the first review. We had a session when my parents came from NL. And if it's at all possible, this session was better than the first. I'm so please. Again that spirit makes it truely an experience capturing wonderful family memories. If you didn't know already Suzanne and Shane you will be capturing all of my special family moments. Don't you ever let that adventurous spirit wane....although I don't think it ever could:))))

The most amazing photographer ever! Thanks so much for taking such great pictures of our family, we love the pictures of our little boys!! We are so happy that you were able to capture moments of our little guys on film in their own environment just hanging out. We look forward to booking you again in the near future.

Ansel Adams, one of the world's most famous photographers once said a "great photograph" is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense. He said that a "true photograph" need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words. Suzanne created "great and true photographs" for my family.

Myself and my two boys hate having our picture taken and there is not a lot of our family photos that truly capture the love we share between us. Posing uprightly with a cheesy smile is not my idea of capturing the essence of a family and Suzanne's style and talent is not about that.

With incredible ease, Suzanne managed to make us feel comfortable, to capture our relationship and our love, our new life and new family composition. Suzanne captured these moments in a fun and exciting environment dealing with whatever was thrown at her. (even a stowaway dog!) She is creative, she is artistic, she is a truly talented photographer. It's only been weeks since our photo shoot and already I want to spend more time with her and capture more memories with my sons.

I can guarantee you won't be disappointed with her work and the memories she will create for your family. She is our own local Ansel Adams and we truly all should be blessed we have access to her amazing talent. Thank you Suzanne for keeping the great memories of my children's childhood and the journey of my life from running away. These moments in time will be proudly displayed in my home for me and all of the other important people in my life to enjoy and reflect upon. Until next shoot...

Suzanne is truly a talented photographer, Me and my mother heard about her through some friends and took a look at her profile and photo's realizing she would be absolutely perfect to do my grad. one thing that people should know first before i go further is how very camera shy i am, i honestly try to refrain from posing in front of a lens as much as possible. When i let Suzanne and Shane know this right away they said no problem.. we will have fun with it, and thats exactly what we did. It was a blast!!! i was laughing and smiling the whole time and when i would get nervous suzanne would shower me with compliments to help me relax and feel more confident lol. She made me very comfortable and Shane supplied the giggles. Aside from the friendly atmosphere though, the photographs turned out absolutely stunning, i loved them, it was more than anything i could have hoped for. Suzanne managed to find all the right angles and the finished products were perfect . Suzanne has a gift and i wouldn't hesitate for a second to recomend her to anyone looking for great pictures, She captured a gorgeous side of me i never knew i had.

Thanks so much again Suzanne and Shane, you'll defiantely be hearing from me again in the future.

Can't wait to have our wedding pictures done!
Thanks again, talk to you soon.

Suzanne and Shane, you two are an amazing team! Your ease and comfort with who you are and what you do helped us to just have some fun and roll with the afternoon. We all agreed that the experience was incredible and something we want to do again.....once the grandchildren arrive. The pictures are unbelievable and beyond words...........hard to describe the full impact of what they mean to us......'they uplift us and make us proud of who we are, where we come from, and where we are going as a family.' We are soooo happy that you were sent our way to do our first family photos!!!! Muhsi Cho (meaning a huge heartfelt thank you) from our family to yours. The Birds

p.s. Our families are so impressed. You will likely be hearing from them in the future.
