Hi, I am Susan Smelley.

I have been taking photographs for as long as I can remember. I studied photography at the Birmingham School of Photography under the instruction of Parastoo "Paris" Farzad. In 2015, I was truly blessed to begin Susan Smelley Photography. Since then, I have continued my education by taking online classes and retreats. Becoming a member of a variety of professional, educational groups helps me stay up-to-date with the latest news, developments, and trends in the world of photography.

I strive to capture emotions, memories, and experiences in every image. I love to have fun with my clients and create an enjoyable experience with every session. Beginning in 2020, I have decided to focus more on newborn photography. Furthering my education, I have begun to invest in a wealth of newborn classes and retreats.

I still get nervous before every session, and I still squeal in excitement at the sight of an awesome shot! I hope I always do!!!
