Hi, I’m Susie: a lifelong dancer, photographer, and creative sharing my journey through ballet and life behind the scenes.

I trained pre-professionally in ballet growing up but stepped away after two hip surgeries in my mid-twenties. After seven years away from the studio, a pandemic, and becoming a mom, I returned to ballet in 2022. The comeback hasn’t been easy, but it’s deeply fulfilling. My current goal is to get back on pointe.

I’m also a professional gymnastics and dance photographer, photographing NCAA and elite gymnastics competitions as well as dance performances.

I’m a late-diagnosed autistic adult, which shapes how I experience creativity and life. 🩵
