About me

Susie Forrester has been working as a professional photographer since 1992. In her commercial work, she specializes in photojournalistic, fine art-style wedding photography and portraits, including pet portraits. She also documents a wide range of subjects as a photographer for a local university. In her fine-art work, Susie has used her unique photojournalistic style to capture an eclectic mix of subjects and people, from the Westminster dog show to circus barkers.

Susie has studied under photographers Larry Fink, Debbie Fleming-Caffrey and photo critic John Szarkowski. She was also the studio manager and printer for Larry Fink. She has taught photography at Blair Academy in Blairstown, New Jersey and at the Baum School of Art in Allentown, Pennsylvania. She also teaches private photo workshops.

Susie is a volunteer photographer for SWAN, the Statewide Adoption and Permanency Network, an adoption program for foster children. An avid runner, she also volunteers for Youth Infusion’s Shape-Up Program, through which she helps kids develop their running techniques. Susie is also a volunteer DJ at WESS, 90.3 FM, East Stroudsburg University’s college radio station. Her passion for music has led her to Music and Memory, a program that brings music to older people in nursing homes.
