The Beginning:
Susan Stanton first discovered the magic of photography while still in school. She won various competitions and placed highly in the National Scholastic Art Awards Program. Upon graduation, she was given a full scholarship in photography, but chose to pursue a career in business.
The Transition:
Susan owned and operated her own business for over a decade, but she missed her creative outlet. In 1998, her husband surprised her with a new camera ... and she hasn’t put it down since!
Having fallen in love with the region while on vacation, she sold her business and in 2002, relocated to WNC to follow her dream -- a career in photography.
