So You’re a Photographer… I am so excited to have introduced my photography blog, Susie Marie Photography, just last week! I have a passion for photography and find so much joy in documenting the beauty in everything that I see. I have many photoshoots coming up this year that I am really looking forward to!

Fave Photo editor: Photoshop.

Instagram/Photography Inspiration: Fresh + simple beauty in the world around me.

Fave Blogs/Websites:  If you love photographing food like I do, I definitely recommend checking out David Loftus for inspiration! I also love the blog Two Healthy Kitchens –It has so many unique and healthy recipes!

A lil’ Bit About Otterbein:  I love Otterbein! It is a small university located in Westerville, Ohio. It is so nice to walk across campus and say hello to almost everyone you see. Otterbein is also located directly next to Uptown Westerville, which has adorable shops and fun places to eat.
