Sharon Suh Photography

We’ve had the pleasure to work with Sharon.
She is a true artist. Exactly what we were looking for. My husband and I are not fans of the usual beach family photos where family members wear the same coordinating outfits. We wanted spontaneity, uniqueness, photos that tell a story which captures us in the natural way. Sharon understood that completely, in fact, that is her work aesthetics. She was great with our 22 month toddler. We highly recommend her!

I booked a family photo session with Sharon and the whole experience was great! She came to my house as it was suggested since I had a 3 year old and a 9 month old. The children would feel most comfortable at home and it would show in the pictures. And it did! From her bag of toys and treats to entertain and get my 3 yo to smile, laugh and play to her assistant watching my infant son for a quick second so my husband and I could do a quick outfit change, Sharon definitely delivers.
Her expertise in lighting, posing, capturing «that moment» and even outfit suggestions all make the pictures incredible. Sharon does a good job of suggesting which poses work well and has tips and pointers to make sure you get a good picture. Everyone compliments our family pictures. I’ve never had so many likes on Facebook until I posted a few pictures from our photo session.
Sharon’s attention to detail like taking a picture a certain way to optimize when printing the photo to her personable demeanor– I definitely recommend you book her soon. In two years, I plan to take formal family shots again and hope Sharon won’t be too busy for my family!

My husband and I took photos with Sharon right before and after the arrival of our first baby. She made the experience so much fun and understood how to avoid making the typical cheezy family portrait. She had great instincts about our relaxed style and was able to curate the perfect environment for the shoot. If my hair was looking flat – she’d give me a heads up and tell me to go fix it. If the color of my outfit didn’t complement my complexion — she made smart recommendations to improve the shot. I’ve always thought that’s what a good photographer should do, which is provide some professional direction on how to create that standout picture.
I’m so glad that we were able to work with her to capture this very important moment in our lives.

Sharon’s work is incredible. She has a very disarming style that really helps you to open up and be yourself. Her shots capture the best moments — when you forgot you were being photographed at all. There are so many great options to choose from at the end. The hardest part about a shoot with Sharon is picking the ones you want!

Sharon Suh began photographing my family 4+ years ago. Since then, we have worked with her a total of seven or eight times! There is so much to say about how fantastic Sharon is, but I will start with her instincts.
You can learn how to be a great technical photographer, but ultimately a person’s instincts will bring the magic. As you peruse Sharon’s website, you will notice that any shot could be in a magazine. Well, here’s the truth, the ENTIRE shoot is like that. Besides her gift with lighting and capturing priceless moments, Sharon is incredible about editing wardrobe and even remarkably mindful of new mamas and any post baby self consciousness they might feel in their post baby bodies. This might be an odd thing to point out, but when you are looking through pics, your baby will always look beautiful to you, but you might be more critical of yourself. Sharon understands this and gently addresses what might be a concern during the shoot.
We have a kids ranging in age from 1 – 18, and I can honestly say she has a knack for connecting with all in an age appropriate way. The big kids think she’s cool and want to work well with her. The littles think she’s fun and that translates in the photographs.
One last thing. Cost. These photos take all of the guesswork out of meaningful gifts for grandparents, father’s day, mother’s day, you name it. Our family members know they will get beautiful photos every year. And let me tell you, they expect them now. Sharon is amazing. Book with her NOW. Unless, of course, it’s a day I want to book with her. :) It will be the best investment into these precious days that will literally last a lifetime.

Amazing memories captured!
Sharon has been photographing my son over the years (he is now 9 years-​old) and the moments she captures are priceless as these moments are super fun, wonderfully sweet and always very cheerful I must admit. Great photos to have for parents, grandparents and for the children themselves, which they will appreciate when they become parents themselves. :)

We hired Sharon for two family photo shoots and were amazed with the results each time. She is like a tornado, snapping away fast and furious — which is important with our two toddlers, who won’t sit still for long… and rarely at the same time. It didn’t seem like any of our attempts were successful, until we saw the photos. Sharon somehow managed to capture our essence as a family, through hundreds of posed and candid photos. The compositions were beautiful, natural, and classic. She is truly talented and has an eye for all the details that go into a memorable photo, including colors, clothing, background scenery, and retouching. (She even pointed out when one of us was wearing shoes and the other wasn’t!) We will treasure her work now and in the future, when our kids grow up and we want to remember exactly what they were like at this age.

Acclaimed photographer, Sharon Suh, is bringing her talent to the masses. Former photo editor for Vanity Fair, In Style, Bön Appetit, and Los Angeles Magazine, she has a keen eye and impeccable sense of style. Sharon knows what works and is intuitive with kids of all ages. She has photographed my family for 10+ years and I cherish every picture. The only dilemma you will have is picking prints and deciding how large to blow them up. Trust me, you will want all of them.

Sharon takes the most fantastic photographs of kids I’ve ever seen. We’ve used her to photograph our kids three times now, and each time she puts everyone at ease, makes it fun, and gets the great shots quickly. Her photographs never look posed, and she makes everyone look as good as they possibly can. She’s fabulous. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

I simply cannot say enough about Sharon — she took the most beautiful & original photos of my family, and she is a warm and wonderful person who was absolutely lovely to work with! It’s pretty difficult to get our 2-​year-​old to pose for photos, but Sharon did a great job. The photos look gorgeous, yet natural — none of that wooden awkwardness or «staged» feeling you sometimes get in professional family photos. I also really appreciate that her prices are very reasonable. I will treasure the beautiful photos she took forever, and I will definitely be hiring her again and again in the future!

Sharon is great. She has taken photos of my family two times and both times they photos turned out great. What I like about her is that the photos feel very natural. She is not the type to line everyone up and take a very posed like picture. She was able to entertain my children with her basket of toys and get them to take very candid looking photos.
I also LOVE that she provides you with the digital negatives. Other places charge so much for the prints and won’t give you access to the digital files.

Sharon is a stone cold rock star. When my wife booked her to do a shoot at our home with our toddler, we were hoping to get 1 or 2 shots we could use for a family portrait, holiday card, etc. Sharon worked energetically through so many different ideas (changes of clothes, locations in and around our house, poses, concepts) that ended up with dozens of fine-​art-​quality photos of our family. We have printed and hung all over our house and get tons of comments on them. Sharon was great with our daughter (she brought gifts and snacks) and a pro to deal with — in addition to not holding a gun to our heads by making us pay by the image after the fact.
In fact I liked her work so much that I hired her to do some professional work for me, and was similarly delighted with the outcome. If you’re considering her, go for it.

Sharon is an amazing photographer. Now that I have found her I will not use anyone else. She is so easy-​going and comfortable to work with. Her shots are beautiful and natural; never stiff or contrived. Sharon is truly an artist and I am so grateful that we found her. Sharon was very patient with my four-​year-​old son and got him to take some beautiful shots even though he was absolutely exhausted. In addition her prices are fair she let us keep the CDs from the shoot and also helped us find a lab to get the best quality prints. Unbelievable. Sharon is truly a gem and I would recommend her without hesitation to anybody looking for an exceptional photographer.

Sharon is as good as they come. She makes it feel so easy, and the photos she has taken are priceless. Despite the fact that my son has an aversion to cameras (no idea why, he certainly doesn’t get it from us!) she managed to capture the best shots I’ve ever seen of him and he had a great time. She is super efficient, very reasonably priced, and incredibly comfortable to work with. We will work with her again and again and again…
