Hi, I’m Susan—photographer, artist, beachcomber, and lifelong lover of animals and nature.
After two decades in the corporate world, I followed my heart and built a life centered around creativity, kindness, and the beauty of the natural world. I’ve spent years capturing wildlife across the globe, creating meaningful imagery for animal rescue organizations, and helping small businesses tell their stories through custom visuals.
Today, I split my time between photographing pets and wild places, handcrafting ocean-inspired jewelry from local finds, and teaching others how to use photography as a tool for connection and expression. Whether you're here to find the perfect print for your home, book a joyful dog photo session, join me on a photo walk, or explore custom branding and imagery for your business—I'm so glad you’re here.
At Good Focused, everything I create is designed to do one thing: spread more goodness.
That might be a moment of calm captured in a coastal sunrise, a playful portrait of your pup, or an image that helps your brand connect with the world in a meaningful way.
Let’s create something beautiful together.
Over the years, my work through Good Focused has connected me with artists, photographers, and creatives around the world who share the same values—curiosity, kindness, conservation, and a desire to leave places better than we found them.
That shared spirit eventually grew into the Adventure Artists Collective—a welcoming community for artists and storytellers who want to travel with intention, learn from one another, and use creativity as a force for good.
If Good Focused is where the work begins, the Collective is where it comes to life through shared experiences.
