Susan Carey is an award-winning fine art photographer whose photographs have been exhibited in New York City, Los Angeles, Santa Cruz and Rome, Italy.

Inspired and moved by the birth of her first daughter in 1999, Susan expanded her work to include fine art portraits of pregnancy, newborns and new families. She brings to her pregnancy portraits over 18 years of experience shooting fine art nudes. As a result, women from around the world commission her to transform them into tasteful works of art.

Susan’s images, black and white, authentic, and never flinching from the inherently sexy -challenge us to question the stereotypes of pregnancy. Susan believes that pregnancy is a time of extraordinary beauty and wisdom in a woman’s life. She redefines the way society views the pregnant body by capturing the radiance, sensuality and joy of each of her clients.

“I don’t project onto a woman how to experience her pregnancy in these portraits, I simply help her experience her true nature- her power, beauty, strength and sensuality that is already there waiting to be revealed. These images elevate a woman’s experience, and societies view, of pregnancy, to a place of reverence”
( Aug/ Sept 08 issue of Fit Pregnancy).

  Susan brings the same insight and passion to her newborn portraiture. She reveals the serenity of new life in an artistic and moving way, creating intimate images that become life-long treasures.

In addition to her pregnancy and newborn photography, Susan continues to shoot fine art nudes. Her warmth, empathy and humor make women feel comfortable with what, for many is the first time they’ve been photographed semi-nude or nude. Most of her clients proudly frame and hang their portraits like fine art in a gallery.

Giving back to the community is extremely important to Susan. In addition to donating her work and a percentage of income from her sittings to various charities that support women and children, she also provides monthly sittings to low-income mothers. “I want to make my work available to women who could not otherwise afford it”

Susan lives in Los Angeles with the loves of her life-her husband and their two daughters.
