Suzie sits actively on Learning For Life's marketing committee, she volunteers her skills in photography to help spread the word that Learning For Life is a fantastic program dedicated to teaching our youth about preventing bullying and guiding our young adults to find their life skills. Learning For Life is an organization that Suzie fully believes in and is dedicated to making sure that our youth have a strong future.
The project A Diary of Hope Volume 1: "Celebrating Life After Cancer" started in 2009 when Suzie learned that her family has a history of battling and winning against breast cancer. Two of the featured woman celebrating life in this coffee table book are family members of Suzie's. Photographing her grandmother, cousin, along with women across our nation, celebrating their lives, was an eye opening experience and taught Suzie that there is much more to life than she originally thought. A Diary of Hope Volume 1: "Celebrating Life After Breast Cancer" was released Oct. 1st 2011. The collector's edition was sold only during the month of October and all proceeds were donated to a local breast cancer research organization, you can still order your Standard Version online. A Diary Of Hope Volume 2: "Celebrating Life After Breast Cancer" is currently being photographed with no set publication date.
On top of each of the listed activities Suzie is very active in the Lehigh Acres Chamber of Commerce. She joined LACC Aug 2010 and within one year she accepted the position of secretary for Leads Group, later joined the Ambassadors Committee, and is currently planning Lehigh Acres Chamber of Commerce's 20th Annual Gala, Knights of the Round Table "Celebrating the business community of Lehigh Acres". Lehigh Acres Chamber of Commerce has helped guide Lady In Pink Photography in the right direction and grow L.I.P.P.'s customer base by 3 times.
Suzie could not have accomplished everything she has done today without a sound education. Suzie began exploring the world photography as a young girl, a point a shoot camera with something called film... She would tell her 3 siblings to "Strike a pose". While attending Lehigh Senior High School she found guidance in photography club. After graduating LSHS in 2003, Suzie began an amazing journey to Florida's very own Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. Before her graduation date of March 2006, Suzie had found an amazing mentor, Larry Capdeville of Photography By Imaginations. While training under a Master Photographer, Suzie was able to master her very own craft. Suzie owes everything Lady In Pink Photography is today to her professors at AI and her training from Mr. Capdeville.
In today's slow economy Lady In Pink Photography has survived by having a sound business plan, a clear view of the market, and a heart that doesn't know how to stop giving.
