Based in Boise, Idaho, Glenn wanted a more national presence. Suzanne revamped his portfolio and created a mailing campaign that was extremely successful. Subsequently, Glenn appeared on the cover of Photo District News 50 Photographers/50 States. As his work progressed and Suzanne continued to revise his portfolio, he received higher fees. Suzanne and Glenn are in the process of revising his marketing, creating bi-monthly e-mail blasts and semiannual mailings. In Glenn’s words, “All this effort has paid off. In a career that spans 20 years, I am having my best year ever.”

Jeff had worked with several consultants before he was referred to Suzanne Sease Productions. Jeff and Suzanne’s styles and personalities clicked, resulting in two complete portfolios – one of children and one of dogs – as well as a beautiful website. He was asked to bid for Huggies, Cesar Dog Food, Hills and Blue Dart Frog. Jeff has just completed a successful national tour, photographing canines for his upcoming book, “Excuse Me, May I Shoot Your Dog?”

Cade worked with one of the best consultants before she retired, so Suzanne Sease Productions had some tough competition. He needed to update his work and present it in a better manner. Suzanne and Cade determined who his audience should be and Cade reached them the old-fashioned way – in face-to-face meetings, which resulted in a steady flow of work. Thanks to his busy schedule, he no longer has time for cold calling, but his website continues to bring in new clients. Cade and Suzanne have been working together for years on his estimates, resulting in higher fees for him. In addition, several of Cade’s images (handpicked by Suzanne) were selected for the Communication Arts photo annual, resulting in more inquiries and projects.

Colby Lysne» view website

When Colby Lysne wanted to make the jump from assistant to professional photographer, he enlisted the help of Suzanne Sease. He brought with him two styles of work, the safe stuff he thought he should show and the great images that were about him. You can tell which one she
chose. Colby really wanted to show the images that reflected him but needed that push to believe he could market that work. Suzanne was very enthusiastic about the work and he trusted her. Now Colby is signed with Virtu, a national rep firm with amazing talent. He is getting the assignments he always wanted. Suzanne is glad he listened and chose not to show the safe images but to follow his heart.
