About Susan Heard Photography

Helping You Stand Out with Confidence and Authenticity

You work hard to build your business — and you deserve images that reflect that same level of excellence. Whether at the studio or on location, I help professionals and entrepreneurs refresh their brand, elevate their image, and show up confidently online and in person.

Whether it’s your Linkedin headshot, a full branding session, or fine-art portraits that tell your story, my goal is simple: to help you be seen the way you were created — with purpose, strength, and authenticity.

I Understand What It’s Like to Be on the Other Side of the Camera

I know how uncomfortable it can feel to step in front of the camera — wondering how to pose, what to wear, or whether your photos will look and feel “like you.”
That’s why I’ve created a photography experience that’s calm, guided, and genuinely enjoyable. From wardrobe help to coaching on expression & pose, I’ll walk you through every step so you can relax and trust the process.

A Little About Me

I’m Susan Heard — a headshot and branding photographer based in Germantown, Tennessee. I’m passionate about helping people see the beauty within and create images that open doors of opportunity.

After years of photographing everything from families to professionals, I’ve learned that great photography isn’t just about light and cameras — it’s about connection.

My studio is a place where people feel seen, celebrated, and encouraged to embrace who they truly are.

As a Christian and an empty nester, I believe deeply that every person has a story worth telling and and a strength that deserves to be seen.. Photography just happens to be the tool I use to help reveal it.
