“As an accomplished award-winning artist, Sue Tatham uses a most thoughtful and artistic approach to all her photography regardless of the subject. She is particularly adept with newborn babies, but equally so with weddings and parties. She is always open to suggestions but also insists on maintaining a really professional outcome. Has done some lovely work with my family and friends.” ~ Janet Burtt
