![]() I learned so many things (business, marketing, posing, lighting) from Sue and this education site and I am forever grateful for discovering her. This year, 2017, I found the courage to do the big change and, now, my main site is only for portraits and I transitioned into full IPS and selling prints. I started working on my craft, doing shots with anybody willing to and slowly transitioning from my wedding business to my portrait business. Sue, portraiture and this education site saved me and my business from sinking. I had no will of doing anything, I was just editing weddings because I had clients and they were waiting for their images. In 2015 an event into my family, a life changing and horrible event called cancer got to my mom, 3 months I was between home and hospitals, and after that about 6 months into a depressive state. I started watching Sue since her first live workshop on creativelive but did not found the power to transition into portraits because weddings brought money in, but i continued to watch her live workshops (and cried and laughed every time and every time I felt I have the power to do anything I want) and to follow her page and her work and I was more and more in love with this craft, I knew it was something I had to do and wanted to do, like a true calling in life. I started with a maternity shoot and then went into weddings and events, My heart was with portraits but found myself paralyzed whenever I had to get closer to anyone and tell them what to do in order for me to take a portrait. I knew I wanted to do something else and discovered photography, in 2011. “I used to work in a dull office in a bank. Sue Bryce gave me the tools to do that! Just through this education, Sue has shown me strength in myself I didn’t know I had! I have grown so much in this last year, not just in my photography, but personally!! I am so very grateful! Thank you, Sue! Sincerely, thank you!!!!” - Cheri Flippen Houston, TX ![]() Everything will probably not be perfect, but it will be leaps and bounds ahead of what I could have done on my own! Every time I feel doubt and fear creep into my head, I’m able to calm it and bring it around. The value of this education is literally worth thousands! It’s incredible! I hope to open my business officially early next year. So much of the business side is completely laid out, so many things I don’t have to figure out myself or ask friends/family their opinion on – so important!! The support from the mentors and like-minded photographers is second to none! It’s like a franchise system without the huge costs. I’ve been absorbing as much as I can and have learned so much through her education site! Do I make mistakes, yes! But they are mistakes she warned about and I was more prepared to handle them. My job was getting more and more stressful and then I saw one of Sue Bryce’s Creative Live courses and it touched me! I connected with her so deeply and I knew that this is what I wanted to do! With my husband’s support, I quit my stressful job and started studying. After doing my nephews photos, I realized that newborn photography was not for me, but it brought me back to my love of photography. I took Kelly Brown’s newborn boot camp on Creative Live and I learned of Sue Bryce, but was consumed with the idea of newborn. My nephew was due and as an avid hobbyist, I really wanted to take his newborn photos. “My story started when I was on the cusp of a nervous breakdown from my job.
