Under the umbrella of "Stylist" there are many subcategories; This workshop will focus on tabletop styling for product, and propping food images. Some topics will include developing a critical eye, best tools and tricks for styling, general composition, prop shopping and following your creative instinct.

About Suzanne
Hi!
I'm a Photo and Video Stylist working in both the commercial and editorial sectors
of advertising throughout New England.
My experience began in 2015 by being signed at a representative agency in Boston. Soon after, in early 2016, I was hired as the in-house stylist for Stonewall Kitchen Family of Brands. I worked there exclusively until mid 2019 when I chose to become a freelance stylist.
I love meeting new people and sharing what I can to help others on their journey, the same way I was so generously mentored as I entered the world of styling for large (and small) scale productions!
A sample of the clients I've worked with:
Siggi's
Hannaford Supermarkets
iRobot
Truly Hard Seltzer
The Boston Globe
Stonyfield
The New England Patriots
BJ's Wholesale
Roche Bros Supermarkets
OXO
Keurig
Nerf
Tea Forte
