Susan's fantastic photographic abilities bring out the true beauty of our client's homes. Susan's high attention to detail and keen eye for the perfect shots are why we continue to work with her! She is highly recommended by MA Peterson. **★★★★★ — Murphy & Co. Design, March 2015** > Susan Gilmore and her team have photographed many projects for us over the years, and we have consistently been over impressed with not only the very high level of thought, detail, and quality of the images, but of the easy going personality of Susan as well. She is remarkably kind and generous, with a smile on at all times! She has a keen eye for framing a shot just right. We have been so impressed with her work that we hired her to photograph our own office. Highly recommended! **★★★★★ — Meriwether Inc, Feb. 2015** > Susan is an incredible photographer! Her knowledge of her craft is impeccable & her artistic ability to bring out the best in a project is remarkable. She & her team have photographed many of my projects and her ability to capture the space and bring out the light has always delighted me. It has been a joy to work with Susan. **★★★★★ — David Heide Design Studio, Dec. 2014** > Susan is phenomenal at her craft! She is the best in so many ways – and has been photographing our portfolio for years. From her serene lighting, to her eye for detail, she makes us look great every time! To this, add her charm & wit which make every shoot enjoyable – she’s the true meaning of grace under pressure! We think the world of Susan and her husband, John Lauenstein and his technical support as well. We would recommend their team without reservation – we are grateful to them for so much! **★★★★★ — Mary Hickey Interiors, Dec. 2014** > Susan Gilmore is a professional in every sense of the word. As a photographer, she has a tremendous "eye" and impeccable taste. She can size up a space and immediately know how best to shoot it; I appreciate that sense and trust it. Along with her talent, Susan brings a wealth of knowledge about the details of photography, is always well-prepared and above all...just plain nice.And I would say...a perfectionist. I know I will get her consistent best when I hire Susan to help me portray the atmosphere of a home. **★★★★★ — Lucy Interior Design, Nov. 2014** > Susan Gilmore is the best! When we need to photograph special projects, we head to Susan and her crew of talented team members. They are always a joy to work with, dedicated to customer satisfaction, very attentive to detail (we love!), and always delivering stunning results. ## Selected projects - [Crocus Hill Shingle Style](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/crocus-hill-shingle-style-pj-vj~773531) - Location: Saint Paul, MN - Photos: 12 - Description: A recently built John Kraemer & Sons home in St. Paul's Crocus Hill Neighborhood.

As the project progressed, the homeowners desired to keep the cream walls and floors, so I used inspiration from vintage mid century films such as The Patsy (1964), where color is strong and kept to the furnishings. The homeowners had a love of elegance, art deco, antiques, and Hmong culture hence the gold, black, warm woods, and ethnic influences.
