Suzanne Teresa Bio

Today, Beauty and Glamour photographer, Suzanne, Teresa lives on Vancouver Island on a bluff over looking the Georgia Strait in Nanaimo, B.C., but her roots are found back near Toronto.
Suzanne hales from the hardworking blue collar, GM Town: Oshawa Canada. Raised in a “Gm family” (until very recently almost every member of Suzanne’s family worked at GM), Suzanne was encouraged at an early age to find a “good job.” Initially attending Vancouver Island University to become a dental hygienist, a chance meeting with future husband, former gold and platinum recording engineer and producer, turned commercial photographer, Alec Watson, changed both their lives dramatically.
As fate would have it, Suzanne ended up on a somewhat extended date during September 11, 2001 while attending the Country Music Awards with Alec. Not knowing how young Suzanne was at the time, Alec had to go and “meet the parents” before Suzanne could leave on the 5 day first date with this relative stranger from Nashville. Showing Alec around her parent’s house, he was struck by the collage of 1200 photos that covered every inch of Suzanne’s bedroom wall and exclaimed: “You’re not a hygenist, you’re a photographer!” After a somewhat extended stay at the music awards during what became a very introspective time for everybody in 2001, Suzanne returned to University and changed her major from science to photography. Suzanne is quick to point out, however, that she minored in psychology and according to her: “. . . these days, working full time with my husband and beautiful models, I utilize my psych degree daily.”
Today, Suzanne has a fantastic list of commercial clients ranging from coloured diamonds to retail giants and has shot models ranging from gorgeous friends to Ford, Maxim and Playboy. Between 2008 and 2009 Suzanne has had commercial shoots in Singapore, L.A. Chicago, London, Atlanta, Toronto, Seattle, Vancouver, Cabos, Las Vegas . . .
Always concerned that corporate executives wouldn’t take her seriously as an artist because of her looks, Suzanne stayed away from modeling after she turned 20. “Modeling has always been something of a secret desire for me, but at 5’5” and being kind of curvy, the only place I could really see me having any success would be Playboy. And what would I tell my Dad and brother: ‘. . . you guys might want to skip that issue!’” laughs Suzanne. As somewhat of a last “kick at the cat” Suzanne had some photos taken by husband Alec while they were in Cabo working on a shoot with Playboy South America twins Nadia and Dana Bruna. Having sent the images in to Maxim in Spring 2009, Suzanne now finds herself as the first Canadian to be a Maxim Hometown Hotties finalist.
Looking to the future, Suzanne’s five year plan is to be shooting for Maxim as their feature photographer. Recognized internationally as an outstanding Beauty and Glamour photographer with endorsement deals from the top names in photography equipment, it’s likely that Suzanne will be attaining her goals . . . and then some. Beauty and Glamour Photographer Suzanne Teresa is a hard working, talented artist and an outstanding beauty.
