Susie Reed Photos is a corporate sponsor of NAWBO and for many years Reed served on the board of directors of California Lawyers for the Arts. Much of Susie Reed's expertise photographing people and events comes from her being head of the backstage photo crew at the California Music Awards (aka the BAMMIES - Bay Area Music Awards) for nearly twenty years. This popular annual San Francisco black tie concert and awards ceremony always featured musicians, sports legends, actors, comedians, and elected officials. They presented Reed with one of their awards for her many years of service. Susie Reed primarily shoots out in the field, on location, capturing subjects as she finds them rather than setting up shots in a studio. She loves to photograph many subjects. Her favorite fine art subjects include rock art and Indian ruins, landscapes, fruits and vegetables, vineyards, gardens and flowers – especially orchids, tulips and roses. Her photographic studies are extensive and insightful. She creates unique, intimate, breathe-taking glimpses of the world. In June 2008 the Sedona Arts and Cultural Commission awarded Susie Reed a $5000 Artist Project Grant to photograph rock art, work on a book and put some of her rock art photos permanently on display in several Sedona area visitor centers. Their two grant review committees unanimously choose Reed as their top recipient. Many of her Indian ruin and rock art photos are in the Coconino National Forest archives.
