On May 15 Seabrook Island Village (SIV) sponsored “Picturing YOU, a Complimentary Portrait Experience” exclusively for its members, with the help of fellow resident and talented photographer, Susan Culler Soden, and her colleague, Cheryl Bluth.
SIV Membership Chair, Kathleen Buchman coordinated the event, which was hosted by Kathleen and Debbie Ely, SIV Social Membership Chair. Snacks and drinks were provided for the 14 members who had their photos taken, and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly.
The portraits will be professionally framed for members to keep for themselves, or to give as gifts to their families.
While Susan is well known for her wildlife images, her first love has always been photographing people. Susan and Cheryl are very passionate about this project. According to Susan, “This project has been in my heart since I came to Seabrook. It took me a couple of years to get to know enough people on the island to make it happen. I love people, portraits and our island – it’s a passion for me to give back to the people and a place that means so much to me. Now I have the privilege of bringing these portraits to life.” Cheryl’s experience with her own aging family helped make our members comfortable during the photo sessions.
A heartfelt ‘thank you’ to Susan Culler Soden and Cheryl Bluth for sharing their time and talent in making this a joyous event for our SIV members.
