Susan Youshaw Cashner

I’m a creative, fine art portrait photographer located in the quaint downtown of historic Hollidaysburg, PA. I take my clients on a journey beyond beautiful portraits creating empowering, personal, and artistic masterpieces. Truthfully, my work is a bit of a hodgepodge. I dabble in a little bit of everything but focus mostly on my imaginative, confidence-boosting portraits with my boudoir and senior clients. I still enjoy capturing those timeless love stories and continue to take on a handful of weddings each year. And recently I’ve been working with more local businesses through impactful Branding Photography. As a proud small business owner myself, I have a special place in my heart for helping local enterprises grow and flourish. Over the years, my photography journey has evolved into a deeper mission. Witnessing the struggles people face with self-esteem and body image, I decided to go beyond the lens. As a body image activist and certified CBT Integrated Wellness life coach, I often integrate coaching techniques, affirmations, and mindfulness into my sessions. It is my goal to help every client express their beautiful individuality, feel empowered in their own skin, and truly see their self-worth. It would be my honor to help you strip away all the BS that the world has told you about who, how, and what you should be. Let’s let you shine, just as you are, because everyone, in every season of life, is worthy of documentation and celebration!
