Susan Stanton has spent years traveling and photographing the beauty and rustic charm that is known as the Southern Appalachians. A vast array of images depicting scenes along the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Pisgah National Forest, Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, and upstate South Carolina can be found in her online pictorial gallery.

Susan shoots her subjects in carefully selected lighting conditions to emphasize their natural textures and colors. Her images have been described by Marshall Gordon of Bold Life Magazine as "a wide variety of beautifully composed, hauntingly original nature scenes saturated with deep, textured colors...exposures so painterly, that many of her clients insist that's exactly what they are."
