About Susan Pacek - The Artist Behind the Camera.
What Makes Me Different.
A Decade of Photography Experience
Since 2005, I have been photographing professionally throughout Mexico and the US, capturing more than 600 incredible love stories and countless families.
From Colorado to Isla Mujeres
Photography has been my passion since I was in high school. In 2012, I packed my bags and moved from Colorado to Mexico, and I’ve called Isla Mujeres home ever since. I love helping couples and families feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera while capturing natural, candid moments. Every session is tailored to your story, personality, and the unique beauty of the location.
Expertise & Trust
With years of experience, I’ve honed my ability to anticipate and adapt to any situation, ensuring that every moment, big or small, is thoughtfully documented. I’m not only skilled in capturing the planned shots but also in pivoting when things don’t go as expected, making sure nothing slips through the cracks. With me behind the lens, you can trust that your special moments will be expertly preserved, no matter what the day brings.
Recognized & Inclusive
Over the years, my work has been featured in several magazines and blogs. My approach is personal, warm, and inclusive — LGBTQ+ couples and families are always welcomed and celebrated.
Extensive Knowledge About Isla Mujeres
Having lived on the island since 2012, I’ve gained an intimate understanding of its hidden gems and stunning backdrops.
Gear, Gear and Backup Gear
I use professional camera gear with backup equipment to ensure nothing is missed. Your memories deserve the best, and I'm ready for any situation to deliver stunning results.

Life Beyond the Camera Lens…
A few years ago, I began embarking on long-distance treks, and it’s become one of my greatest passions. I've walked several routes across Spain, France, and Portugal along the Camino de Santiago, as well as the Way of Saint Francis in Italy and the Tour du Mont Blanc in the Alps!
My long-distance treks taught me patience, observation, and storytelling — skills I bring to every session.
