Meet Susan Bankhead

Hi, I’m Susan Bankhead, the heart behind Dry Canyon Photography here in beautiful Redmond, Oregon. Photography has been a part of my life for over a decade — from capturing moments for friends and family to working professionally in the industry. Over the years, I’ve learned that the most meaningful portraits aren’t just about a smile or a pose — they’re about connection, emotion, and the story behind every face.

Now, I’m turning that passion into a business built around celebrating people and their journeys. I specialize in senior portraits, families, individuals, and Golden Years sessions, focusing on genuine expressions and the moments that matter most. My goal is to create a comfortable, relaxed experience where your true personality shines through.

Every person has a story worth remembering — and through my lens, I strive to capture yours.

Why Choose Me

My Promise

I help you feel comfortable and celebrated, whether it’s senior photos, family portraits, or special moments in Bend and Redmond.
