A Glimpse Inside Susanne Payer’s Garden, Home & Wardrobe

I first met Susanne Payer about one year ago at a dinner party held in our dear friend’s home Erika Zahl-Berg. Susanne was super friendly to me from the first moment she got to know me; she is such a nice person! Over the delicious dinner that Erika prepared for us, I chatted a bit about my profession and importance of finding fitting and creative locations for my photoshoots. Susanne happily offered her home and garden to host my next shoot for the I Am Leonie Lookbook. She lives outside Vienna, has a dream property and invests a lot of time in taking care of it, especially the garden. The photoshoot took place a couple of weeks later, my team and I felt wonderful and to our delight, everything came perfectly together. A few months later I had the pleasure to show a bit of my home country to Erika, Susanne and her husband, Piet. It was one of the most beautiful trips I ever did!

We kept contact ever since, we sometimes meet over lunch or drinks, I love their company and the fact that I am getting out of my daily routine. They are highly educated, honest, sensitive and loving people.

In the following photos I am presenting a part of Susanne’s wardrobe, home and garden. I asked her to pick five favourite outfits and to tell us a bit about them. We photographed one day before Easter, it was such a wonderful day!
