Hi, I'm Suzy, a photographer, mentor and mom of 3. I'm so glad you're here.

Sweet Celia (pronounced ‘sell-ya’) is turning 2 and expecting a new little brother soon. I spent an entire morning with them as they went through their normal routine of painting after waking up, getting dressed (Celia dressed herself in a fashionable raincoat and tiger hat), going to the park, bath time and a birthday cupcake. It was puuurfect!

Anyway, I think that less said is probably more so you can let the words of the story unfold as you look through the photos.. (kind of the opposite of reading a book I suppose, where you imagine the pictures as you read the words). And besides, I don’t really have words for how how awesome these are 😉

Happy birthday Celia and can’t wait to see you all again soon once the little guy decides to arrive! xoxo

The Artist

Suzzane
brown

For nearly two decades, I’ve worked with individuals and families who understand the value of time. And the importance of preserving it well.

My work centers on creating living archives: carefully composed records of a life as it’s being lived. Not performances. Not surface moments. But the relationships, environments, and details that define a legacy.

I approach each commission with the eye of an artist and the discipline of a documentarian. Listening closely. Observing deeply. Shaping work that is meant to endure. Crafted on film, finished as heirloom objects, and designed to be held in your hands, lived with in the home, and passed down in your private family vault. 

This is not photography for the present moment.

It is art made in service of memory, history, and the generations that follow.
