BLUSH for Monica & Andy | Katie Driscoll

kids

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

Katie Driscoll is an amazing woman, championing to change the face of beauty. After she had her daughter Grace, who has Down Syndrome, Katie dedicated herself to pushing companies to include children with special needs in their advertising and marketing campaigns. I was lucky enough to spend the morning getting to know her and her six kiddos better for a recent BLUSH shoot with Monica & Andy. One of the things we talked about, and really I didn’t think much about until now, I’ve never had a family with a special needs child book a shoot with me. And it got me thinking.. why is that?

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.
