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

When it comes to having family photos taken inside, I think there is a lot of fear around how they’ll look. What if my house isn’t really bright and filled with sunlight? What if I don’t have a home that looks like it’s straight out of the Everygirl? Some of my favorite shoots are inside with families, just capturing the most simple of moments.. reading books together, feeding your little one.. and honestly, most of the time I’m shooting in homes that don’t look like magazine features and don’t have great sunlight. Often times I’m posing families on the floor by a window, even if it’s in front of a dresser, and some of my favorite shooting scenarios are dimly lit because they make for the most beautiful classic B&W images that are soft and warm. Take a look at this newborn photography session below to get an idea of what your newborn session at home could look like. xo

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.
