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

I truly believe that there are people in this world whom you are meant to cross paths with – for me, this family was definitely one of them.  I have said this a million times before and I’ll say it a million more, I absolutely get to work with the best and most beautiful (inside & out!) people.  In the long and short-end of things, this family and I spent a great deal of time together in the past couple of months as I accompanied them through their birth journey and getting to know them better (click here to check out our session before Sloane’s arrival!). When I finally met baby Sloane, it was no surprise to me that she was just as lovely and sweet and her mom and dad (even at just 10 days old!).  For her newborn session I wanted to tell a story of what a typical day might look like as a new family together..  wake up together in the morning, feed, hang out, feed, nap, and then fall into dreams of being snuggled up back in mama’s belly..

It was simple.

It was real.

It was perfect.

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.
