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

Vasili and I consider ourselves incredibly blessed to be able to meet so many new parents and also help welcome their little ones into the world.  We especially count our blessings when we get to do this for those we love, and so with that being said I introduce to you 9 day-old baby M.  M’s mom and dad are some of our closest friends – actually, I will go so far to say he’s almost like a nephew as I am still trying to figure out a way to be adopted into his family 😉 – and we couldn’t be happier for them.  I’m so amazed that for such a teeny tiny boy (just under 6 lbs!) all the gigantic smiles he had (in addition to his other hilarious expressions lol).  Anyway, here’s but a few of those handsome grins.. thanks again Laura & Joe for inviting us over to document M’s first days and congratulations!!!

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.
