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

… for ice cream (photos!), or so this little guy’s mom would say 🙂

One of the best parts about my job is getting to literally watch families be created and grow over time and this family in particular I’ve had the pleasure of being there to capture from the very beginning.  I first documented their life and love before baby Graham was even born; I watched him take his very first breath in the wee hours of a snowy, winter night; Vasili and I photographed him as he slept through peaceful dreams at one week old;  I helped him welcome his first spring at 3 months and now again at 6 months old I returned to enjoy ice cream with him and his family on (well, what was supposed to be) a hot summer day at the beach.  It wasn’t quite a hot summer day but what we got was even better – an empty beach after the rain.  The wind was so crazy I honestly wasn’t sure how the session would go, but turns out torrential winds make Graham the happiest boy on earth.  And if you don’t believe me just check out his big gummy smiles for yourself.

Thank you so much to this family for not only making it one of the best and most fun days I’ve had in a while, but for allowing me the honor, blessing and privilege of capturing their sweet little guy as he ventures through his first year of life.  See you soon for a fall day at month 9!

Behind the Camera

Suzzane

My name is Suzy and for the last 18 years I've had the absolute honor and privilege of photographing families during their life's greatest moments in Chicago and all around the world (and I have the smile lines to prove it). I absolutely love photography, and I am extremely good at what I do. But my absolute best and most important work is being able to help people connect with their families. So they can see and appreciate of all of things that are so wonderful about their life.
