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

There is nothing I love more in this world than creating artwork for people that is both beautiful and meaningful.

Just recently I had the pleasure doing so for a fellow photographer friend who just welcomed their family’s new little guy, Noah.

I took these digitals so mama would have some images to make a birth announcement right away, but I cannot wait to get my film scans back of this session.  Stay tuned for more photos of Noah and part deux with his whole family..

Thank you so much to my friend Laurie for allowing us the privilege of capturing her new family of five and also a big thank you to my good friend Naja for coming to collaborate with me, so much fun to work alongside you! 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.
