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

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Emilia who dreamed of being a wedding photographer.

And then, she became one.

And not just any ordinary wedding photographer, Emilia was an extra special one.  She had a husband who she was madly in love with and that love helped her to be able to see very special things in other people.  Emilia also loved good wine and food, enjoyed reading for fun.. she had a warm heart and a big smile, and couldn’t live without coffee.

One day  I had the pleasure of spending the day with Emilia and getting to know her and her husband, Wil.

Oh, and I did some ‘headshots’ of them for her website 🙂 (I’ve never been one for the traditional, so, yep, this is what headshots with me looks like)

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.
