newborn

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

There is the old saying, “It takes a village to raise a baby.” (or in this case, two babies)

And we often get to see the validity of this phrase when we show up for our newborn sessions with clients and – whether it’s grandma staying to help for a few weeks or a friend helping out for the day – there are often other family & friends present. A new baby certainly brings a whole community (or even just a few extra loved ones) together and Milo & Clark were no exception. When I arrived to their place for photos I got to also meet their Grandma who had been helping out mom & dad for a couple of weeks. Even more than spending time with new parents, I love meeting new grandparents – their excitement is so palpable, it’s hard not to feel it yourself.

And in lieu of that, I thought today’s session I’d focus on the family dynamic in the images I chose to share..

Anyway, I had the absolute best time in the world with this family to capture their new life with twin boys. Thanks so much again to mom & dad for inviting me out and for all of the cups of coffee you made us (Vasili and I appreciate those little gestures more than you know) 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.
