my life

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

You know those times that the universe brings you exactly what you need when you need it, but not necessarily in the shiny, pretty, convenient package you had hoped it would arrive in? Yeah, totally my morning right now. Being a night owl these days, I am always telling myself that I wish I somehow could find the motivation to wake up earlier in the morning and be more productive with the quiet that comes only before the sun rises. Well, I got exactly what I asked for when our new neighbors moved in recently because their dog routinely barks at 6 in the morning, presumably after they leave for work, and does.not.stop. Which means I unhappily and grumblingly drudged myself out of bed today, only to find that once I washed my face and got the dream seals off my eyes that it actually felt kind of, no, really good to be up so early. I have some french press going right now, and already am half way through my new emails and oodles of work. Huh, ain’t that sumpthin’… 🙂

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.
