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

Meet baby Archie – all 6 lbs and 8 oz of him!  Vasili and I consider ourselves incredibly lucky to work with such amazing people, and this family was no exception.  We walked into little Archie’s nursery and immediately we felt this wave of positive energy come over us – we were greeted with smiles and espresso; the room was filled with beautiful, vibrant colors; the sun was peeking in through the shades just enough to remind us that it’s still there (something that the long winter makes me often forget…); there was Bob Marley lullaby tunes playing softly in our ears; and low-and-behold, I look in the corner only to find a serene little buddha guarding over the room.  I think it’s safe to say that everything about the day couldn’t have been any more perfect.  Congratulations to this Bump Club family and also thank you for making us feel so at home 🙂

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.
