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

Meet baby Zevi, who was so excited to meet his mama & papa that he came 6 weeks early!  Though as you can see, even at 3 weeks old Zevi was still so teeny tiny <3 Congratulations little Z, Vasili and I are so happy we got to meet you and that you are now safe and sound at home!

Also, speaking of Vasili, I wanted to thank him immensely for helping me out with this session.  As most of you already know, Vasili helps me photograph our weddings that we book and now we’ve both discovered how much of a big help he is with my newborn sessions as well.  Honestly since he has been assisting me at my baby shoots, my images have exponentially improved and I feel as though my artistic vision is finally coming to life thanks to him – a balance of both newborn portraiture of those dreamy, sleepy poses in addition to some lifestyle images of baby connecting with family.  It’s not perfect, I’m not the best, but it’s not about capturing perfect images for me … it’s about capturing perfect moments.

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.
