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

Years ago I first came across Melissa Diep’s fabulous wedding work while at a local photographer meet up group and have been hooked on her blog ever since.  I’m sure you can imagine my excitement and delight when I got an email from her a few months ago asking if I would capture both her pregnancy and little Giant (who just arrived last week!!).  I had so much fun getting to know her while we shot a mini-maternity session this summer to celebrate her and all of her fabulousness, and am beyond excited to visit her family next week to finally meet the little guy who’s been baking in her belly for the past 9 months.

Anyway, here’s a peek into our time together this summer.  Thank you so much Melissa for not only a great afternoon but for the honor and privilege of capturing this special time in your family’s life 🙂 You are such a beautiful mama already, inside and out. muah! xoxo

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.
