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

It seems like just yesterday I was photographing this awesome mama when she was expecting.. And then all of a sudden baby Zevi arrived and we photographed him as a newborn.. and then, in what seemed like an instant, little Zev turned into a smiley, giggly 6-month old baby blaring with personality and who can sit up all on his own.  Really where does the time go??  To celebrate Zev turning 6 months, we spent the afternoon walking around downtown and along the river, checking out some of this family’s favorite views of the city along the way.  And I don’t know what I was more impressed with – Zev’s GORGEOUS big eyes or his unbelievably hip baby sunglasses (well obviously the former but his glasses came in a close second ;)).  Thank you so much to Z’s family for inviting me over to capture him as he’s growing and for making it an awesome day!

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.
